Also celebrating its 10th anniversary, part 2 featured the first live performance of music from Wright Flyer Studios' first title "Shometsu Toshi" in over five years. It began with a live reading from Mitsuki Nakae, the voice for Yumiko (Agent) and Taisuke Nishimura, the voice of Geek.           With live music accompanying the live script reading, it really felt like the whole room was setting out on a journey together, and even some tears were shed during the final act.     "Shometsu Toshi" is Wright Flyer Studios' origin story. There wouldn't be a Wright Flyer Studios without it, and this performance with its tapestry of story and music, perfectly embodies the emotional experience they set out to deliver when they first released the game 10 years ago.

Part 3 of the event featured She is Legend, the band featured in Wright Flyer Studios' latest hit title, "Heaven Burns Red." They played songs from the game, and for the first time ever anywhere, they played their latest release "Yamiyono Komachi Vampire" live! Each song brought back memories of some of the most impactful moments from the game bringing the whole room together.           After their set finished, they came back on for two whole encores and even did a photo shoot with fans after.     The She is Legend concert closed out the show, but the audience could definitely feel the energy they were bringing from their currently ongoing first-ever Zepp tour.
