[Official Report] JAEJOONG holds Japan concerts for 20th debut anniversary and album release commemorative tour!!
The super-crowded Pia Arena MM is enveloped in the beautiful images of Jaejoong and the 20th anniversary of his debut tour ‘2024 KIM JAEJOONG ASIA TOUR CONCERT “FLOWER GARDEN” in JAPAN’ will open the curtain. The tour is a live tour under the title of ‘FLOWER GARDEN’, an original full album released in South Korea to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his debut, starting with a performance in Seoul, South Korea on 20 July, followed by performances in Yokohama, Thailand, Kobe, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Taiwan and Macau. This is the second show and the first to be held in Japan.

Lifted up from the centre of the stage, Jaejoong sashayed on stage to the danceable rhythm of ‘Good News’ played by the full band, feeling the excitement of the audience.

After performing songs from ‘FLOWER GARDEN’, Jaejoong began to greet the audience.
He shows his kindness, not forgetting to consider those who have come to the concert for the first time "There are a lot of new songs, so you might not be familiar with them, but we've arranged them so that they are easy to get on to for first-time listeners, so I hope you enjoy them."

The band then performed ‘Devotion’, a song with a red jacket and a full-on rock feel. The song captivated the audience with its powerful long high tones.
Next came ‘Dopamine’, a collaboration with MIYAVI, in which Jaejoong's passionate high-tone voice echoed through the venue, and he and the guitarist and bassist gave a performance full of passion.

After the rock part, the intro of ‘Summer J’ began to flow. When the whole venue started clapping, an elated Jaejoong incited the audience, moving back and forth between the main stage and the centre stage, and the 8,500 people in the venue responded. The fans' voltage remained at its highest as they made “J” poses with their fingers during ’J! J! J!

Jaejoong sang ‘GLAMOROUS SKY’ yesterday and I was very nervous because Mika Nakajima was there,’ Jaejoong said, reminiscing about their past collaborations and performing live together with HYDE.
When HYDE was mentioned, the HYDE-produced song ‘BREAKING DAWN’ began, and with the enthusiasm intact, the audience sang ‘Glorious Day’, the lead song from the album ‘FLOWER GARDEN’, together with them. The beautiful harmonies woven with the fans echoed through Yokohama and became the highlight of the 20th anniversary tour.

The following MC corner was filled with a somewhat gentle atmosphere, and the talk continued to make the audience feel warm and relaxed. The last part of the show began with the words, "It's hard to say goodbye, but..."

The last song of the show was ‘I'll protect you’. As Jaejoong spun the beautiful melody, his feelings for the fans who had supported him throughout his 20 years of running together could not stop overflowing. During the song, they sang completely a cappella, and you could feel every breath they took as they sang quietly and with all their hearts. Then suddenly he started looking around the audience and handed the microphone to one of the audience members and asked him to sing a phrase. The audience tried their best to sing along, but reacted with love, saying things like "I don't know whether I'm laughing or singing (laughs)." The audience laughed and the fan singing corner continued. Jaejoong himself closed with his beautiful singing voice and disappeared from the stage with a divine beauty, surrounded by confetti.

For the encore, they sang ‘I AM U’. She fully expressed her ‘Thank you’ to her fans and promised to meet them again in Kobe in a month's time, along with her overflowing gratitude. At the end, she expressed her gratitude to the fans who had come under the scorching sun by bowing deeply and politely.

After Jaejoong left with a mess of confetti, a surprise announcement was made in the video that iNKODE JAPAN's first live event, founded by Jaejoong, would take place! The title ‘iNKODE to PLAY’ and the announcement that the event will be held at Makuhari Messe Event Hall on the 5th (Sat) and 6th (Sun) October were met with a huge cheer from the fans.

With beautiful music and a performance that captivated everyone, the first performance in Japan of Jaejoong's live tour, which can be seen as the culmination of 20 glorious years, closed with great emotion.
