 The 9-member mixture unit SUPER ★ DRAGON , who has been conducting a Zepp tour "Emotions" touring 5 cities nationwide since March with the latest album "2nd Emotion" full of challenges, will tour final at Zepp Tokyo on April 3rd. Was done.


They sold out all 6 performances in 5 cities and mobilized 13,000 people, and their momentum was tremendous. As the album title shows, various "emotions" that everyone has experienced if they are alive are performed through their own stage performances that make full use of their weapons such as songs and songs, rap, death voice, dance, and human beatbox. , How do you share it with your audience? Under such a theme, the staging that exudes emotions that are sometimes hot and sometimes cool will be held for two day and night performances, and at the end of the night performance, the Hibiya Open Air Concert Hall One-Man will be held on September 7. He also announced that, and shook the hearts of the people who packed the venue with hot emotions.

When the silhouettes and names of the members were laser-projected and the live title "Emotions" became a large copy, nine people were seen scattered throughout the four-layered stage, wearing a purple long jacket over the curtain. .. Then, from the jungle teller song "LRL -Left Right Left-" that was newly challenged on the album, the tour final will start with a beast-like aggression. As the rap and vocals that ride on the tightly carved rhythm change the main voice one after another, the scenery where the green hand lasers raised by each of the nine people intersect is the "conflict" depicted in the song. "Synchronized wonderfully. The floor is drawn from the head to the Spadora World, which is separated from everyday life.

In "Mr. GAME", where the curtain fell from there, the audience responded to the nine people who illuminate the audience with white shining handlights, with the group color blue penlight all over. Each vocal and rap echoes high in the hall, and the dark lighting creates a suspicious atmosphere with the disturbing mood of the song, but just watch it in the aura of the creature called SUPER ★ DRAGON that moves there. I'm overwhelmed just by being there.

If you think about it, MC is irresistible because it exposes the life-sized boyishness of them with an average age of 16 years old. Sogo, who has made a complete copy of his favorite in-car announcement with the Rinkai Line version closest to Zepp Tokyo, greets Sogo, who has been showing dialect MCs in various places, in Korean. Raku calls a yellow cheer, "I love everyone in Tokyo!", And Kazuya reports, "This performance is the 14-year-old last live of Raku with me."

Then, "Let's PAYAPAYA with us!" (Jean), the nine people who suddenly dropped the final song "PAYAPAYA", which usually ends the live with enthusiasm, and launched an aggressive offensive again. Under the lighting that imaged a downpour, the crush of the viewer with a sexy approach including throwing kisses and jacket play heats up, and the singing voice of Yoma who joined the singing from the album also brings out the luster. Kouki also sang "It was Zepp Tokyo that lit the fire, Temera!", And in the single song "Monster!", Which remixed emo hip-hop into a tropical trap, the sad story of those two singing voices. With the addition of contemporary choreography, it shows a deeper world view than the original.

Next, each one will be fascinated by the performance of nine people without relying on the story and direction that were in the conventional tour, the monitor image that makes the members a large copy, etc. But the big theme of this tour. The two R & B love songs of "Bring Back" and "BLOODY LOVE" that continued from here showed the maximum effect.

In "Bring Back", the silhouette image and the quick movement of the members make an exquisite collaboration, and the audience is amazed at the visual effect that the members teleport the lower and upper stages of the stage. Three vocals of Takeshi, Yoma, and Kouki line up in the upper row, and the formation of two rappers Jean and Kazuya in the lower row is beautiful, and the ending where the members disappear leaving Kouki singing against the starry sky is a sad lyrics world. Coupled with that, it was particularly impressive. Even in the all-English word "BLOODY LOVE", Yoma and Takeshi performed a vocal battle with plenty of emotion on the upper stage of the stage, and the dancer group's unprecedented sex appeal exploded. Among them, Sogo, Raku and the younger group's expressive power grew up at once, and made me realize the horror of teenage growth speed.

