Asia tour success has taken the Japan-based idol group &Team to new heights this summer. The group recently concluded its first full Asian concert tour, which drew major attention from fans and media across the region.
To begin with, the tour kicked off in May in Aichi, Japan, and spanned over two months. During that period, &Team performed 14 shows across nine cities. Tour stops included Tokyo, Fukuoka, Hyogo, Seoul, Bangkok, Jakarta, Taipei, and finally, Hong Kong.
Each concert delivered high energy and sharp production. The show’s concept, titled “Awaken The Bloodline,” featured storytelling based on the group’s “Wolf DNA” universe. As a result, with cinematic stage direction and dramatic visual effects, the performances immersed audiences in &Team’s fictional world.
Notably, the final stop took place at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong last Saturday. The concert sold out and ended the tour on a high note. In total, the group performed in front of approximately 100,000 concertgoers.
Due to overwhelming support, &Team is already planning encore concerts. Specifically, these will take place at Saitama Super Arena in Japan on October 25 and 26. The venue holds around 20,000 people, making it the group’s largest stage so far.
Originally, &Team debuted under Hybe Labels Japan on December 7, 2022. Since their debut, the group has gained popularity in both Japanese and international markets. Furthermore, their fanbase continues to grow with each new release and performance.
The group has nine members with diverse backgrounds. Six are Japanese, while one member is Korean, another is Taiwanese, and one is Japanese German. They were formed through Mnet’s “I-Land” and Hybe’s follow-up series “&Audition – The Howling.”
Importantly, &Team blends the K-pop training model with J-pop cultural elements. This approach gives the group a distinctive style and wide appeal. Their performances highlight synchronized choreography, strong visuals, and powerful concepts.
Ultimately, Asia tour success has established &Team as one of the most promising new acts in Asia. With encore shows on the horizon, fans are eager for what comes next.
