In the opening, Dr.Handa appeared in silver kimono and greeted the audience. He explained that he prepared simultaneous interpretation devices for 2000 audience so that David Foster could enjoy interacting with them.
He sang "Soshunfu"(Ode to early morning), "Mazinger Z," "Hyokkori Hyotanjima"(Hyokkori gourd-shaped island), "Autumn Leaves,","Moon RIver," "Tennessee Waltz," "Mona Lisa" and "Some Enchanted Evening."
After he finished his performance, four blue lights illuminated the audience when David Foster took the stage and sat on a piano stool.
Foster said, "God evening, Tokyo! I'm so happy to be here. My job is to make you happy."
