NiziU's tour 'NiziU Live with U 2024-2025 “AWAKE”' opened on the 23rd and 24th at Sandome Fukui in Fukui Prefecture. This is their third tour and the first 'Winter Tour' held in winter, covering 18 performances in 8 cities nationwide. The initial performance took place at Sandome Fukui, marking NiziU's first concert in the Hokuriku region, where they showcased their heartfelt performances over two days, thrilling the packed audience. The venue, filled with excitement, went dark, and an opening video symbolizing the first 'Winter Tour' began to play. The visuals conveyed winter's transparency and sparkle, highlighting the members' grown-up 'beauty' alongside their 'cuteness,' raising fans' expectations for a different atmosphere from previous concerts. Dressed in cool navy outfits against a dazzling snowflake-like background, the audience erupted with screams of joy upon seeing the members. The tour's opening performance, after a year and two months, featured 'RISE UP,' the title track from their album released in July, which has gained attention for its new world view and topped both the Oricon and Billboard weekly album charts. The dark and cool sound, high vocal ability, and well-known sharp formation dance raised the fans' excitement to the max, as they performed both upbeat songs and ballads that are standard for NiziU, successfully concluding the first performance of their third tour. The first day of the tour started in Fukui Prefecture, and member Maya, from Ishikawa Prefecture, the neighboring area, joyfully greeted the audience with 'I'm back!' during the MC, expressing her happiness about performing in this location. The tour's title, 'AWAKE,' also features new songs from their mini-album set to release in February next year.
