The global group &TEAM from Japan held the 'Back to Life' FAN SHOWCASE on November 30 (Sunday) at Roppongi Hills Arena to commemorate their double million achievement in Japan and Korea. They debuted the Japanese version of their title track 'Back to Life' from their first mini-album, which achieved a million sales on its release day. The showcase started with the track 'Lunatic,' featuring a hip-hop beat and lively melody, showcasing a funky performance. The song conveys a bold determination to turn failures into opportunities, and the stage exuded a 'mad' energy from the beginning. Next, they performed 'MISMATCH,' a 90s R&B revival song about the special synergy created by different natures, which drew loud cheers from the audience as soon as the intro played. After the two performances, the members appeared for a talk session led by MC Tsukaji Takemasa from Drunk Dragon. When asked about their feelings returning to Japan after achieving a million in both Japan and Korea, sub-leader FUMA expressed gratitude to their fans, LUNÉ, for their support over the challenging three years. K also shared his honor in receiving the 'Special International Music Award' at the 67th Japan Record Awards, acknowledging the collective effort with LUNÉ in reaching their goals. HARUA reflected on his favorite lyrics from the new song, while MAKI expressed aspirations to perform in Europe and America. Taki shared his joy at ranking on the Billboard charts, feeling their performance reached a global audience. Leader EJ emphasized the support from fans in their journey. FUMA called for continued support as they aim for greater heights. They concluded the showcase with the debut of 'Back to Life (Japanese ver.),' which topped the Oricon daily digital single chart, showcasing their popularity in Japan. &TEAM's 3rd single 'Go in Blind (Tsukikami)' surpassed one million shipments, achieving their first million certification. Their Korean debut on October 28 with 'Back to Life' also achieved a million sales on its release day, making them the first Japanese artist to achieve millions in both Japan and Korea. They have gained recognition in the K-POP fandom and their global listener numbers have doubled post-release. The title track 'Back to Life' has significantly increased its listener counts compared to their previous song in the U.S. Forbes has reported them as one of the most notable groups, marking a significant step towards their 'Japan to Global' goal. Attention is expected on &TEAM as they aim for further success next year.
