The global group &TEAM from Japan held the first performance of their fourth concert tour '2026 &TEAM CONCERT TOUR 'BLAZE THE WAY'' on May 13, 2026, at K Arena Yokohama, demonstrating their overwhelming ability as a 'perfect elite stage group' that captivates everyone who sees them. During the performance, a surprise announcement was made to fans about an encore performance at Belluna Dome (Saitama), the largest venue for the group, making it an exhilarating night. Amidst thunderous cheers, K appeared like a lone wolf at the front of the stage, joining the other members to start the performance of the nine. In the opening stage, they showcased their evolved and stronger selves with songs including 'Back to Life,' 'Lunatic,' and 'War Cry,' raising the venue's energy to its peak from the very beginning. Sub-leader FUMA expressed his joy about starting the tour in Yokohama, where he has many memories with their fans, LUNÉ, despite feeling nervous about the fourth tour. This tour was characterized by the members discussing song selection, performance, and production together, striving to complete it as a single work. As proof of their enthusiasm, they surprised the audience with the performance of 'Rush,' which was being performed for the first time on stage. Additionally, during their third single's title track 'Go in Blind (Tsukigami),' which achieved their first million, they performed a tour-original dance break while blindfolded, heightening the venue's excitement. Furthermore, their latest song 'Bewitched,' from their third EP, showcased an even stronger and more refined charm, captivating the audience with a performance that paid attention to every detail. In 'Hotline,' a part was devised for fans to sing along, resonating throughout the venue, uniting everyone in voice. They also performed 'MISMATCH,' a track from their Korean debut, in Korean, demonstrating their growth as a global group, and in the finale, they showcased 'We on Fire,' the title track from their third EP, which achieved its third million. As the encore began, a video played on the screen. Initially reflecting on past tours, it suddenly hinted at the encore performance with the tour logo, followed by the dates and the words 'BELLUNA DOME,' revealing that the encore performance would be held on September 5 (Saturday) and 6 (Sunday) at Belluna Dome. The announcement of the dome performance, one of the dreams since the group's formation, elicited a thunderous cheer from the venue. Still buzzing with excitement, during 'Run Wild,' which incorporated EDM elements, the members rushed close to LUNÉ to enjoy dancing together. The powerful chant 'L.I.V.E free! Run Run wild!' echoed from both LUNÉ and the members. In his final comments, TAKI expressed his determination regarding the dome performance decision, saying, 'When I first heard it, I almost cried. I've been working hard for this. I won't let you regret it.' K promised, 'I kept my promise to LUNÉ. I want to remember the feelings I had when I had dreams and work diligently on each one. We will grow as a group that is sincere about music.'
