“I was moved by something I had never felt before.” (Stray Kids)
It was a stage that satisfied both the audience and the artists. At the end of each song, the audience chanted “Moto Mitai” (Motto mitai, I want to see more).
"How long have we waited?" (Day Stay)
“If we can melt the hearts of our fans by singing, we will be more than happy.” (Stray Kids)
Stray Kids visited the Saitama Super Arena in Tokyo, Japan on the 11th and 12th. They held an encore performance for their 2nd world tour 'Maniac' (Stray Kids 2nd World Tour MANIAC).
The live stage for about 4 hours caught the eyes and ears. 'Dispatch' was with the hot scene.
◆ "The tricksters are here"
The Saitama Super Arena is filled with "SKZ". Local fans gathered with various goods. Members' cosplay was also easy to see.
'Dispatch' approached them. When asked how he felt about seeing Stray Kids, a scream (?) burst out. "It's great to see SKZ" (Totemoureshii), he shouted.
“We couldn’t see each other because of the corona, but we finally met. I remember crying because I was happy during the Kobe concert. The members are friendly and kind (to the fans), so I always wanted to meet them. (Miku, Mizuki, Surino)
Mayu and Sayaka emphasized the attractive points of the members. “Stray Kids has a power that no other group in the world has,” he said with a smile.
I couldn't leave out the kindness for the local fans. Nasu and Mori pointed out, "It's good that the members learn the language of the country whenever they go on tour abroad."
Nozomi-san and Riko-san also added, "It's even better because I've been studying Japanese," adding, "I think the reason why they are loved is that they work hard anytime, anywhere."
There was one more thing that many Japanese fans agreed on.
"It's a group that writes and composes lyrics themselves. The performance and dance are amazing and perfect." (Ayano, Aoi, Moe)
◆ "MANIAC, You can't stop"
Before the start of the performance, the clipper made a loud noise in the audience. It wasn't a 'standing concert', but fans got up from their seats and greeted the members as if they were salty.
"Maniac"
A scream erupted from Felix's heavy bass. Stray Kids greeted the cheers of the audience with a strong performance. Despite the difficult choreography, they showed off their unwavering live skills.
The members prostrated themselves on the floor, then stood in a line and moved as if they were one body. A large spider appeared on the stage and overwhelmed the gaze. Tied up in a rope, the dizzying stage continued.
Following 'Maniac', Stray Kids sang 'Spider's Web' and 'Obsession' in succession. The opening alone filled the venue with enthusiasm. The audience was excited without a break.
If the fans' eyes were full of joy, the members' faces were full of emotion.
"I got goose bumps. Stay wanted to shout this in his heart."
Of course, this is the first time Stray Kids has heard the voices of Japanese fans. In the previous performance, in the aftermath of the pandemic, foster support was prohibited.
"Stay, can you tell me one more time?"
The members gathered their hearts again in the cheers of the fans. And they cried out to each other.
"Let's dance and sing even more for such a lovely stay. We!"
◆ "We, the children who find the way"
"Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, I.N" (Stay)
It also broke the prejudice that Japanese audiences are quiet (?). As the lights went out, the audience called their names. The members smiled brightly and went on stage.
"How was the opening stage?" (Felix)
As if cheers and clipper sounds were not enough, the fans showed their satisfaction by slapping their thighs. The members continued to talk affectionately in Japanese.
“We make songs while imagining the performance. I’m even more impressed when it becomes a reality like this.” (Bang Chan)
'EASY' drew admiration for the perfect breathing between the members and fans. A song with fast Korean rap pouring from the beginning. Japanese fans sang along without any problems.
"STOPの?索結果Gaarimasen"<(Even if it burns up and disappears in my dictionary) No search results for STOP found, 'All in' lyrics 中>
The stage that I couldn't take my eyes off of continued. The intense lyrics further inflamed the fans. The members performed 'All In' and 'District 9' among the pillars of fire.
◆ " Is there a reason you like it?"
An indispensable part of Stray Kids performances. band live. He expressed his confidence in live performances as well as his gratitude to the performers.
"In 'sori singer', 'sori' means 'sori' (Otto), and 'kun' means 'master' (Tatsujin). Real singers who are perfect for this have appeared for us!" (Bang Chan)
The sound of Korean traditional music flowed in the center of Japan. At the same time as the start of 'Sori singer', Hyunjin performed a solo dance with the hem of his clothes flying. The stage background reminiscent of ink painting was in harmony.
