Outline

This show is one-night stand which Shina Ringo performed at Kaho theater in Iizuka-shi in Fukuoka like her hometown Fukuoka-shi.The ticket was sold by a lottery, and was sold out in spite of being as expensive as 10,000 yen.It was before she went into a maternity leave, and it was the heyday of Shiina Ringo in popularity.As a result, her fans who were not able to purchase a ticket made a bid for it with the several times as high price as the regular price at auction etc.However, Kaho Gekijou built in Japanese traditional architecture is different from a normal concert hall and can accommodate only 1,000.Thus the Toshiba EMI broadcasted this live in streaming on Web for her fans who had no ticket or were not able to go to Fukuoka since they lived in other districts.The instantaneous number of the simultaneous access to the streaming reached 17,300, and it established Japan record then.She invited the fans who lost the lottery of the ticket and let them play an extra and photographed PV of "Yattsuke Shigoto" on July 28 when the band members had a dress rehearsal before the public performance.Since this sound source is using the recording the performance at Shibuya Public Hall on April 28, 2000 in "Gekokujou Xstasy" tour, the rhythm changes at the last so that it may follow next song "Benkai Debussy."

Shiina Ringo ordered all the guests to wear clothes red as possible on that day.About this, she said that while a vocalist of a rock band said, "Wear black dress in tomorrow's live", when a vocalist alone wore different clothes, she thought that was funny.

About the scenic design and the stage effects, she aimed at the Japanese style and used the shoji etc.Also about the theatrical costumes, all members of the band "Gyakutai Glycogene" also wore the yukata with Shina Ringo.She crucified the mannequin which wore the dress like the bandage which she had worn in the former nationwide tour "Gekokujou Xstasy" on the stage.This Japanese-style idea is inherited in the later nationwide tour "Sugoroku Ecstasy" which was recorded on DVD "Electric Mole".The photograph of this day is exhibited in HP of Kaho Gekijou.
