"NCT 127" will hold "NCT 127 4TH TOUR'NEO CITY : JAPAN – THE
NCT 127 held "MOMENTUM'" in Seoul in January this year, and has performed 24 times in 15 countries in the United States and Asia, and finally the final performance will be in Tokyo.
The tour title "THE MOMENTUM" contains the meaning of moving forward with strong momentum and unity as one team.
The sense of unity with NCT (the nickname for the fans of NCT) was felt even before the opening. Just before the start of the show, the lights in the venue dimmed, "Walk" started playing, and the audience was dyed in a sea of green all at once.
The penlights waved in time with the rhythm, and the fans' shouts got louder. Just as the show started, the volume of the song increased, and the cheers and countdowns of the fans drowned out the music.
The opening video showed the members engaging in a gunfight to break into a certain destination, throwing grenades and then putting on gas masks to advance.
After overcoming the obstacle and breaking through, the members removed their gas masks, and close-ups of them were shown on the venue's large screen.
When the six members appeared in the center of the stage dressed in SWAT style, it seemed as if the entire venue was shaking.
The crowd was filled with cheers. Johnny's deep voice started with "Gas Gas..." and MARK's sharp and free-flowing flow drew the audience in, and Jungwoo, Haechan, and others joined in.
The vocal line enveloped the space with a smooth and delicate voice. The stage was instantly covered in smoke, and the members disappeared from view, while only the singing echoed through the venue. And then the smoke
The members appeared one after another from the stage and performed "Gas" as the first song. NCT 127's strong will to move forward without hesitation was instantly heated up by their sharp gazes and powerful performance.
During the performance of "Faster (Short Ver.)," the dynamic and distorted beat resonated, and the movements were slow, yet powerful energy was felt.
As the performance unfolded, the cold, rough, noisy sound took over the space, and Yuta encouraged the fans, saying, "Let's go, Tokyo!", and then they started singing "Bring The
Noize". With a mixture of rough rap and emotional vocals, the members slowly moved forward towards the Flower Road leading to the center of the audience, and the distance between the members and SHINY
As the time drew near, the cheers grew louder. Next, they called out, "Sing along with me!" and began their performance of "2 Baddies." The cheers of SINCE2 became even more heated.
Haechan quickly took off his jacket and performed with all his heart and soul. After performing four songs nonstop, the members were shown on the screen getting into an elevator.
The story moves to the next stage. However, what awaits them is a countless number of bright red lasers. They rush in as if to capture them, leaving them with no way to escape.
At the moment when the excitement reached its climax, the video ended and red lasers spread all over the venue. The members reappeared on the center stage and Johnny said, "Put your
"Hands up!" he shouted, calling on the fans to raise their hands, and then they went on stage for "Skyscraper." The performance unfolded on the undulating stage,
Ku took off his vest and raised the voltage of the venue with a rap that was like a storm. In the next song, "Chain", SINCE2 called out "Chain!" powerfully, and SINCE2 and the members
After the continuous performances, it was time for the MC. Johnny called out, "Everyone, get ready. I'm 'Tou' and you're 'Kyou'."
"Dad!" "Today!" "Dad!" "Today!" STS responded in perfect unison. Haechan muttered, "It's hot..." and added, "We have a live broadcast, and I'm sure the people who can't come today are jealous.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Are you ready, Tokyo?' he said, encouraging SINCE2. MARK said, 'I was very happy with yesterday's performance, and today I was also happy to see so many SINCE2 members.
"I'm so happy that you came," she said with a smile, and also called out to fans who were far from the stage, "Can you see clearly? (Japanese)." "Thank you for watching us until the end today. Do your best."
"I'm going to be a member of SHINY! I ...
"Achan might be there too, so let's show her our strength! Can we do it, Tokyo? Let's do it. We won't leave anyone behind," he said, stretching his hand out towards SIZZY, conveying a sense of unity.
Jungwoo said, "Today is the last day, so I want to give it my all. The performance is something we create together, so I hope you all enjoy singing along."
Smiling, Do Yeong waved his hands and said, "Hey everyone, it's Do Yeong. Can you all see us clearly? Can you see everyone on the third floor clearly? We're a little small, aren't we? Is that okay?
Today is the last day, and we need everyone's energy. Are you all ready?" he asked in Japanese.
Then Johnny, dissatisfied, confronts Do Yeong, saying, "What are you doing?"
Do Yeong asked SINCE, "Are you ready?" SINCE responded with a cheerful "Not yet!", and Johnny seemed satisfied. Mark then said, "Thank you very much, I'm Mark."
