June 7, 1998 @Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall

June 7, 1998 @Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall was a Fishmans concert performed at Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall. Event titled 闘魂 '98 (romaji: Tokon '98, English: Fighting Spirit '98), performed alongside Buffalo Daughter. The concert received two pages of discussion in the band's fanzine, Pool Volume 19. The concert's version of それはただの気分さ would later appear as track 4 on Disc 3 of History of Fishmans. Some sped-up footage of an unknown song during the show would also be used in the music video for "Just Thing".

This would be the final concert Fishmans would perform before 8月の現状 was released on August 19, 1998. The photos for the album's alternate vinyl artwork were taken the same day, in a 10 minute gap before the performances started.