However, immediately after that, the younger group Thunder Dragon (Sogo, Kouki, Yoma, Kazuya, Raku) unfolds an MC that can not be written with the boys' junior and senior high school students fully open, and this gap is also a teenager. That's why it's attractive now. At the end of the game, the call and response of "Are you excited?" Is repeated, and the audience is excited by the game of gradually raising the tone. , 颯) with a baton touch. If Jean dynamically shoulders Reio with the EDM song "Geragera" that leads the beat with a crisp rap, Sougo and Raku will be on the second floor in the following Thunder Dragon's popular song "Limakabro!" He came to the audience and shook up the audience with a dazzling smile.

The five people who jump acrobaticly and move, such as sliding down at the bar from the upper stage and jumping from the upper stage of the stage, are full of youth, but immediately after that, Jean, Kouki, Kazuya and the rapper Three people from the group sat down on the sofa and appeared from the smoke to "Set It Off". The new formation in which the other six people dance around the three people who release the feelings of "anger" that they have not expressed in a dangerous rap, greatly expands the possibility of Spadora in the future. It was full of premonitions to spread.

In addition, the downer hip-hop tune "WARNING", which is also the lead song of the album, expresses anger toward himself, focusing on the emotional vocals of Takeshi and Yoma. The emotions of the viewer are lost due to the sudden changes in emotions from light to dark and from joy to anger, but in any case, their emotions exposed to the limit are outstandingly centripetal, and the entire venue becomes their own emotional world. Take it in and leave no one behind.

In the middle stage, where the album songs incorporating elaborate choreography and formations were lined up to appeal the individuality of each of the nine people, the climax that appeared in a new costume with Jean's own rap trap sandwiched, the nine people are suitable for the red costume. The hot performance that became, swept the hall. In the early song "HACK MY CHOICE", which is familiar to fans, the audience also dances with "Mada'Mada'", which is lined up in a row and approaches the floor, with a voice saying "Go beyond your limits!" I swung up my lights and fists.

Furthermore, in the metal tune "BADASS" where Kazuya's death voice and Kouki's beatbox were raging, an aura of anger covered the stage and said, "Are you guys okay? Let's burn out with us as it is today!" To the last song "Untouchable MAX". A large amount of smoke erupted, and lasers flew violently in the dizzying development of the song, and when the nine people showed the extreme of the army-like aggressive synchro dance reminiscent of a machine gun firing, the song was so uplifting to the touch. Tsuyoshi's husky voice that concludes is also sublimated into a shout. Their power, which points in the same direction with one heart, is as strong as the large family of nine people.

Then it's time to become one with the audience. The refreshing "Endless Dance" opens the encore, and the towel-shaking "+ IKUZE +" invites calls and responses while creating a solid sense of unity with the audience. When Reio leaked to the heat, "This call and tension is the best in the past! This is definitely the hottest place in the world!" I was so impressed.

Kouki also expressed his joy, saying, "Come to expose your emotions, and you can only enjoy what is born momentarily live, and this is an emotion." Even at today's first "time to see the members' faces" using GoPro, Kouki kissed "Everyone loves it!" There was a scene where he smiled with his sleeves saying "I love you!" And writhes with embarrassment, but that is probably because of the euphoria that fills the venue.

Following the announcement that this performance will be the first Blu-ray of Spadora, it seems like a scream when it is announced that a one-man live will be held at the Hibiya Open Air Concert Hall on September 7. Cheers! He thanked the first outdoor one-man, "This is also thanks to everyone," and Tsuyoshi declared, "There is no doubt that it will be a more emo live than this tour."

"With the desire to continue to make smiles together" (Takeshi), and in the final "What a day", "What a day = laugh!" SUPER ★ DRAGON closed the tour final in the air. The dance, the singing voice, grows remarkably every time it is touched, and makes the viewer terrified. Even at the Hibiya Ongakudo five months later, under the blue sky, it will surely show a hot and deep emotion that far exceeds our imagination.
