The album may have been delayed to get a better date with less competition from other groups' releases, or to accommodate the tour, or to give time to make the album better. Or something.
That size of hall looks pretty intense. Might a performer feel intimidated? Or might the audience seem distant?

That being said, isn't this exactly the size of hall (5000) that Keyakizaka46 performed in in March, 2016, in their first big concert, just before the release of SaiMajo? (Yes it is. Debut Countdown Live. I just watched a bit of it. What a great show. And a revelation, at the time.)
Hiragana will be doing it eight times over a month, as they incorporate the 2gens fully and become a full-size group. I picture them creating show every night, working to draw the audience along with them emotionally. And succeeding.
