From October when this tour began, it was announced that guitarist Mai would be leaving the band after the final. The show on December 28, 2010 was sold out as fans of the group gathered to see the four members together on stage for the last time.

When the SE began and the members appeared on stage in a gondola, the crowd erupted in wild applause. The show kicked off with Akai kutsu no shoujo to gangu no kikanjuu. The stage was wider than usual at the front, allowing the members to cover more ground moving left and right. As the light illuminated the sparkling four members, it seemed the curtain had opened to reveal a fairy tail rock scene.

During the followingTatoe, when Keiyu called "ready", the fans and members all jumped together, showing the venue had become one. Keiyu then addressed the audience: "It's our tour final! Thank you all for coming today. Next up is a song from our album GURICO." The following Machi no hikari was a lively piece which combined piano beautifully with Yuhra's bass and Mai's guitar. Mai then started off the following song, Shanghai yuugi, a well loved number from Kra's early live shows.

Keiyu then said, "I am so thankful that for a long time I've been able to live like I'm dreaming. Please listen to this next song." Yume no you na hibi (Every day like a dream) was then announced, and the fans seemed to lose themselves in the piece.

Keiyu continued, "As you know, Mai will be resigning from Kra and from music. But it wouldn't be Kra-like to get too melancholy. We're a fun loving group. So let's fly!" For Renjou sorofi, the fans called out the members' names one by one - Yasuno, Yuhra, Mai and finally Keiyu. During Ame no kokuhaku the fans followed Keiyu's hand choreography, and Mai rocked his guitar solo in the middle of the stage. The familiar, intense live numbers artman and Showtime were next. The set finished with A bien tot, during which the fans blew their whistles which had been bonus goods from the album GURICO, finishing off the set all together.

The encore, for which six dancers were added in, started off with bird and extra kingdom. put his all into the dance, using his whole body and heating up the hall. The temperature rose further as the fans moshed from one side to the other in Cab.D. Mai's guitar introduced the following Yume de oboreta sakana, and the fans moved their hands as one with the members. The last song, Buriki no hata, started with the voices of the fans. The hall was lit up brilliantly and Mai went to center stage for a deep bow.

At this point the members took some time to share their thoughts with the crowd. Keiyu started off, saying, "Thank you for giving us the best live. Please don't forget the four of us." Yasuno followed: "Thank you all for coming out to be with us tonight. It was the best scenery. Thanks for rocking out." Yuhra echoed the sentiments: "Thank you for making the best live and the best scenery."

Finally it was Mai's turn. "I was afraid and uneasy about this live, but the four of us came here hoping you guys would all enjoy yourselves. Please take care of the three-man Kra from now on!"

After each member shared their thoughts, the four joined hands and took a deep bow. Wild applause followed them as they exited the stage.

Although Kra has always been a four member band, the live today gave hope that the three members will still continue to grow. And it looks like Mai will keep on supporting the band from the sidelines as their number one fan.
