■8/12 Spokane, WA Bing Crosby Theater

16日目は、ワシントン州スポケーン・Bing Crosby Theater。歌手・俳優として有名なビング・クロスビーが常連出演者だったことを受け名前を冠したこの会場は、1914年に映画館として建設された歴史ある建造物。先住民族の言葉で“太陽の子供”を意味するという、自然も豊かな都市スポケーンでのお給仕も初開催となった。

4日目となるStarcrawlerのオープニングアクトはこの日が最終日。短い時間ながらも、終始パワフルな演奏とMCで客席を盛り上げた。ホールならではの広めの舞台を活かし、縦横無尽にステージを動き回るBAND-MAID。小鳩ミクのリードボーカル曲はポートランド公演に続き「TIME」を披露。この日のセットリストでは新たに「Mirage」を投下するなど、お給仕毎に異なる練り上げられたセットリストで、この日も多くのご主人様・お嬢様を魅了した。

The tour's 16th performance was at the Bing Crosby Theater in Spokane, Washington. The historic building, opened in 1914 as a movie theater, was later renamed in honor of singer and actor Bing Crosby, who had often performed there. This was the first OKYUJI to be held amid the natural beauty of the city of Spokane, whose name comes from the Native American people that lived there and were called the "children of the sun.

" After supporting BAND-MAID for four performances in a row, this was Starcrawler's last night serving as opening act. In the short time they spent touring together, the band always enlivened the house with their powerful stage talk and performances. Making full use of the theater's expansive stage, BAND-MAID strode all around the house during their show. Like in Portland the night before, MIKU was featured as lead vocalist on "TIME". A set list full of variety and surprises, including the new addition "Mirage", charmed all the masters and princesses in attendance.
