Description:

A short footage filmed with one camera very close to the stage was shown during the interview filmed backstage shortly after the show on a program called Star's 1001 Nights (スター千一夜) on Fuji television. As you can see, the screenshots above come from a very compressed copy of a high-generation VHS, but it's the best copy floating around for now.
