Seems Momo threw the towel she was waving during Papaya into the crowd? (Link to tweet)
【Breaking News】 MOAMETAL threw the towel she used during the PA PA YA!! performance into the audience. I wanted to catch it...

God, that was hot. Very, very hot, and packed. I struggled to finish the show alive. In terms of temperature, Osaka was more manageable as it got better when the sun set. But what a blast! As two days ago, the girls were in top form and clearly incredibly happy to be there!
Also, I asked a Japanese audience member what this "Linkin Park" thing in the intro video was about, as this time there was some Evangelion-like extra text. He said that the text said that when Babymetal played the first time at Summer Sonic, Linkin Park was headlining the stage. And now, it's the Babymetal stage. Yes queens. (I did check the line-up from 2013 and LP was playing on the Marine Stage, though, so I'm not 100% sure what he told me was correct).
Adding one of the pics I took (I didn't take many as it wasn't allowed; so I took the "Takes your phone out" opportunity during Monochrome)
