The leg ran from April 13, 2016, until May 12, 2016. On February 23, 2016, Popspring 2016 announced the group as a headliner of the festival in Chiba, Kobe, and Nagoya. The second leg took place across Europe. The leg ran from May 23, 2016, until June 26, 2016. Us The Duo stayed on the road, in addition to Erato who opened in just Birmingham and London. On April 2, 2016, Summer Sonic Festival announced the group as a headliner of the festival in Chiba and Osaka. The third leg took place across Oceania. The leg ran from September 3, 2016, until September 10, 2016. The fourth leg took place across Asia. The leg ran from September 13, 2016, until September 27, 2016.

The leg ran from October 17, 2016, until November 22, 2016. Continuing the tour, the group announced a number of special performances for the summer of 2017.
