Setlist for T-ara Japan Tour 2012 - Budokan from ccmxgmc tumblr:

"Hwayoung wasn't there because of her leg injury and Gangkiz was a special guest at the concert (because they are debuting in Japan later this year). Areum's solo was Jessie J's "Price Tag""

I'm really sad to hear that Hwayoung was unable to perform due to an injury. I hope they have taped performances from other dates that can be used in the DVD that include her since they most likely are going to use today's date for the recording since it's the last day of their tour.
I was initially under the impression that Areum and Dani wouldn't participate in this tour as they weren't around during the making of their Japanese album so I'm a bit disappointed to hear that Areum was there and had a solo. It's not that I don't like her but I don't it's fair that she got to perform with them for their first major tour that's for an album she didn't participate in. Hopefully she was just used for their "Day by Day" performance and for assistance since Hwayoung wasn't present.
As far as Gangkiz, I'm sooo happy to hear that they performed "Honey Honey" and "Mama" as I love those songs. I hope they are accepted better in Japan and I certainly wouldn't mind if they remade those songs although I hope their careers there won't consist mostly of remakes like T-ara's releases thus far.
