Dancer #1 picking Miwa up off the stage floor -- after that previous set of hard dancing (featuring the "sexy Miwa" set), she didn't seem too genki at that moment

Pregnant pause in the song & music
Fireworks start! This band had the pull (and budget) to set up 5 outdoor fireworks venues across the nation July-Sept, 1995. DCT wasn't on my radar in 1995, unfortunately, but I do remember seeing the fireworks go off over the bay and wondering what the heck was the event.
Back shot of Masa, Miwa and fireworks
Miwa & Masa watch.
Masa gets pretty emotional...
... with a caring embrace
This is the 7th or 8th time they've done this for this tour, but they still seem sincere here
Miwa moves back from Masa, savors the moment. My favorite image of her -- she's turned 30, in the middle of a massively successful year, on a multi-million dollar national tour, doing the last song of the set, and at the absolute top of her art. Talent + preparation + opportunity + execution + reward, all in a single jpeg.
After a brief pause, Miwa finally starts singing again, band comes back in to join
Later Miwa moves over to Nishikawa
Sings "These days, are you too, somewhere, living through the falling seasons" to Nishikawa. None of my business, but one must wonder if they had something going when Miwa first came down from Hokkaido to Tokyo in the mid 80's.
Nishikawa pats Miwa on the head, smiles
Miwa walks off as song ending winds up
One last ending for Miwa...
...and "ey!" of the concert proper
Closing shot of stage from rear of the audience... 50,000 people. With only 10 dates, I think the money went into the event and at best the band broke-even for themselves on this tour.