He then asked, "Do you want one?" and responded to the loud cheers of SHS, "MARK An!", showing his cuteness. Johnny then said to Haechan, "Hey,
"I'm Hechan," he said, and the crowd went wild. The aegyo festival continued, and Do Yeong asked Yuta, "Yuta, what are you doing?
When asked, "Do you like it?" Yuta showed a mini heart and asked Jungwoo, "Jungwoo-san! What do you like?", but Jungwoo didn't quite get the meaning of "What do you like?" and answered instead.
Instead, Haechan answered, "You're better than chocolate mint," making S.I.N.E. fall in love with him. After the aegyo time ended, Johnny said, "Since it's the last day, it's important to end it with something good.
You know, right? If you've been to our concerts, you know, right? NCT 127 and UriChildren's concerts have to be made together. Watch the live broadcast only.
"I would be happy if you could experience this in 4D. I hope that everyone can sing together and our voices can reach this far. I hope that we can hear your footsteps too. Can you do that?"
S1E also responded with a loud voice. And when Do Yeong asked, "What's the next song?", Jungwoo confidently introduced "Designer", and the next stage started.
When the stage was prepared with costumed mannequins and hanger racks, the members scattered in all directions and changed their costumes while singing.
As the sweet singing of the members overlapped with the melody of the music, the members swayed their hands from side to side to the music, blew kisses and made hearts with each other, and the friendly atmosphere left the audience speechless.
A small yellow cheer erupted, and Szechuan enjoyed the moment with a smile. In the next song, "Orange Seoul," the light saxophone sound reverberated pleasantly, warming the entire venue.
The audience was enveloped in a vibrant orange light. During "Touch (Japanese Ver.)," which naturally made the audience sway sideways, large balloons were released into the audience, and SHIZUN pushed the balloons up.
When the members gathered on the main stage, they linked arms and stepped happily, and at the end, when MARK shouted, "I love you all!", the venue was filled with big smiles.
The members charmed the fans with their energetic and cute appearances, but then they started to show off a different, sexy and calm charm.
In the jazzy number "No Clue," the members' cool, sexy expressions focused on their vision are shown, and the venue erupts in cheers.
The urban pop song "Pricey" and the Latin rhythm-infused "Regular (Korean Ver.)" followed, and Haechan had already taken off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves in a white shirt.
The members of SINCE2 were simply intoxicated by the cool performance, which was filled with an air of ennui and sexiness. As the passionate stage continued, the members also took off their jackets one by one.
Performance. Every time the members made eye contact they smiled and it was clear they were enjoying the moment with all their heart.
The venue was bathed in red light and a unique whistle sound rang out.
Then, they went on stage for "Sticker." A huge roar spread from the audience as if to say, "We've been waiting for this!", and Shizen's calls became even more passionate.
When Do Yeong asked, "Are you having fun?", the green lights in the audience swayed like waves, and SHE responded in unison with their feelings.
Now it's time to look back on past songs and concerts. Photos are projected onto the screens, and the group reminisces. Tae Yeon and Jaehyun, who were unable to participate in this tour due to their military service,
While looking at the photo in which the members are also in the photo, he suggested that we take a photo in the same pose later. When the topic turned to costumes, the members started messing around by undoing the zippers on their backs.
At the beginning, they were performing fully dressed, but Johnny revealed, "As the performance progressed, we started to take them off one by one." He revealed that Haechan was the first to take off his clothes.
Haechan then said, "I think the performance is more important than the clothes," and the audience gave him a huge round of applause for his constant energy and wholeheartedness.
Even though two members were absent, the performance made their presence felt and touched the hearts of the members of SHIRTZ.
During "Lemonade," Jaehyun appeared on screen, and as he sang "Lemonade" in a soft, sexy, smooth voice, the audience cheered with joy.
During "Can't Help in Drop," a fantastic display of umbrellas adorned the stage, and the venue was gently enveloped in pale pink lights.
"Myself" was performed. And "Gold Dust" was performed with the sea and starry sky as the background.
For 127, the song expresses how Sennyuu is truly a golden light that illuminates the path for them with her delicate, gentle, and sweet singing voice.
The audience was filled with a quiet emotion. Once the members had disappeared from the stage, the rest of the story was shown on the screen. After successfully completing their mission, the building was destroyed.
When the powerful image was played, the audience's expectations rose at once. At that moment, rubble appeared on the stage, and the members' figures quietly stood there. On the screen, Haechan, MARK, and Yu
Close-ups of Ta, Do Yeong, Jungwoo, and Johnny were shown in that order, and the performance of "Far" began with Johnny shouting "Let's go!".
