Appears in robot costume, only moves top half of body

The popular Ayaka Sasaki, a member of the group, had cracked her left shin on the 15th. Her recovery is expected to take three weeks, but that wasn't enough to stop her from making an appearance at the concert.

Sasaki was wheeled out onto stage sitting in a chair in a cart and in her "Ārin Robo" costume. (Ārin is her nickname.) She apologized for making the audience worry and vowed to try her best to heal quickly so she could dance for her fans again. Momoiro Clover Z then performed "Z Densetsu: Owarinaki Kakumei" with secret guest Uta no Prince-sama - Maji Love 1000%. Sasaki then reappeared as Clara, the disabled girl from Heidi, and stood up after being scolded by her costars for not trying hard enough.
