The global group &TEAM from Japan performed at the largest outdoor rock festival in Japan, 'ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2025,' held on September 15 (Monday, holiday) at Soga Sports Park in Chiba City, exciting the venue. They showcased an impressive stage combining &TEAM's high live performance ability and a live band over a total of 8 songs (including a medley). The stage started with a band version medley of the title track 'FIREWORK' from their 2nd EP 'First Howling: WE.' They also performed their 3rd single's title track 'Go in Blind (Tsuki Okami),' which received its first million certification, showcasing &TEAM's identity, Wolf DNA, with an energetic performance that caught attention. Next, during 'Run Wild,' they heightened the venue's excitement with an addictive rhythm. They covered BTS's 'MIC Drop,' which drew a huge cheer from the large audience as an unexpected surprise. Furthermore, they captivated the audience with the distinctive dance of 'Koe Kawari,' where they held the mic backward, and the choreography of 'Ookami-kei Danshi,' where they aligned the angles of the stand mics in a row, completely taking over the stage as '9 wolves.' During the MC, member HARUA conveyed their preparations for their Korean debut, stating, 'Performing in front of everyone has energized us. We want to work hard to deliver our music to the world.' Sub-leader FUMA expressed his determination to make the stage one that those who saw &TEAM today would think was worth it, performing the title track 'Under the skin' from their 1st album 'First Howling: NOW' in a band version. The finale was 'Feel the Pulse,' where the venue shook with beats as the audience raised their hands high, leaving the venue in a great success enveloped in unity. &TEAM has established immense popularity centered in Japan, with their 3rd single 'Go in Blind (Tsuki Okami)' exceeding total shipments of 1 million copies and achieving their first 'million certification' in July's gold disc certification. Additionally, during their anniversary event '3rd Anniversary [En DAY]' celebrating their 3rd year, they announced the release of their 1st mini-album in Korea, 'Back to Life,' on October 28 (Tuesday), marking their Korean debut. This will be a new step towards realizing their goal of 'Japan to Global.'
