NiziU's tour 'NiziU Live with U 2025 “NEW EMOTION: Face To Face”' reached its finale at the performances held on November 22 (Saturday) and 23 (Sunday) at Tokyo's Nippon Budokan. This was their fourth tour, 'NiziU Live with U 2025 “NEW EMOTION: Face To Face”', and their first hall tour. It became the tour with the most performances in NiziU's history, covering 21 cities and 23 venues with 32 performances. The tour began on September 6 (Saturday) at the Tokyo Fuchu Forest Art Theater and traveled across various regions including Miyagi, Aomori, Iwate, Tochigi, Shizuoka, Shiga, Nagano, Ishikawa, Oita, Kumamoto, Kagoshima, Tokyo (Hachioji), Saitama, Hiroshima, Mie, Hyogo, Gunma, Kyoto, Kagawa, Tottori, and Okayama, culminating in the final performance at Nippon Budokan. As mentioned, being their first hall tour, ticket pre-orders saw an overwhelming response, and general ticket sales sold out immediately, showcasing their immense popularity. The opening movie, embodying the 'NEW EMOTION' theme, showcased various expressions of the members. The performance began with Mako calling out each member's name, leading to a spotlight on Miihi, starting with the medium ballad 'Blue Moon' released in 2022. The unexpected start with a ballad pleasantly surprised the audience, followed by the second song 'Raindrops' from their 2nd album 'COCONUT', captivating the audience with its gentle and soft atmosphere, showcasing their vocal abilities and harmony. They then performed a dance from the trailer of their newly released 3rd album 'New Emotion', which had garnered attention, leading to a breathtaking moment for fans. They introduced contemporary dance, flowing into 'BELIEVE', and then 'RISE UP', revealing a harder side of NiziU. In 'All right', they showcased a powerful synchronized dance unique to NiziU, and in 'CLAP CLAP', they delivered a live feel that highlighted their presence as 'live artists' active in music festivals. Following this, they presented unit songs from the limited edition B of their 3rd album, showcasing diverse songs and presences from each unit. The performance by Mako, Mayuka, and Rima in 'VILLAIN' showcased a 'bad NiziU' contrasting their usual cuteness, with an impressive silhouette dance of the members. The unit performance by Riku, Ayaka, and Miihi in 'Fairy Magic' pushed the limits of 'cuteness', performing a dance supporting love as described in the lyrics. The R&B number 'Too Much' by Rio, Maya, and Nina showcased a cool girl crush vibe, eliciting screams from the audience with Nina's soaring high notes and the sensual dance of Rio and Maya. After the unit performances, a VCR was shown, leading to the highlight of the concert, the title track '♡Emotion' from the 3rd album, depicting a love strategy in the digital age. The music video has already surpassed 20 million views, and the performance featured visuals inspired by photo-sharing SNS, showcasing their formation dance and choreography reminiscent of hearts, captivating the audience with Riku and Nina's impressive high note fakes in the last chorus. This hall tour also featured a new attempt at members playing instruments, which was realized in the final performance at Budokan. They performed a medley of their debut song 'Step and a step' and the pre-debut song 'Make you happy', with Mayuka on piano and Nina on acoustic guitar (Nina played guitar only for 'Make you happy'). The performance was filled with a sense of their artist side, distinct from 'previous NiziU', reaching the climax with 'YOAKE', depicting the growth from girlhood to womanhood, followed by the Japanese version of their 2nd Korean single 'LOVE LINE -Japanese ver.-'. With Mayuka's shout, 'Can Budokan get even more excited!', the venue reached maximum voltage with 'What if -Japanese ver.-', concluding the main part with 'Memories', which etched the memories of their 'first hall tour' in the hearts of the audience. The encore opened with the cute 'Joyful', featuring solo dances from the members, igniting cheers from the audience right from the first encore song. During the encore MC, there were emotional moments as they reflected on completing the tour with approximately 80,000 attendees across 21 cities and 32 performances. With surprises from fans, the tour, which lasted about two and a half months and was a full house, finally came to a close. The audience could further sense NiziU's potential as artists, discovering their 'new emotions' as the title suggests. After the performance, details of their upcoming arena tour starting in February 2026 were announced.
