ENDRECHERI also has a planned performance at the same venue on Tuesday, but the project's official website will announce any possible rescheduling of the performance at a later date.
Sukima Switch has performed theme songs for Tokyo Marble Chocolate, The Beast Player Erin, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Space Brothers, Naruto Shippūden, Silver Spoon, and All Out!!. Dōmoto has acted in the live-action Gintama film as Shinsuke Takasugi, and KinKi Kids has performed theme songs for Chibi Maruko-chan and Time Bokan: The Villains Strike Back.
