The 7-member idol group AsIs (AsIs), whose concept is "We will not deny what you love," held their 2nd anniversary solo live performance, "AsIs 2nd YEAR ANNIVERSARY LIVE -Start line-," at Ebisu The Garden Hall on Sunday, March 29, 2026.
Two years since their formation in 2024. This performance, a culmination of their activities so far and literally the "Start line" for their third year, filled the largest venue in the group's history with the fans' fervor even before doors opened, becoming a night where their journey and future expectations intersected.
Exciting Performances Showcasing Overwhelming Skill and Direction
The live performance opened with an impressive drum solo by Himeko Kitagawa. Demonstrating a high level of musicality that transcends the idol genre, the 7 members, clad in the outfits they had worn for numerous stages since the tour final, appeared. They kicked off with "NO FILTER." and delivered a furious performance of "Zetsubou Uta," "Braver!," and "Arinomama no Sugata," immediately bringing the venue's excitement to its peak.
During MC, captain Mizuki Momoi declared loudly, "We are incredibly pumped up, so we want to deliver the best performance to everyone who chose to come here today!" The song "Suki Dake Suki de Iru," which began with Kana Yamashiro introducing it, featured a novel performance using notebooks, chairs, and umbrellas instead of microphones, captivating the audience.
Following this, "Haikei, Kako no Jibun," "Ato, 1 Senchi no Honne," and "Otona no Seishun" created a sense of unity in the venue with waves of towels and penlights. During the photo-friendly song "Boku wa Kizuiteta," a surprise of throwing signed balls into the audience elicited even louder cheers. Connecting this to the popular song "Tokubetsu Adorable," strong calls erupted from the fans, and the live performance's momentum rapidly accelerated.
The latter half of the show challenged a stoic composition focused solely on performance, deliberately excluding visual effects. After powerfully linking "Tejou wo Kowase!," "Itsuka no Bokura no Koe ni Kotaete," and "Noise wo Damase ro," they performed "Black Swan," inspired by a swan descending onto water with a special intro, and "Kimi no Suki wo Nigatyanai," the group's symbolic song first performed at their 1st anniversary. In "outline.," they mesmerized with synchronized choreography perfectly matching the MV shown on the back screen. They continued with "Tsuwabuki" and "be yourself," showcasing their continued evolution towards their third year.
"Determination for the Third Year" and a Moving Encore
During the encore, a documentary video of their intensive training camp for this performance was shown, conveying moments of struggle and growth as each member confronted themselves and the group head-on. Afterward, the seven members reappeared on stage, dressed in majestic new white-based costumes, and powerfully sang the new song "Start line."
Yuzora Hoshino spoke directly to the fans, saying, "Please continue to be by our side. We ask for your continued support as we stand at a new starting line." With that passionate sentiment, they transitioned into "Ai wo Sakebu." Enthusiastic calls, as if responding to Hoshino's words, echoed throughout the venue.
The finale was "We are IDOL." Expressing gratitude for the fans' support and a strong resolve to share the same scenery and emotions in their third year, they concluded the 2nd anniversary concert.
2nd TOUR Decided! Finale at Zepp DiverCity with Full Band Performance
After the show, a surprise video played on the stage screen, announcing the long-awaited "AsIs 2nd TOUR 2026." The tour will visit a total of 6 cities, including Fukuoka, Nagoya, Osaka, Hokkaido, and the group's first concert in Taiwan. When it was announced that the tour finale would be a full band performance at Zepp DiverCity (TOKYO), the venue erupted in its greatest joy of the day.
Please continue to look forward to the "story of their third year" that AsIs will paint as they accelerate towards new heights after their second anniversary.
