BLUE MOON JAY FANMEETING TOUR 2025 WELCOME BACK IN JAPAN is held in 2 locations, Tokyo and Osaka. The performance of his latest solo album "BLUE MOON" is also shown for the first time in Japan.
There was also fun interaction with fans through talks and games! We bring you a report on the FANMEETING at Zepp Haneda (Tokyo), which is filled with sweet singing voice, wonderful performances and JAY's deep feelings for his fans!
■ "Welcome back!" A moment filled with the emotions we had been waiting for for a long time.
When a recording video showing on screen, some fans are crying when they saw the message from JAY that was released in August 2023. Then a long-awaited icon appears on stage!
The opening song "WAIT FOR YOU" which Jay wrote for his fans, resonates into the hearts of fans with his clear singing voice. And then...JAY said, "I'm back!" and then the fans replied, "Welcome back! We've been waiting for you!"
JAY: "I really missed you. It's been a while, everyone. I've been waiting for today too. Now that we've finally met, let's have fun today and make lots of good memories."
■ Talk time to learn about a new side of JAY and have fun interacting with fans
The audience was thrilled by the behind-the-scenes stories of the Time Record shoot before enlistment, episodes of JAY's kindness during his enlistment, and treasured selfies. In particular, fans shouted "I want to eat it!" at the highly-finished photos of the home-cooked meal series. JAY's response of "I'm good at cooking, so I'll make it for you" got the audience excited. When asked what he would like to do with his fans, JAY said, "Going on a trip!" It was a time when dreams kept growing.
The second song is "BLUE MOON," which was also the title of her solo album. Her beautiful singing voice and graceful dancing created a mystical atmosphere in the venue.
■ Exciting Q&A corner
A corner where all the questions posted by fans on the day were selected from the panel and a direct Q&A talk is held. In response to a request "sing a song by BIGBANG's SOL senior," JAY improvised "EYES, NOSE, LIPS" with his beautiful voice, and everyone was thrilled! He answered each request with smile was captivating all fans. The next game is "Guess JAY's Song" when the fans had to guess the keyword of the song by drawing it with JAY's skill (?).
Fans were asked to draw pictures in 10 seconds and shouted out the answer in unison! The first question "GOODBYE ROAD" was answered correctly and immediately. Then came the distinctive danceable number "RHYTHM TA".
Jay performed five songs, including "WAIT FOR YOU," in which he expressed his longing to meet his fans with tears and a word "MISS YOU" and the song "B-DAY" also make the crowds going wild with a picture of honeybees, and "BLING BLING." The second game is a two-choice balance game. Fans competed to see how much they could feel the same as Jay did.
The content gives a glimpse into JAY's love life, and the excitement is unstoppable! The three fans who answered all the questions correctly were presented with a drawing of JAY's best work he made during the quiz game.
A message from JAY:
"Thank you so much for coming. I'm currently working hard on preparing my album, so I think we'll be able to see each other again soon. Please wait just a little longer! Look forward to see you. I think it'll be summer... I think I'll be able to see you all again with my album and at concert.
Did you enjoy it? It's almost the last song... I don't like to say so, but... In summer, I want to perform on the stage with all my songs. Right now I only have five songs, so I'll release more from now on and do my best! The last song is "PARADISE"."
A dynamic dance that is in perfect harmony with the dancers. A cool, sweet with the sad voice. The excitement at the venue never disappear easily due to the wonderful performance. Jay left the stage with an unforgettable impression to his fans. See you again this Summer!
