Solo artist RYOKI MIYAMA (Ryoki Miyama) held the "RYOKI MIYAMA 2026 Birthday Concert!!!" on Sunday, April 26, 2026, at duo MUSIC EXCHANGE in Shibuya. This performance was held under the theme of a "fresh start from zero" ahead of his first Zepp tour in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka, "RYOKI MIYAMA First Tour 'Back from the coffin.'" starting next month. Approximately 700 fans attended the event, witnessing a stage that demonstrated his new resolve as a solo artist.
The heat in the venue rose instantly as the beats of "I'M THE KING," a high-speed rap exceeding 170 BPM, echoed through the darkened hall. With sharp dance moves, he drew the audience in, performing "BOOOM" and "H.S.J." in succession, energizing the crowd with high-density performances from the start.
During the MC segment, he jokingly said, "Honestly, I was worried what I would do if only two rows of seats were filled," while expressing his deep gratitude to the fans: "Thank you so much for coming. I wouldn't exist without all of you. Because you are here, I can stand here. So, thank you for being born." He further expressed his future ambitions, stating, "From now on, I will aim for the world and compete with my music."
In the middle of the set, he performed covers of domestic and international songs such as "Kabutomushi," "Just the Way You Are," and "Shun-ka-shu-to," showcasing his musicality that transcends genres despite his hip-hop roots. This was followed by his latest song released on April 24, "Stay Right Here," where he captivated the audience with vocals and rap set to an R&B sound. Dancers joined the stage, further elevating the excitement.
Later, he delivered a powerful performance of "We'd Rather Hit By The Walls" and expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming tour. In the final number "DOUBLE UP," the heat reached its peak. He addressed the crowd, "I believe everyone gathered here today is part of creating my new phase together. Let's go to the Super Bowl. If we're doing this, we have to go that far!" clearly stating his vision for global success. After rushing through a total of 10 songs, the venue was filled with great excitement.
Regarding this performance, RYOKI MIYAMA commented:
"I needed a place where I could embody my ideal expression by my own will, not by someone else's instructions. To be an artist, an actor, and a performer—shouldering all those roles and taking full responsibility myself. That is the 'way of life' I have chosen now. And what I am looking at is a place where no Asian has ever reached. Music, film, and stage. They are not separate but connected as a single line within me as a performer. Through all these stages, I will continue to prove who RYOKI MIYAMA is through my own performance this year."
This concert was not just a birthday live but an opportunity to leave a strong impression of solo artist RYOKI MIYAMA's full-scale launch. In addition to the first Zepp tour starting in May 2026, he is also scheduled to appear in the lead role of the musical "Crash Landing on You" in July and the film "Kingdom: Decisive Battle of the Souls," with further success highly anticipated.