In the midst of a spectacular worldview that seemed to fly beyond the sky, Do Yeong's powerful high tone echoed throughout the venue, overwhelming the audience.
During "It," the audience was bathed in red light and the stage was filled with burning passion.
The members suddenly smiled during their intense dance, and Shizuku was in agony. Furthermore, in "Fack Check," Yuta performed intensely with his hair in disarray.
The heat spread to such an extent that it drowned out the cheers of Shizuku and even the music. The venue was enveloped in an overwhelming sense of unity. As the song ended with the final cry of "Scream!", the fans
The voices never stopped and naturally turned into calls for an encore. Then, the audience was shown on the screen, and they announced, "I'm happy to be part of SHIRTNI," "I'm waiting for all 8 of us to be together," and
The entire venue was filled with emotion as warm messages such as "See you all eight at Tokyo Dome" and "Congratulations on the 7th anniversary of your Japanese debut."
The audience went dark and a video featuring Tae Yeon and Jaehyun appeared on stage.
The members appeared. As they were illuminated by the spotlight one by one, they performed "Wall to Wall" with a lot of groove. Among them, Jungwoo showed off his bangs from the opening.
Then, she changed her style to one with her bangs slightly hanging down. Her sexy appearance caused a stir in the audience. When the performance ended, the members' shadows were projected on the screen behind the stage.
The video showed not six people, but eight shadows. Even though they couldn't be seen, the eight members of "NCT 127" were certainly there. In the hearts of fans, they dreamed of standing on stage together as eight again.
The anticipation for the day was lit up as a certain hope. Towards the end of the show, the excitement was further accelerated with the song "WALK", which has a cool boom-bap style.
The venue was filled with excitement. Seeing Shizuku's performance, Johnny said with joy, "You sang really hard today, didn't you?" and asked for more, saying he wanted to hear Shizuku's voices.
Afterwards, Do Yeong said, "It's almost time for the last performance," and the atmosphere in the hall became quiet.
The next song, which blew away the awkwardness, was "Meaning of Love," which started with Jaehyun's video. The members rode on a trolley around the audience and threw autographed colored balls.
He also shared his feelings with SBS members who were far from the stage. When Haechan shouted "I love you all" in Japanese, NCT
The unchanging love of 127 filled the entire venue.
During "Road," the members jumped and sang with smiles on their faces, and the fans joined in, jumping around and having fun, creating a happy moment filled with smiles and love.
Finally, to commemorate the day, we decided to take a photo with Shizuni. Then, all of a sudden, the voice said, "3, 2, 1
With the signal "Now," the voices of Shizuku's band echoed from the audience.
They sang "Far Away~" and "Long Slow Distance" together, and the surprise performance to celebrate the 7th anniversary of their Japanese debut began.
Slogans were also displayed, creating an emotional mood. Seeing this unexpected scene, Do Yeong was overwhelmed with emotion and said, "Your voice is so beautiful." His eyes welled up with tears. A presentation from C's filled with gratitude and love.
The members were deeply moved by the news. After taking a commemorative photo, each member sincerely shared their thoughts on the tour's finale.
Johnny: "I think this tour will be memorable in many ways. I had a lot of worries about whether I could do it if I had to start again from the beginning.
But now we are here. It's all thanks to you all. Thank you. If there's one thing I regret now, it's that I didn't approach it with this kind of mindset from the beginning.
I wish I had treasured each and every day of the tour, and made as many memories as possible. I feel a little disappointed.
I will do my best to make it as easy as possible, so I would be delighted if you would join me in creating memories for the future. Thank you for allowing me to say goodbye so beautifully."
Haechan: First of all, I want to say to the members, "Thank you for your hard work." I can say this now, but we only had a short time to prepare for this concert.
I thought it would be too late, but I'm also grateful to all the members of SBS who said they could do it. I don't know if NCT 127 will be able to come back like this again, but I'm still going to throw it away.
We will come back with a great performance, so please wait for us a little longer. Thank you for loving the 8 of us, including the 6 of us, Jaehyun hyung, and Tae Yeon hyung.
I'm grateful to you. (In Japanese) Thank you so much. Please stay healthy and happy until we meet again. MARK
"Finishing a tour is a really big deal. So I want to say thank you.
And once again, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the members, the staff who helped me create "MOMENTUM," and everyone in SHINY.
I've been feeling this since yesterday, but filling the venue with seats is not something that should be taken for granted. Even so, I'm grateful that the venue was filled to capacity again today.
