The 'Green Light' project is the largest endeavor for Yanaginagi since transitioning to her second phase of activity. The concept, 'A story illuminating the truth through mysterious dreams,' combines three elements: an original album, a game, and a one-man live tour, offering a new experience where music and narrative intersect. The album and game were released simultaneously on February 28, and the live tour began in Aichi on April 4, followed by Osaka and Taipei, leading to the final Japanese performance in Tokyo on April 25 at Hulic Hall Tokyo.
As the project title suggests, 'color production' was a key element of the tour. Before the show, the game character 'Konagi' appeared on the screen, encouraging the audience to use penlights to illuminate the theme color for each song. When the main show started, 'Konagi' appeared again showing green, followed by Yanaginagi in a white dress. After the game's opening sequence was projected, she began with 'Green Light,' the album's opening track. Reflecting the game integration, the album had a higher proportion of electronic sounds than her usual work, but this performance emphasized the power of a live band while maintaining the original vibe. The verses were minimal, but the vocals expanded the world with power from there. 'Konagi' reappeared after the song to navigate to the next track.
The setlist followed the album's track order, a crucial point for both the conceptual storytelling and expressing the game's progression live. Notably, the main performance proceeded without any MC breaks until the final song, emphasizing an artwork-centric style.
During the fifth song, 'Hanaemi,' the live-specific features were evident: a rhythmic mid-tempo, distinct bass lines, bouncing snare drums, and chiptune sounds paired with gentle vocals. A pixel-art lyric video and orange lighting enhanced the visual experience. After passing the album's halfway point, the set transitioned to her single tracks and tie-up songs, framed as 'dreams' based on the game system. This included 'Sparkle' from the children's show 'Synapusyu,' 'Natsu no Sumika' (Summer Dwelling) from the anime 'Turkey!', and the first performance of 'World is Mine CPK! Remix' released in January. This club music arrangement featured coquettish vocals that captivated the audience, adding a new chapter to her collaboration with ryo (supercell).
Returning to 'Green Light,' songs like 'We don't know,' with its bluesy guitar, and 'hearts in the air' showcased her vibrant vocals. In 'Kanshu,' she displayed fantastic vocal work with continuous long tones. Before the final album track 'Futari no Viridian' (Viridian for Two), she briefly added, 'I hope you can remember today when you hear this song someday.' The song began with minimal sound and expanded with powerful drums and deep expression to close the main set.
For the encore, she appeared with a green penlight, encouraging the audience to stand for 'Thankful,' the ending theme of the anime 'Egao no Taenai Shokuba desu.' (The Workplace Where Smiles Never Cease), sung with bright high tones. During the MC, she expressed gratitude to fans who played the 'Green Light' game, noting the great response even in the recent Taipei concert. She then performed 'Melt CPK! Remix,' which was announced alongside the earlier 'World is Mine' remix, energizing the venue with its unique rhythm. The finale was the familiar 'You can count o...'
