From October 3, Kep1er's concert tour "2025 Kep1er CONCERT TOUR [Into The Orbit: Kep1asia]" starts its performances in Japan. The first day was held at Fukuoka Civic Hall. This concert is part of a world tour that began with a performance in Seoul in September, and it is the first time Kep1er has performed in Fukuoka. After an opening movie, Kep1er made an energetic entrance, performing upbeat songs including their original Japanese track "Yum" released in April this year, raising the excitement in the venue from the start. The atmosphere then changed as they showcased unique unit cover stages typical of concerts. Fans were captivated by their various charms, and as the performance progressed, the energy in the venue gradually intensified. Fukuoka is also the hometown of member Hikaru, who greeted the audience as the MC, saying, "It's been a while, I'm back!" to which the crowd responded, "Welcome back!" She expressed her emotions, saying, "I came here crying, having taken the path I always used to take. Since it's my first time in Fukuoka, I hope to create good memories here." In the latter half, they performed their latest song "BUBBLE GUM," released in August, and the venue erupted with cheers during their catchy and powerful performance of "WA DA DA (Japanese ver.)". In the encore, they commented, "I was surprised by the huge support from the fans, even though it was my first time in Fukuoka. I felt so happy to receive such good energy here. I hope the afterglow of our performance becomes energy for your daily lives." They showcased exclusive performances for the Japanese audience and meaningful songs, closing the first day of the Japan concert with an impressive performance of 24 songs over approximately 120 minutes. They successfully wrapped up the first concert of their new tour structure and plan to continue the excitement in Tokyo on October 10 and 11, and in Kyoto on December 12 and 14. An interview ahead of the concert revealed each member's heartfelt thoughts for their fans. We want to focus on the growth of Kep1er, who have honed their skills through numerous performances. -- The "2025 Kep1er CONCERT TOUR [Into The Orbit: Kep1asia]" has finally begun, so please share your honest feelings! Hikaru: I still can't believe it. It's my first time coming to Fukuoka as Kep1er, so it feels strange to have the members here, in a place I'm so familiar with (laughs). It's a dream to be able to perform in my hometown. -- What kind of tour do you want this to be for Kep1er? Dayeon: Since this is our first solo concert tour, I hope it becomes an unforgettable performance for both us and the Kep1ians (Kep1er fans). I would be happy if they feel happy watching our stage. Shaoting: I also think it's most important for our fans to feel happy when they watch Kep1er's stage. Hyunbin: I want the Kep1ians who always support us to think, "My idol is this good on stage!" and I promised to show our growth. -- What kind of time do you want to share with fans through the concert? Chaehyun: Every time I stand on stage as Kep1er, I think, "Choosing this dream was the right choice," and I hope fans feel the same about being Kep1ians. Yujin: I would be happy if it becomes a "happy memory" for them. I want Kep1ians to feel the same happiness we feel at concerts. -- Please give a message to the fans coming to this tour. Hikaru: Of course in Tokyo, but since we haven't performed in Fukuoka or Kyoto before, I think there will be first-time attendees, but we will do our best to make it exciting, so I believe everyone will enjoy it. Let's have fun together! Dayeon: First of all, thank you for loving us for four long years. I'm nervous since this is our first concert tour, but I would be happy if the Kep1ians feel happy. Thank you always!
