"It's been so wild! We missed you so much!" -Taka
The crowd give their hearts out in singing along with Taka especially with “Clock Strikes” as the fans sing in harmony during the bridge and the heartfelt song, “Your Tears are Mine.”
“Masaya ba kayo diyan? Ako din masaya. May tanong ako sa inyo. Ilan sa inyo ang narinig na ang bagong album? Nagustuhan niyo ba ang bagong album? Wow. Thank you. Naibigan niyo ba ang bagong album? Thank you. Mag-enjoy tayong lahat ngayong gabi. Let's have fun tonight, thank you!” -Ryota
