I believe they played "Sunrise Miso-Soup" after "Reiwa Dating Apps Generation", but I was unable to record it due to my iPhone being overheated.

I had planned on recording the whole set because I love this band, this was a momentous occasion for them, and fuck knows when they’ll be back through America again. But things didn’t work out as planned, as I’ll explain:

First off, there are a couple cuts during this video. The first one was because a crowd surfer landed on me and I apparently accidentally hit the stop recording button and didn’t realize I had until halfway through the second song "Reiwa Dating Apps Generation". The second cut is because my iPhone overheated and shut off. This was a longer gap and caused me to miss "Sunrise Miso-Soup" waiting for it to cool down. Which, given that the temperature outside was pushing 90, there was no wind, We were in direct sunlight, and I’m in the middle of a crowd of people, getting it to cool down wasn’t an easy feat. But I got it back on and it worked through the end of the set, thankfully.

Second, bad planning on my part. I had planned to get there at least half hour before their set and hopefully get up to the barricade, or at least one or two people back from it. I didn’t take into account just how long the line to get in would take. So by the time I got to the stage, there were already a lot of people there. I got to the best spot I could without being a dick and pushing through people. I also didn’t want to hold my phone up in the air and block other people’s view either, which is also a dick move to do. I’m 6’1”, so I’m already blocking people by nature. So I tried to keep my phone at my eye level. But, as you see, this meant a good deal of arms and heads in the way.

Regardless, I wanted to put this out there. It was a great set!
