After the lights turned down, the hall was filled with green penlights (green is the theme color of Haruna Luna). Of course, the opening song of the live was “Prologue ～LUNARIUM～.” Haruna Luna appeared on the stage with the mermaid-like costume which was a remake item of the album’s main visual and sang “Stella Breeze.”

After saying hello, she sang “MONSTER,” “Junshin Crisis” and “Ripple Effect” with the four dancers.

Then, she gave a dance lecture to the fans. She practiced the choreography of the collaborative song with Rika Mayama of Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku “PURPLE LOVE” with the fans in a cute manner.

After that, the middle section of the live started. She performed two strings arranged ballads “REASON” and “Aikotoba.” After singing the two ballads, she performed a full-fledged famous song “Startear” and the fans listened to her song quietly. Then, the fans started to waive their rainbow colored psylliums which was a surprise event for Haruna Luna and she responded to the fans by singing beautiful songs.

After this, Haruna Luna disappeared from the stage for a moment and the band started to play an instrumental tune. After the musicians performed their solos, Haruna Luna wearing a new costume (green and white gingham patterned costume) made for the new single “KIRAMEKI☆Life Line” appeared on the stage while singing the song included in her second album “Minna Zettai Kimi ga Suki.”

At the MC section of the live, she explained about her new costume. Some fans said “please turn around!” and the venue was filled with laughter. She also talked about the animation “URAHARA” which she participates as a voice actress in and performed the new single “KIRAMEKI☆Life Line” for the first time.

The song is used as the ending theme song and it has a high-quality tune with the sounds of a jazzy horn section, rock guitar and digital sequence mixed together. She performed her new pop song with a strong voice.

In the latter part of the live, she performed “Candy Lips,” “Sayonara Moratorium,” “Koi no Kigen ha 3nen, Ai no Kigen ha Nannen?” from her 2^nd album and “NAKED HEART,” “Kyoso Refrain” erotically with the renditions of lights and laser beams.

After saying “Here’s the last three songs!” with the beat of a twin drum, she performed “Dunamic Dreamers,” “Kimiiro Signal” and “Aio Utae” which are standard tunes at her lives.

She appeared on the stage wearing a t-shirt and white frilled skirt after receiving an encore and sang “Clumsydays” passionately. After introducing the live goods frankly, she announced that she will hold a Christmas event for the new fan club “L-67 Runaju☆Station” which was renewed this summer, on the 16^th of December. The dancers appeared from the audience seats and cheered up the fans while Haruna Runa was singing “Koi no Senshi.” At the very last part of the live, she appreciated the fans saying “I am very happy that I can deliver my feelings to everyone through music. Let’s see many sceneries together!” and sang the very popular single “Overfly.”

 “Fly Me to the Moon” written by Shinnosuke(ex. SOUL’d OUT) has a sparkling 80’s sound and is an impressive cute pop song.

In the lyric music video just released, “Fly Me to the Moon” the title is corrected to “Fly Me to Hawaii”!? The message is not “fly me to the moon” but rather “fly me to Hawaii.” In April of this year, Haruna Luna went to Hawaii to perform in the event titled “Kawaii Kon” and at this time a photo session was held in Hawaii so as to take photos to include in the CD first edition photo book.

During her mini live, she greeted the audience with a 大家好 (Dàjiā hǎo), which is a Cantonese greeting meaning “Hello everyone”. She then continued to say in Japanese “This marks my 3^rd visit to Hong Kong. At every performance here, I have been greeted by warmth and friendliness, which makes me very happy! She then exclaimed “Please come see me tomorrow at Music Zone!” in English. Her mix of 3 languages drove the audience wild with excitement!

The following day (Saturday 30^th) was the day she took to the stage at “Music Zone @ E-MAX”, which was held inside the KITEC Kowloonbay International Trade & Exhibition Centre.
