The new generation J-POP boy group aoen, managed by JCONIC, held a concert in Fukuoka on May 23 (Saturday) as part of their ongoing 47-prefecture tour 'aoen LIVE TOUR 2026 ~Beginning of Blue 47+1~'. Just after the surprise announcement at noon on the same day regarding the release of their 3rd single 'Hajimari COLOR' on July 22 (Wednesday), the venue was filled with intense excitement. On stage, they expressed their strong determination for their latest work and made a passionate promise to the gathered fans, aoring. While on their 47-prefecture tour, aoen held their 16th concert at DRUM LOGOS in Fukuoka on May 23 (Saturday). The day before, on May 22 (Friday), the members themselves went to 'Lalaport Fukuoka' to distribute flyers guerrilla-style. In response to their earnest efforts, many aoring fans came to the venue. At noon on this day, the highly anticipated release of the 3rd single 'Hajimari COLOR' was announced, raising the venue's energy to its peak before the show. During the concert, they greeted the audience in playful Fukuoka dialect, saying 'Bari koito yo' and 'Motsunabe suki na hito?' which filled the venue with smiles and excitement. On this day, in front of the enthusiastic crowd, Gaku expressed, 'Even in my dreams, I am performing live in front of aoring, and although it was an imaginary place, it was bigger than a dome. I want to make that a reality. I want to take aoring to more places and create the best memories.' Additionally, this was the first time they stood on stage in front of fans after announcing their new song. The leader Yuju mentioned, 'Honestly, there is still a high wall to fill the audience at Tokyo Garden Theater with our current selves. That’s why we are preparing for our 3rd single 'Hajimari COLOR' to be a beginning for many people to get to know aoen, and we seven will do our best. I believe that with aoring, we can overcome this challenge! I want those who don’t know aoen yet to lend us their strength. I want to see a scene full of blue at the Tokyo Garden Theater, so please support us.' He expressed strong determination for the success of the additional performance, which will be the culmination of their ongoing 47-prefecture tour. In response, the fans, aoring, erupted in enthusiastic applause, further strengthening the bond between aoen and aoring. During the encore, they performed the title track of their 2nd single, changing the lyrics to Fukuoka dialect as 'Byou de ochita tchakedo', leaving the stage amidst great success. The 3rd single 'Hajimari COLOR' depicts the beginning of a journey to find one's own color. Just as a prism reflects light and changes color, it is expected to express through four songs how an incomplete self awakens its unique individuality through clashes with diverse personalities. After celebrating their first anniversary and taking on the challenging 47-prefecture tour, they embody their story of finding their own color in their work. As they declared on the first day of the 47-prefecture tour, 'Until we become top artists in Japan, we won't let anyone go,' the future of aoen, who is sprinting forward, is increasingly captivating.
