This year, on April 27, the date of their Japanese debut, Tohoshinki held the final performance of 'Tohoshinki 20th Anniversary LIVE TOUR ~ZONE~' at Tokyo Dome, celebrating their 20th anniversary in Japan. Changmin from Tohoshinki held his first nationwide solo concert tour 'CHANGMIN from Tohoshinki CONCERT TOUR ~The First Dining~'. The tour concluded with two days at TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO on December 6 and 7, with all 20 performances sold out, attracting about 65,000 attendees. As the title 'The First Dining' suggests, this was his first solo concert, and he wanted each song to be enjoyed like a course meal, featuring live band performances and acoustic arrangements, allowing fans to experience Changmin's vocal expression and music up close. At the additional performances at TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO, five new songs were introduced, including covers of 'Chocolate', 'When the Cold Wind Blows', and 'Until the World Ends'. A highlight was the surprise appearance of Kyuhyun from SUPER JUNIOR, who is a close friend of Changmin. Although Kyuhyun was not expected to appear on the second day, he surprised everyone during the encore, collaborating with Changmin on covers of 'Strawberry' and 'Men Men Shikute'. The concert concluded with the final song 'Rock with U', where fans engaged in a lively call and response, uniting the venue. A recording of the performance at Tokyo International Forum Hall A, which marked the start of the tour, was released on December 3. Through their solo activities, Yunho and Changmin continue to deliver different charms from their group activities. On February 20, a film commemorating their 20th anniversary, 'Tohoshinki 20th Anniversary Film『IDENTITY』', will be released in theaters, and on April 25 and 26, they announced a third performance at Nissan Stadium, the most for any overseas artist, showing that Tohoshinki continues to evolve even after 20 years, raising great expectations for their next stage.
