FRUITS ZIPPER's Noel Hayase held her first solo concert, "Noel Hayase 1st solo Live 'Head above Clouds'," at Zepp DiverCity (TOKYO) on Tuesday, April 7th. She captivated the packed audience with her soulful singing.
Noel Hayase, originally from Germany, is active as the youngest member of FRUITS ZIPPER. She had been blossoming as a singer, notably releasing "Platonic ni ne" in collaboration with Vocaloid producer Abaraya on NTV's "Ubuge" last year. This solo live concert was a challenging performance for Noel Hayase, as she approached it as a singer, not merely an idol.
The title of this performance, "Head above Clouds," is derived from the phrase "Head in the Clouds," which means dreamy or escapist, but was named with the intention of emphasizing keeping one's feet on the ground despite that. Tickets were sold out in advance, and approximately 2,200 fans flocked to the venue to witness a new side of Hayase.
As music mixed with noise flowed through the venue and Hayase's voice announced the live title, a brisk band sound echoed. Yellow penlights, Hayase's member color, began to shine from the audience seats. When the curtain fell, Hayase appeared with band members behind her, wearing a rock-inspired outfit mixing white and silver, playing an electric guitar. Welcomed by a huge ovation, her memorable first solo live concert began. After the exhilarating guitar sound concluded, amidst applause, she performed Mika Nakashima's "GLAMOROUS SKY" and Avril Lavigne's "Sk8ter Boi." The venue was heated up early in the show.
During the MC, a complete turnaround from her cool appearance earlier, she greeted the audience with a playful smile, saying, "I'm super nervous, but you guys knew it, right?" After showing such a cute side, she performed her new song "Flapper Girl," a lively pop tune that further energized the live. Furthermore, she performed the long-awaited "Platonic ni ne (feat. Abaraya)" – her first performance of the song since "#Niconico Chokaigi 2025" – stirring up the audience.
Subsequently, she captivated the audience's hearts by soulfully singing "JANE DOE (Kenshi Yonezu, Hikaru Utada cover)," "Yasashiku LAST SMILE (Zutomayo cover)," and "Saturn (Zutomayo cover)," moving into the second half of the live. Just when it seemed she powerfully sang "Past die Future" by ano, whom she openly admires, she showcased a glamorous singing voice in "Killer Tune (Tokyo Jihen cover)." While enchanting fans with her diverse vocal talents, she hyped up the audience by shouting, "Can you guys get more excited?!" further raising the venue's temperature. After performing numerous cover songs, she finally held a megaphone-shaped microphone.
