Pop-rock trio�GIRL NEXT DOOR completed their live tour "GIRL NEXT DOOR "LIVE DESTINATION"" on May 6th at Tokyo's�Akasaka Blitz. Vocalist Chisa passionately sang 19 songs, including an encore, for a 1,400+ audience.

For the first half of the performance, Chisa wore a black-and-white zippered dress and black shorts while singing several songs, including "Freedom" and "fallin'angel". She changed into a cute pink sleeveless dress and feather boa for the second half, and pumped up the crowd with a rendition of "Infinity". For the encore she wore a gray tour shirt with bright pink pants, and sung "Guuzen no kakuritsu" and "Arigatou" amongst other songs.

The vocalist expressed her gratitude for the fans by saying, "I created "Arigatou" after our first tour last year, because I wanted to create a song that would stay with the audience,". "I will always remember this song as the first recording we made for our latest album." During the final MC portion of the concert, she divided the audience into two groups to take pictures with them, developing a connection with the audience for the final show.

The tour began on May 3rd with shows in Osaka and Nagoya. The shows centered around tracks from their latest album, "Destination", which went on sale April 27th. Fans could vote on additional songs for the tour through a fan-club survey.

GIRL NEXT DOOR was formed when Chisa, a dancer from the Kansai area, met Suzuki Daisuke (keyboard) at Avex Artist Academy.�With the addition of guitarist Inoue Yuji, the group debuted in September 2008 with "Guuzen no kakuritsu". The song hit #3 on the charts, and four months after their debut, the group was able to perform at NHK's annual Kouhaku Uta Gassen. They've been gaining popularity ever since.
