On August 6th, Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 held their special live and handshake event for their new single �Hetappi Wink� at the Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall.

This marked the first time for an AKB48 sub-unit to perform at this venue. The group had two different divisions and held their special live for 6,000 lucky fans that bought their latest single and were chosen randomly via lottery. The live lasted for around 45 minutes and afterwards the members had a conference with the press wearing special yukatas.

The event was the first time this year that the seven members wore yukatas. When asked how they felt about it Watanabe Mayu answered, �It really makes it feel like summer. It�s refreshing and fun to wear yukatas�. Hirajima Natsumi also chimed in, �I want to wear one every year�, and last was Oota Aika, �Usually, I�m all about pink, but this time I decided to wear a red yukata. It feels a little more adult-ish.�

The last time AKB48 performed at the Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall was back in August 2008 and the girls gave their impressions on performing here again after three years, �It really feels like it has been such a long time, so we were full of excitement�. Hirajima smiled, �Three years ago it was raining, but today it didn�t rain and it has been sunny all day�.

The members were also asked where they would like to go this summer. Nakagawa Haruka commented, �I want the seven of us to go camping for three days and two nights. Also, this is my own random plan, but I would also like the seven of us to hang out and cook together so we can all bond�. The comment prompted the press to ask, �Who is the best at cooking?�, to which all of the members replied, �Nacchan (Hirajima)!�. Naturally, they had to follow it up as well, �Who is the worst at cooking?�, to which all members replied again, �Kikuchi (Ayaka)!�, causing the press to laugh. Kikuchi showed a face of disapproval and objected, �Komori (Mika) isn�t good at it either!�. Komori replied, �I want to make unusual foods and I definitely want Harugon (Nakagawa) to eat them.� Nakagawa replied with a bitter smile, �I probably won�t even be able to eat one mouthful�.
