The first solo concert of DxS (SEVENTEEN), consisting of Dokyum and Seungkwan, 'DxS [SERENADE] ON STAGE - JAPAN', was held at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall on April 29 and 30, concluding successfully. This concert was part of a tour starting from Incheon, South Korea, from April 17 to 19, visiting four Asian cities, with two performances in Chiba that excited approximately 40,000 CARATs (SEVENTEEN's fan name). On April 29 (Wednesday) and 30 (Thursday), CARATs gathered from all over the world to enjoy the DxS (SEVENTEEN) concert at Chiba's Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall. The concert started with the title track 'Blue' from the DxS 1st Mini Album 'Serenade'. The atmosphere changed dramatically from a typical SEVENTEEN concert, with live performances resembling an orchestra, enveloping the venue in the duo's voices reminiscent of a winter snow scene. Following 'Silence', they performed SEVENTEEN's song 'Habit' and moved to the first MC. Since it was a concert for just the two of them, they expressed their nervousness while elegantly greeting the audience, starting the first MC. They commented, 'This is our first concert just the two of us, and we have prepared various songs and stages. We would be happy if you could sing along with us.' Afterward, they continued the MC in their usual fun atmosphere, expressing joy at reuniting with CARATs, practicing cheers for the concert, and engaging in enjoyable talks. After the MC, they performed DxS (SEVENTEEN)'s song 'Guilty Pleasure', followed by SEVENTEEN's songs 'Good to Me' and 'Ready to Love'. Next was Seungkwan's solo stage, where he appeared on a rising platform in the center. He performed 'Dandelion', with butterflies flying around during the performance, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a warm spring meadow. The mood shifted dramatically as he sang 'Dream Serenade (SEUNGKWAN Solo)' from 'Serenade'. He then covered Taeyeon's 'Time Lapse', enveloping the venue in a gentle atmosphere. The mood brightened as Dokyum performed DAY6's Wonpil's song 'A Journey', followed by 'Go!'. The moment when CARATs sang along was a unifying experience. He then performed 'Rockstar (DK Solo)' while playing guitar, captivating the audience with a refreshing and lively stage. In the following VCR, they reinterpreted the music video for 'Blue', which elicited laughter and cheers from the audience. They then covered Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars's 'Die With A Smile'. The concert transitioned into a talk corner resembling a music program, where they showcased various songs they had previously covered, including works by Japanese artists, revealing their diverse sides. The atmosphere changed again as they performed Lee Ji-hoon's 'Doll' together. This was followed by a medley stage of SEVENTEEN's VOCAL TEAM, singing 'Same Dream, Same Mind, Same Night', 'Dust', 'Imperfect Love', and 'Cheers to Youth', with moments of singing along with CARATs, reaching a peak of excitement before concluding the talk corner. As the concert approached its finale, they performed the unreleased song 'Drained', SEVENTEEN's VOCAL TEAM's song 'Don't Listen in Secret', and their first duet 'Say Yes', closing the main part with DxS (SEVENTEEN)'s latest song 'Feel Me'. The encore stage began brightly and lightly with 'Prelude of Love' by DxS (SEVENTEEN). During the encore MC, they commented, 'I was very happy thanks to everyone. I am glad we could have this concert, and I hope it was a happy day for you too. Thank you for filling this venue. Please be careful on your way home.' They then rode a trolley, singing SEVENTEEN and BSS songs randomly while touring the venue, concluding 'DxS [SERENADE] ON STAGE - JAPAN' successfully. After completing 'DxS [SERENADE] ON STAGE - JAPAN', DxS (SEVENTEEN) is scheduled to hold a concert in Daegu, South Korea, on May 30 (Saturday) and 31 (Sunday).
