This live show was highly praised as the best ever.
Last weekend, the annual Christmas live concert "Momoiro Christmas 2025 -ODYSSEY-" was held over two days at Saitama Super Arena and was met with great acclaim. DAY1 sold out early. For DAY2, around 300 tickets remained on the day of the show, but perhaps due to the strong reputation of DAY1, all tickets were sold by showtime. Both days ended up completely sold out, with a total attendance of approximately 37,000 people.
Since last year, the Christmas live has had a new director, and the content had sparked mixed reactions.
However, judging from social media, almost all Mononofus are praising this year's production. After the concert ended, it was revealed that the director chosen for this year was AMI Sato, a female video director affiliated with a Stardust-related company.
Although this was her first time being involved with MCZ, many Mononofus commented that the structure showed a deep understanding of fans'feelings and needs, and it was clear that the content had been carefully constructed based on thorough research into MCZ.
In particular, the way the OVERTURE was introduced toward the end of the live, and the transition from there into the killer tune "ikuze! KaitoShoujo", was an unprecedented production unlike anything seen in the hundreds of live shows so far, and it deeply moved many audience members.
There were also many other highlights, such as the simple yet effective use of stage sets, and the way DMB (Downtown Momoclo Band) was incorporated in connection with the story of the production.
It is likely that a video release will come out next year, so it is definitely something to look forward to. It has also been announced that the show will be broadcast in Japan on WOWOW (BS broadcasting) in February.
As usual, below are the officially announced setlists for both days, along with automatic translation links to the official reports from various media.
