Minors will be permitted entry to the event, which continues into the late night, and they will be entertained by artists at the forefront of today’s electronic dance music scene.

Numerous artists will be joining him in the lineup. Young Japanese trackmaker banvox will be performing, who has been praised by some of the world’s most famous music producers like Avicii and David Guetta. Masayoshi Iimori will also hit the stage, an artist who continued to receive support from internationally prominent names like Skrillex, Mija and Carnage. As well as these two, Yunomi will make and appearance, who has provided songs for up-and-coming idol group CY8ER and has remixed songs from the likes of Lovely Summer-Chan, Kana Hanazawa, Niji no Conquistador, Antenna Girl and others. SASUKE will also perform, who began dancing at the age of 2, composing songs at 5, learning to DJ from 6, starting finger drumming at 9, and now at the ripe age of 15 has already earned countless awards.

Previously released tracks Kimi ga LINE Kuretara and Gum Gum Girl will also be included, along with world fabrication, a cover of a pre-electronic CAPSULE track originally released in 2005. Creation of the album brought together a number of creative minds who have worked with Kyary Pamyu Paymu over the years, including Steve Nakamura serving as art director, Ken Hanzawa acting as photographer, Kumiko Iijima returning as the singer’s stylist, and Shinji Konishi as Kyary's hair and makeup artist. All of these individuals were with Kyary at the time of her debut, and have returned to encourage her to not only stay connected to her roots, but to move forward without hesitation. The limited edition version will come with a special 64-page flipbook. A number of bonuses have also been announced, from stickers, clear pouches, and mobile stand keychains.
