“Are you ready to get soaking wet?”
Yasumori Waka said to the audience, who burst into cheers. The performance of ‘Winter no Age-age Bacorn!’ began, and as the chorus approached, Date Kaaya sprinted towards the menacing object placed at the front of the stage – the newly introduced Gatling-style water pistol. In an instant, Kaaya pulled the trigger of the water gun and the sunlit barrel roared to life, drenching the audience with an overwhelming stream of water.
Sakura Hinano and Yasumori Waka, each manning their own water cannon, meticulously soaked every inch of the crowd. The chaos had begun and the crowd’s excitement reached its first peak. As the live show continued, the venue was transformed into a festive water wonderland, leaving everyone delightfully drenched.

“I, Run-chan, have tried to express all my emotions in words as best as I can. But members of MADE IN TOHOKU have given me many feelings that cannot be put into words. It’s incredible, you know… Originally, I always wanted to look cute in front of others, and I couldn’t believe I’d end up this soaked and messy. But with MADE IN TOHOKU, all those worries fade away, and it’s fun. And the fact that I can feel this way is all thanks to MADE IN TOHOKU. Even in this messy state, I’m having a blast. Thanks you girls so much for being a part of my life!”– RITSUKI Hikaru(Run-chan, magical girl)

Thank you for bringing us so much happiness, and let’s continue this journey together!” — TACHIBANA Karen (Karen-kun, leader of MADE IN TOHOKU)
