ITZY held their 3rd World Tour in Japan, showcasing evolved performances and engaging with fans, culminating in a powerful concert experience.

ITZY held their Japan performance of the world tour "ITZY 3RD WORLD TOUR" at Keio Arena TOKYO. The performances on May 9 and 10 sold out immediately upon ticket release. The five members, who stood on the Japanese stage again after last October's fan meeting, showcased an evolved performance. They debuted in 2019 and have gained support as icons of 'teen crush' among those in their teens and twenties, armed with songs that convey a message of 'self-affirmation' and overwhelming performances. This concert was structured around the concept of their album "TUNNEL VISION," which tells the story of 'searching for the true self.' The combination of songs, visuals, and lighting expressed different worldviews for each song, captivating the audience until the end. The members appeared on stage with "Focus," and the live began with the latest song from their Korean album, "TUNNEL VISION." The powerful performance with many dancers raised the venue's energy immediately. Following this, dance numbers continued, captivating the audience with overwhelming heat from the start. After the performance, each member greeted the audience. Yeji's words, "'ITZY 3RD WORLD TOUR in JAPAN' has finally begun!" initiated a series of heartfelt messages from each member. When they called out, "MIDZY (ITZY's fans) who are here for the first time, raise your hands!" the venue responded enthusiastically, enjoying moments of call and response. They also waved to the audience in the stands and those far away, greeting all MIDZY present with care. Next was the solo stage, exclusive to the concert, showcasing each member's unique charm, with various reactions from the audience, and each stage was enveloped in great cheers. After the solo stages, the live returned to group performances. Continuing the venue's excitement, songs like "GOLD," "Wild Wild West," and "In the morning" captivated the audience with powerful stages. They drew attention again with the song "THAT'S A NO NO," which recorded an unusual 'reverse hit' after performances in Korea. The live video of "THAT'S A NO NO," a song from an album released six years ago, received renewed appreciation for ITZY's high quality as performance queens. The live video, released in February, gradually spread and climbed the charts, reaching number one in the Korean YouTube music video rankings in March, continuing to rank high on various streaming sites, marking an unusual revival hit that was covered in the news. The moment the intro played, the venue erupted with cheers, indicating its high level of attention. With a powerful performance, the audience's shouts grew louder, further raising the live's voltage. As the live approached its climax, the Japanese original song "ROCK & ROLL," the title track of their second Japanese album "Collector," was performed, accompanied by an energetic performance that amplified the audience's cheers. The following song, "Not Shy," maintained that momentum. The final song of the main set, "LOCO," brought the live to a climax amidst the audience's cheers. In the encore, they performed the Japanese original song "Trigger," followed by Korean album songs "FIVE" and "8-BIT HEART." Finally, they concluded the concert with a medley of Japanese release songs. ITZY showcased further evolution in this performance. A new album titled "Motto" is set to be released in Korea on May 18, raising expectations for their future activities.
