ILLIT, which made its Japanese debut on September 1, successfully completed an arena tour with 4 performances in 2 cities. They held their first fan concert '2025 ILLIT GLITTER DAY IN JAPAN' at Osaka Castle Hall on September 3 and 4. Following their Kanagawa performance in August, both shows in Osaka sold out, proving ILLIT's popularity. The venue was filled with excitement as it was their first fan concert right after their Japanese debut. ILLIT made a lively entrance with 'Billyeoon Goyangi (Do the Dance)' and 'Tick-Tack'. They greeted the audience, saying, 'Welcome to GLITTER DAY with ILLIT and GLLIT (the name of their fans)!', and the crowd responded with energetic cheers. The highlight of the concert was the performance of their first Japanese single's title track '時よ止まれ'. At the Kanagawa concert, the creator of the song 'Topping', Noa, surprised the audience with a collaboration stage, while at the Osaka concert, Mulasaki Ima, who wrote the lyrics for '時よ止まれ', made a surprise appearance, exciting the crowd with a collaboration stage. ILLIT expressed their dedication in preparing for their first single, hoping GLLIT would enjoy it. Mulasaki Ima also performed the viral hit '魔性の女A', adding a special gift for the Osaka concert. The members' use of Kansai dialect in their talks was a unique point of the Osaka concert. They learned Kansai dialect directly from the audience and practiced it on stage. Additionally, they added a Kansai dialect cheer to the intro of their debut hit 'Magnetic', receiving a great response. The J-POP cover stage, which had also garnered attention at the Kanagawa concert, was lively again. On the 3rd, Yuna performed '君はロックを聴かない' (Aimyoon), Mocha sang 'Darling' (Kana Nishino), and Wonhee performed '♡桃色片想い♡' (Aya Matsuura). On the 4th, Minju showcased 'GLAMOROUS SKY' (Mika Nakashima) and Iroha performed 'DANCE WITH ME NOW!' (E-girls), highlighting each member's individuality. They made a grand entrance for 'Lucky Girl Syndrome' from the back of the arena, high-fiving fans and creating hearts together for closer communication. Other performances included a cute cover of TWICE's 'What is Love?', the explosive 'oops!' which debuted at the Kanagawa concert, and the challenging 'jellyous', providing diverse enjoyment. In the encore, they performed '時よ止まれ' again solo. The point dance representing the second hand of a clock, adapted from the hand choreography of 'Magnetic', was impressive. They then sang the sweet support song 'Almond Chocolate' filled with love for GLLIT. In 'I'll Like you', they sang in parts with GLLIT, creating a united experience, making special memories through all 15 songs. Finally, ILLIT expressed their gratitude, saying, 'Thank you for creating a magical and happy time with us at our first solo concert in Osaka.' They shared their hopes of meeting more GLLIT in various regions and expressed excitement for future concerts on larger stages like domes. The members shared emotional moments, closing the final greeting together.
