Thank you so very much! Let's walk together with STU48 in our 10th year as well!" They performed songs released by various 48 groups during their respective 9th-anniversary periods, such as "Bokutachi wa Tatakawanai" (AKB48) and "Hatsukoi Shijo Shugi" (NMB48) in rapid succession, and also performed STU48's latest single, "Sukisugite Naku," which marks their own 9th anniversary. Fitting for the title "THE 48 SHOW," the setlist was composed to make one feel the history of the 48 groups up to now.
