The group TEMPEST has successfully completed their solo concert in Japan.
TEMPEST held their solo concert ‘2024 TEMPEST CONCERT [T-OUR: TEMPEST Voyage] in JAPAN’ on the 14th and 15th in Osaka and Tokyo.
On this day, TEMPEST greeted fans after showcasing their opening performances of their pre-debut Japanese songs ‘Baddest Behavior’, ‘Dragon (飛上)’, and ‘Young & Wild’.
TEMPEST expressed their enthusiasm, saying, “This is our first solo concert in Japan in 1 year and 4 months. Since both iE (official fandom name) and we have been waiting for this, let’s have an amazing time today.”
They continued to perform not only their officially released songs in Japan like ‘BANG!’ and ‘Bubble Gum’, but also covers of songs from the original Japanese idol groups SMAP and ARASHI, as well as a special performance of Backstreet Boys’ ‘Last Christmas’ in celebration of the year-end, receiving great responses.
In particular, TEMPEST showcased their unique arrangements and performances of ‘Eye of the Storm’ and ‘Can’t Stop Shining’, which gained attention on the recent Mnet boy group survival show ‘Road to Kingdom: ACE OF ACE’, along with the Japanese versions of Stray Kids’ ‘MANIAC’ and ‘LIGHTHOUSE’. Member LEW also premiered his self-choreographed performance of ‘Slow Motion’, impressing the audience with a variety of new stages.
Continuing with diverse arrangements and setlists, TEMPEST shared, “We were eager to meet you at the concert, and we are so happy that you enjoyed it so much. I feel like we are taking a lot of energy from today. We will remember this stage and repay you with good music and performances.”
On the 11th, TEMPEST ranked 7th on the Oricon Daily Album Chart with the release of their second mini-album ‘BUBBLE GUM’. After receiving a warm response with their debut mini-album ‘BANG!’ in April, TEMPEST has solidified their global presence with this new release after 8 months.
Meanwhile, TEMPEST plans to continue meeting global fans across Korea, Japan, and beyond.
