Given that he had previously released two singles and studio albums prior to the tour, with a third released shortly after its conclusion, Koshi had plenty of material for the many dates of the tour that lasted from mid-July to late August 2004. The setlist changed a great many times during the tour's run and featured only Koshi's solo material with no B'z songs included. Notably, one of the support members responsible for guitar on the tour was Yoshinobu Ohga who would later become a backing guitarist for B'z beginning in 2011.
