This tour is notable for its setlist keeping in tradition with other showcases and including scarcely-performed and obscure songs. These include '''[[IN THE LIFE|Crazy Rendezvous]]''' and '''[[RISKY|VAMPIRE WOMAN]]'''—two songs not performed for seventeen and eighteen years, respectively.
As is usual with the showcase shows, B'z played a number of older and more obscure songs. One of these, '''[[IN THE LIFE|Soredemo Kimi ni wa Modorenai]]''', and despite being released on '''IN THE LIFE''' back in 1991, had never been played live prior to this show.
 
Along with the band's appearance at '''[[SUMMER SONIC#2009|SUMMER SONIC 2009]]''', these were the only shows B'z performed in 2009.

All shows featured the same setlist. It is worth noting that '''[[MY LONELY TOWN]]''' had not yet been announced and was played as a surprise, causing fans to speculate on the true title before eventually settling on the one that would later be proven correct.
