PERSONZ's concert began with an enthusiastic reception for vocalist JILL's powerful voice and the band's vibrant sound, opening with "I AM THE BEST" from their self-cover album 'RELOAD BEST.' The setlist, featuring 16 songs including tracks like "7 COLORS (Over The Rainbow)" and "BE-HAPPY," captivated fans with timeless appeal.
A particularly memorable moment was the sense of unity during their latest song, "DISCOVER JAPAN 47." When JILL called out "I'm home" from the stage, the audience sang back "Welcome back," symbolizing the long-standing bond between the band and their fans and their collaborative approach to live shows. This new anthem, following in the footsteps of their classic "DEAR FRIENDS," is set to evolve as it's performed in venues across all 47 prefectures.
The band is approaching their extensive 47-venue, 52-show hall tour with the mindset that "every show is like the final one." Their consistent message of "fulfilling dreams" and "having love," which they have sung throughout their career, will now resonate across the entire country.
JILL mentioned that even in places they haven't visited in a long time, fans were eagerly waiting. The tour has been met with excitement everywhere, including a performance in Fukui for the first time in over 30 years and their first-ever show in Shiga. "A journey is music. A journey is life," JILL stated. "The tour title is about discovering something. And about establishing ourselves as a band. It's about the belief that we'll definitely see a better view after this."
After more than 42 years since their formation, the ever-powerful PERSONZ continues their tour across all 47 prefectures. Each song connects with the fans' memories, creating a series of happy moments. The band's iconic songs carry a timeless message that encourages listeners and pushes them forward. The tour continues as this "unchanging band" reloads and performs, culminating in a final show in Okinawa. Fans have the opportunity to experience their powerful and brilliant music live.