When Hyunjin knocked on the 'Back Door' stage, the fans stamped their feet and danced together. The beat of the song is up to the fans. I hit it with a clipper in the audience.
'Lonely St.' showed the members' love for fans. He approached the fans while singing with a standing microphone. Everyone was busy putting their hands together.
"Stay!"
The attention of tens of thousands of spectators was focused on one place. A medley of hits such as 'Side Effects', 'Domino', 'New Menu', 'Cheese', and 'YAYAYA' followed.
"Mitai!" (MITAI, I miss you)
As the performance continued, the fans shouted 'more'. Stray Kids answered the call. He dominated the stage with 'The Sound' and 'Case 143'.
◆ "Self-made idol"
As befits an all-rounder group, they snipe their fans even on the unit stage. 'Vocal Line' Bang Chan, Lee Know, Seungmin, and I.N showed perfect harmony with 'Bloom'.
Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, and Felix took over the baton. They were filled with powerful energy with 'Muddy Water'. Her strong abs were exposed through the jacket.
There was no time to get tired. The members are 'Hellevator'. Through 'TOP' and 'Victory Song', the 8 members radiated 8 colors of energy. Fans also responded by singing in unison, without a moment to breathe.
Stray Kids expressed their gratitude with their whole body. She got into the vehicle and approached Stay. They extended fan service by making eye contact with the audience even from afar.
“I can’t believe it” rang out from the audience. They kept waving their fans and compasses. The members worked hard to see even one more member.
'Fairytale', 'Blueprint', 'MIROH', 'FAM', 'Star Lost', 'Haven', etc. .
It wasn't over until it was over. Balloons with members' autographs poured from the ceiling. They also threw it directly for the fans who did not receive it.
The members continued to shout "Good". Even so, I ran to the protruding stage as if regretting it. After a long greeting, I went down the stage.
◆ "STAY, You make SKZ"
“The charm of Stray Kids? What should I say first?” (Day Stay)
Hexagon Idol. It is a unique modifier. Rap, hip-hop, vocals, performance... It is a nickname given because it excels in all fields. This charm, of course, worked everywhere.
"A group that has been winning on the overseas stage has confirmed their entry into Japan" (Offshore, Japan, Japan Daily Sports/ 2019)
In fact, Stray Kids was the first group to be called locally. Prior to the official debut (2020), major Japanese media outlets covered it heavily. (SKZ) responded to the call sexually.
In March 2020, at the same time as their official debut, they took the top spot in Tower Records' '2020 K-pop Japan Sales Top 10'. 'Oricon' Weekly Singles 1st place, Gold Disc Award in the Asian category.
"Everything about Stray Kids is good "
They have established themselves so firmly. On the 22nd, the Japanese full album vol.1 "THE SOUND" is about to be released.
Lastly, the sincerity that the members conveyed during the performance.
“Thanks to everyone’s support, we were able to hold an encore performance in a large venue, and I was happy. I was happy that I could hear Stay’s voice in person.
"It must have been cold, but thank you so much for waiting for a long time. I put all my energy into the performance so that you could be satisfied. It's a great happiness to be able to hear Stay's voice after a long time. Please let me hear (your voice) more in the future. I love you. ."(one)
"It is still clear to me that I met you in the previous concert. And being able to meet you through an encore like this, the days like a dream continue.
“The year 2022 was a year where I received countless love. You call me ‘Sunshine’. In my eyes, Stay is the most shining and special existence. Please take good care of me this year as well. It's an unforgettable moment." (Felix)
"I'm glad to see you again. It was a happy time being together in such a big place. I think it's thanks to the staff's hard work and Stay's support. I won't take (this) for granted. To me, Stay is the only one. Always by our side. Please stay.” (Bang Chan)
"Our lovely STAY, I always think about how to say goodbye to the performance. Unlike when performing, I feel a bit embarrassed like this. But I will gather courage and express my heart. I love you. Today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and forever! I love you. See you again.” (Hyunjin)
"I felt an unprecedented impression. (Here) Not only our songs, but Stay's voice added to create the most beautiful sound. We will work hard to keep this sound. Thank you for making it the best time." (Seungmin)
"Did your heart warm up after watching our performance? Are your feet hurting from waiting outside for a long time and standing while watching the performance? Please leave the health of Stay's body and mind to me. I will forever be your exclusive trainer! Stay, I love you" ( Changbin)
Darkness battle, Stray Kids shouted.
