Live photo of the idol group ASP on stage, in the middle of performing a song. The stage is brightly lit with red and blue lights. They have their right arms raised while singing. The members are dressed in leather(-like) clothing, giving the idea that it is inspired by motor clothing. The clothing is mostly black but differently decorated, with red and blue stripes, white stars in different sizes, and other symbols or words. Some of them are fully dressed like that, while others have extra additions, like a tartan-style skirt. Photography by JJ Grant (wonderlens)
