With the audience already heating up as soon as their intro video began playing, the venue was thrust into a spontaneous outbreak of controlled chaos as Babyraids JAPAN kicked off the performance with “Tora Tora Tiger!!”, the fans from many nations united as they danced along with the members on stage. The intensity continued to build with their breakthrough hit “Koyomi no ue wa December” from the NHK drama “Ama-chan”.

Babyraids JAPAN impressed the fans by introducing themselves in French, Rikako Oya receiving a loud “Rikopin” call. Erika Denya caused quite a few hearts to race with her flirtatious line in “Baby Kiss” when she delivered it in one of the most romantic-sounding languages in the world! Manatsu Hayashi, citing that she had been looking forward to coming to France, had even prepared a French song for the event, surprised the audience by singing part of “Poupée de cire, poupée de son”, the international hit by 1965’s Eurovision song contest winner France Gall.
