Takarano Arika asked, "It's been a while. Do you remember me?" The audience responded with cheers. Speaking of Anisama, which was her first in nine years, she said, "I remember this atmosphere, and going around to different places during rehearsals reminded me of how it was. It makes me want to come back next year and the year after." Cheers rose from the audience. Takarano Arika responded, "But to do that, we need a tie-up song. I'm asking the anime producers and creators. Please have Alipro write the theme song."
Next, Arika Takano said, "There's one more song from Rozen Maiden," and "I wonder if I should summon someone," and Shouta Aoi and Minori Chihara appeared on stage. They performed a collaboration of "Kinjirareta Asobi," the opening theme of the TV anime "Rozen Maiden."
