AYABIE (彩冷える), who just released major debut single Aitakute (会いたくて) on May 27, held free live and fan meeting at the outdoor main stage in shopping mall Urban Dock Lalaport Toyosu (アーバンドックららぽーと豊洲) to commemorate their single launching. 1,500 fans came fast and furious to see their parformance.

When all five members of AYABIE appeared in the stage set up at the center of the pond, a lot of fans gathered in the hall already have got into a lather. When they played “TheMe” that was released last year, many shoppers and students of school excursion stopped to look at the live by themselves.

And next, they played “Aitakute” that has been just released the day, and its coupling song “master piece” that was unveiled the day enthusiastically. Though they frequently suffered from the machine trouble as the sound of the main speaker was not emitted, they kept fueling the audience by a furious performence.

As the song to play at last, they performed a pico-pico sound disco pop “Digital Neverland (デジタルネバーランド)”. With Aoi’s cute dance, the fans skipped lightly around. It seemed that the mini live was end at that time, but, they returned on the stage to acknowledge the endless cheers of the fans, AYABIE performed “Brownie (ブラウニー)” in addition and hastily-arranged. The member also showed performance with which entertainment overflows like EXILE, and it turned the outdoor stage in the shopping mall in late afternoon into the excitement space like the livehouse.
