Japanese girl group Phantom Siita said they are excited to meet their Filipino fans when they perform for the first time in the Philippines in January.
Phantom Siita (ファントムシータ) will hold their first world tour “Moth to a flame” in Manila on Jan. 18 at Samsung Hall at SM Aura in Taguig, which is being promoted by AEG Presents Asia and Ovation Productions.
Japanese superstar Ado produced Phantom Siita composed of Mona, Miu, Rinka, Hisui, and Moka.
In an interview with Manila Bulletin, Phantom Siita said they are excited to hold their first world tour and also meet their fans.
“I was surprised to hear that we were going on the world tour and that also got me nervous. But being able to go see all the Haines who have been supporting us through the computer screen is such a great opportunity so we promise to put out our best performance and show our appreciation. We hope to grow further since our Budokan show,” said member Mona.

Miu said the title of the world tour “Moth to a flame” came “from a Japanese proverb '飛んで火にいる夏の虫' which reflects the idea that, even knowing of the potential risks, fans are still drawn to Phantom Siita, like moths to a flame.”
“It also expresses us who are about to embark on the world tour less than a year since the debut. It may be risky, like jumping into a flame. We are heretic in that way but fans who love us are also heretic like us. That’s the meaning behind this title,” she added.
Since this is their first world tour, Mona said it will be different.
“I think you can say that our shows are kind of theatrical. We dominate and take over the song as we really get into our performance. So we hope to bring you deep into the world of Phantom Siita with us and immerse the entire venue with our colors. I hope you let your guard down and dive in,” she explained.
They are also honored to work with Ado.
“Getting direction and advice from someone who I’ve been admiring through TV and YouTube is still mind blowing to me but I think I am learning so much about my expression and vocal skills through many of her advice,” said Rinka.
Miu said they are excited for their first visit and performance in the Philippines.
“We are so excited for our first world tour and our first visit to the Philippines. We have received many comments from our fans in the Philippines so I’m happy that we are able to perform live for you all,” she said.
Phantom Siita can’t wait to meet their Filipino fans.
“I am as excited and nervous for our first ever world tour! To all the Haines watching us, we are coming to perform live for you and I can’t wait!! All: Please come see us at our Manila show!” said Mona.