Thank you so much for always making something that is not so obvious come true. And I really enjoyed today. (In Japanese) I hope everyone had a good time too.
(In Korean) Today's stage made me feel like I had fun, so I don't want this stage to end just as fun, but that I can continue on to the next stage.
I will continue to be a person who can do that. (In Japanese) Thank you so much for making our dreams come true. Thank you so much for making our dreams come true.
I hope you will join us in the dream we are having. I look forward to working with you for a long time to come." Yuta: "Did you have fun? Did everyone in the back have fun too?
It felt short if you like, and long if you like, but I think it was all thanks to everyone that we were able to make it to the finals safely as a group of six.
Thank you. I think that we were able to run as a group of six thanks to everyone who supported us, both for the SHS members who couldn't come and for the SHS members who were watching on the screen and enjoying the show.
I think there were some regrets, and I think the finale makes you feel sad, but it's because there is an end that new challenges come into play. Something new is about to begin.
I hope you will look forward to it. I hope you will all live your own lives. Thank you so much for coming today. And to all the members,
Thank you for your hard work." Jungwoo: "Did you all have fun today? I also approached each and every stage with the thought that this was my last time, so I hope you all will be aware of that too.
I hope you were able to join us. Above all, I am very happy that we were able to have a wonderful end in this space without anyone getting hurt. I would also like to say thank you to the members.
I would like to convey my sincere gratitude to everyone who came to the concert. I am very happy that we were able to hold the final concert of the tour at Tokyo Dome. Thank you to everyone who came to the concert even though it was a weekday.
As Yuta said, if there is an end there is a new beginning, so we will come back with great music. Until then, please stay healthy. We are watching over you. Thank you for coming today.
Thank you for coming. (In Japanese) I love you all (heart)." Do Yeong "(In Japanese) Did you enjoy it? Thank you. I hope you will come again today.
Thank you so much for being with me until the end. I was thinking about this alone before going to sleep last night, but it has become a really, really precious memory.
When we had our last performance of the previous tour, I couldn't imagine our activities or stages, but now I'm not worried about our future stages or activities. I'm sure everyone believes in us.
So please look forward to our future activities. All eight of us will come back here. Please stay with us. We will also speak in Korean at the end. (In Korean) Thank you to all the staff.
Thank you. When we thought about making a stage with the six members, we just wanted to do our best, but when we thought about it, today was the last day for the six of us to tour.
There is a high probability that it will happen. So I really want to say thank you for your hard work. And the reason I wanted to speak in Korean is because I am performing in Japan, but I want to show my Korean to the whole world.
I think that you are watching us. I really want to tell you not to worry. I will continue to support ‘NCT
"127" may be in a different format, but I want to maintain this group and give everyone a great performance.
Don't worry, we'll show you. And I'm not sure if I should say this, but I'll say it. Our company, SM Entertainment, and the eight of us are forever, so don't worry.
"NCT 127" left a strong promise that "we will come back as 8 members" and delivered comfort and hope to S7. The last song was "Love You,
"Promise You" is a song that expresses the eternal feelings of the members to SHS. "Thank you everyone," Do Yeong said, sitting in the center of the center stage and looking around the audience.
The other members naturally sat down and took in the scenery that unfolded before their eyes. "This is the last greeting. See you again!" Do Yeong said as a signal.
The members reluctantly left the stage. However, the heat in the venue had not yet cooled. Then, along with the heavy sound, a video was projected. A man wearing a black rider jacket
The moment the blonde turned around in close-up, Jaehyun smiled and gave a wink. The excitement in the venue rose to a fever pitch again.
"NCT Iritil!" cried SONE, and the venue rippled with green light sticks. The stage went dark and the bell rang out, "Lo
The gentle piano melody of "Slow Distance" began to play. The members appeared on stage singing one by one, enveloping the venue with their beautiful harmony.
At the end of the song, everyone gathered in the center of the stage, huddled in a circle, and hugged each other. As the group gave a big round of applause, the sight of them saying "good job" to each other was reminiscent of the image of the group running around the world.
Do Yeong said, "Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for staying with us until the end," and the members slowly made their way to the main stage.
The image of the six of them was shown on the screen, and the audience spontaneously burst into applause for their successful final performance.
Thank you very much," she said, bowing deeply. "It's a wonderful way to end the show. It's also cool that no one is crying," she said.
Yong. SINCE watched him with a warm gaze. Eventually, the six of them joined hands and left the stage, sadly saying goodbye to SINCE.
The concert, which lasted for about three hours, was a special time that was created together with SHS.
