 All 6 performances of the Zepp tour in the spring were sold out. SUPER ★ DRAGON , a 9-member mixture unit with an average age of 17 years old, has appeared on July 23 at "Coca-Cola SUMMER STATION Music Live" at Roppongi Hills Arena. This event is held as part of "TV Asahi Roppongi Hills Summer Festival SUMMER STATION" sponsored by TV Asahi from July to August every year, and they also participated for the first time this time with new songs that were unveiled for the first time. While mixing, the cool coolness that softens the heat of summer and the hot heat that burns in contrast were blown into the audience of 2000 people, showing the individuality that is not straightforward for the group called SUPER ★ DRAGON.

The nine people who appeared on the stage from the familiar SE first dropped "LRL -Left Right Left-" which shakes the air in the hall with a tribal beat. They barked like a beast, "Growl!" Even in the following classic song "PAYAPAYA", the audience is fascinated by the ennui look and provocative gestures. The excitement of the audience is only rising as the poses at the break, the kisses thrown with the fingers, and everything else is slamming into the "coolness".

In addition, the humidity of the rainy season and the double punch of the temperature close to 30 degrees, the tension of the members also cuts the boiling point. After his favorite human beatbox, he said "I'm Kouki! Please!" With a cute voice and was thrust into "Who is it!" The word is repeated. Where is the usual samurai soul? Kazuya who introduced himself as "Tomokundesu", Jean who concluded the usual "Jajajan!" Call with just one call, and MC It seems to deviate greatly from normal operation.

In order to cool down such tension, "Summer Breeze" was given as "Let's get excited today" (Takeshi). The grown-up deep house song is a summer tune that says Sogo, "It's been the first time in last year to perform. It feels like summer has come!" The skillful formation dance that makes the most of this is truly unique to Spadora. Coupled with the summer breeze that blows through, the floor of the stage looks like a sandy beach.

Furthermore, if the lead song "Don't Let Me Down" is dropped from the latest album "3rd Identity" released on August 14, there will be great cheers from the venue. Kouki's vocals that exude emo from the cool high tones of Yoma, Jean's distorted rap, and the skillful mic relay that progresses colorfully to Kouki's clear chorus are "superb!" It carries a cool breeze as Kouki says. On the other hand, dancing is quite difficult because it is an avant-garde number that goes beyond mere catchy and pop. The nine people who are already sweaty only heat the hearts of the viewers.

From there, Kazuya screamed, "Not only the refreshing summer, but also the exciting summer!", And "La Vida Loca" rushed in with an aggressive rap from his head, exploding the heat in the hall at once. In "3rd Identity" where the songs produced by each member are gathered, if everyone shakes their hips with a tune with a Latin scent produced by Kazuya, the hall will be screaming and noisy. In addition, in the metal tune "BADASS", where Reio screamed, "All of you guys should come to us!" To nine people, the audience also swings the penlight greatly.

Even in the catchy single "SWEET DEVIL", Kazuya's death voice explodes, and Sogo and Raku also have an acrobatic performance that raises the arms of the members. In the following "Mada'Mada'", Reo made a big jump with the members on the launch pad, and when Yoma's voice "I'm still cool!" The members also praise "You guys are the best". At that moment, I felt a certain bond between them, and I was thrilled.

And the last song that started in the place where there was a comfortable sense of accomplishment beyond the climax was "Get, Treasure Knee". When he finally smiled on the open rhythm of reggae, Jean led the way, "I'll pick up what I have at the end! And let's turn it around!" And share the memories of summer. The nine of them are life-sized boys in the midst of youth. However, once the switch is turned on, it becomes a far distant existence from the actual age, and the mystery is the charm that only they have now.

They will perform their first outdoor one-man at the Hibiya Open Air Concert Hall on September 7, but since their tickets were sold out on the same day, it was decided to hold an additional one-man at the Osaka Castle Open Air Concert Hall on August 20. ing. Currently, the music videos for the songs on the album that are being released on YouTube are attracting a lot of attention from overseas, and SUPER ★ DRAGON is expected to expand its range of activities in the future. The live performance of the day will be broadcast on the CS Tele morning channel in September, so please check out their high-level performance there as well.
