Interviewer:

We're going to start off with the B'z LIVE-GYM 2011 -C'mon- Dome Tour. First of all, the set list has been changed in quite a few places for the dome tour, with "BE THERE", "BLOWIN'" and "Itsuka no Merry Christmas" making an appearance. When the intro to "BE THERE" was playing, the crowd went wild, but did you expect such a reaction from the crowd?
Tak:

Their reaction far exceeded our expectations. It was really good.
