At one point, mgk addressed the crowd, saying, "Konnichiwa, motherf-! We are Machine 🔫 Kelly. I have waited my whole career to perform in front of a crowd like this in Japan. I played here seven years ago, and it was this many people. I'm so honored that you guys came to our set today. This makes me very happy. If it was a representation of my -, it would be very hard right now. Excuse my language, I'm just very excited!" He later joked about wishing his mother had been Japanese, saying, "I love you too, you f- Japanese motherf-. I love you. It's obvious that I wish I was Japanese, okay? All I do is watch anime and try to dress like you guys and do my hair like you guys. You're very... I'm talking too fast, hold on. I think you guys are super f---ing cool, and I wish my mom was Japanese. I wish my mother had - with a Japanese man so that I could be like you." mgk also said, "Thank you mostly for making me look cool in front of my beautiful daughter."

At the end of the performance, mgk described the show as his favorite performance in Japan to date. "This was my favorite show we've ever done in Japan, period. It's gonna be very hard to top, but that just means we gotta come back over and over again. On behalf of me and everybody on this stage, thank you for making this a dream come true. I love you all. Dude, thank you so much, this show really means a lot to us. Dude, thank you. I never expected this many people to come.
