The livestream on April 11 2014 is hosted by Etou, Sasaoka, Masubuchi and Takemoto. The key points of discussion include various collaboration news, appearance in different events, and other house-cleaning matters across the Taiko scene. This time Takemoto also live-tweets the goings of show along the broadcast.

The show starts with the Free Talk Time section, where the audience can leave comments or questions to interact with the team.

Next the team moves to a section talking about the long-running 2000 series. Expect a new 2000 song some time in the future, the team leaks.
