ZUTOMAYO transform Osaka-jo Hall into an Eternal Midnight Expo for the April 29, 2025 performance of their YAKI YAKI YANKEE arena tour. The tour, which began in March and drew 120,000 people, imagines a 1970 exposition on the other side of the sun while Osaka hosts its contemporary world fair. The concert is presented uncut.

The carefully built setting continues the group's interest in fictional places displaced from everyday Japan, from convenience stores and arcades to Showa-era cafes and Chinese-style tearooms. Koji Ishizaka, who narrated at the actual 1970 Expo, supplies narration at the opening, midpoint and conclusion. References to Tower of the Sun designer Taro Okamoto's reflections on solitude and society meet ACAne's onstage remarks, connecting the historical exhibition to the band's own questions about identity and persistence.

The twenty-three-selection programme begins with Make a Fool of Me, It's Not a Lie and Biting the Second Hand, then I Think I'll Disappear in its 1970s version, Mirror Tune, Kangurei, Nareai Serve and Time Left. Shape and It's My Superficial Self lead into Kuzurinen (Affirmation), an improvised Slumber Expedition and Low-Grade Fever Demon. Smoke in the Chest, Hippocampal Growing Pains, MILABO, The Shade's Dust Is an Extension, Study Me, TAIDADA and Darken in its Crack Clock version complete the main set.

The encore follows with Can I Meet You Through Cream?, Those Guys Are All at a Class Reunion and Only Meagre DNA in its Fool version. This regular edition contains the complete 166-minute Osaka concert on one Blu-ray.
