Boy band &TEAM embarks on Asia tour
Japanese boy band &TEAM embarked on their first Asia tour, “2025 &TEAM Concert Tour ‘awaken The Bloodline,’” covering nine cities.
&TEAM started the tour in Aichi, Japan on May 10 and 11.
The concert started with a spectacular production that brought the wild energy of the wolf, the identity of &TEAM, to life.
The concert hall was filled with thunderous cheers as the nine members appeared on stage amid a set modeled after a lunar eclipse, accompanied by wolf howls.
&TEAM opened the concert with “Go in Blind,” the title track from their third single, featuring &TEAM’s signature smooth performance, in which they covered their eyes, oriented their senses, and synchronized their movements.
They also performed “Dropkick,” a performance that started with Maki catching a flying nightball. It was a task that had no room for error.
“I was nervous, but I’m glad I successfully caught it! Lune’s [fandom] wonderful reaction moved me so much.” said member Maki. His passion was palpable throughout the concert hall as he expressed his determination to repeat his success in every future performance.
Next, in “Deer Hunter,” which garnered attention when its performance video ranked in YouTube’s Trending Music, members dressed in chic black suits performed an original dance break as a surprise. The audience erupted in cheers in response to a member’s archery choreography.
Also, on the first day of the Aichi concerts, when asked what part he would like to try, Maki said, “I’d like to try Yuma’s part in ‘Deer Hunter’ where he falls down in front of Fuma.” Then he actually performed the part, and the audience responded enthusiastically to this fresh sight.
In “Big suki,” which drew attention with a performance choreographed by K, the stage shifted to a retro style with the members in hats. They captivated the audience with dynamic choreography that utilized the team's strength, which is that every member is more than capable of being the center of the group.
During the encore, Fuma expressed his gratitude for being able to embark on the much-anticipated Asia tour with Luné, saying, “It’s all thanks to Luné that we’re able to do this Asia tour. Thank you so much!”
Harua said, “We put Luné first and prepared for this tour together with you. I’m delighted to see so many smiling faces tonight. It lets me know all our hard work and practice was worth it.”
K said, “I want to share how grateful I am that I could become one with Luné through my favorite music. I think the group’s solidarity has also become stronger through all our practice. Let’s keep going step by step and create an &TEAM sensation in Asia!”
&TEAM performed a double encore and kept waving at Luné until they finally left the stage.
From Aichi, &TEAM will hold the tour in Tokyo, Bangkok, Fukuoka, Seoul, Jakarta, Taipei, Hyogo, and Hong Kong.
Their third single “Go in Blind” was released on April 23 and achieved two wins on the Oricon Singles Chart: Weekly CD Single and Weekly Combined Single.
The first-week sales became the highest of the year for a male artist (Oricon survey. Rankings for this year started on December 23, 2024), and the total number of units shipped has now exceeded 800,000.
