Thank you for watching over us ever since [‘Girls Planet 999′] and we will become a group that never disappoints you and that you can be proud of.” Mashiro added, “Thank you to the staff who are always working on our behalf, and our hair and makeup team who made us look pretty.” Mashiro and Xiaoting also said their thanks in Japanese and Mandarin.
