PLAVE successfully brought to an end its first world tour stop in Japan, titled “2026 PLAVE World Tour [KEEP IT MANIC] in Japan,” which took place in Tokyo over two days on September 26 and 27 via shinkansen.

The group began the concert with the title track “The 6th Summer” from their 1st Mini Album 『ASTERUM：The Shape of Things to Come』. They then performed their Japanese debut song “かくれんぼ” followed by “WAY 4 LUV,” the title track from their 2nd Mini Album 『ASTERUM：134-1’, to further ignite the enthusiasm of the fans.

In the latter part of the show, they performed songs from their 4th Mini Album 『Caligo Pt.2』 such as “Blossom Parade” and “HMPH!（feat. SOLE）” for the first time in Japan. The members also delivered heartfelt solo performances that moved the audience deeply. YEJUN covered “Close To You” by The Carpenters, NOAH performed “Good Boy Gone Bad” by TOMORROW X TOGETHER, BAMBY sang “Sherlock（Clue + Note）” by SHINee, EUNHO covered “TASTE” by JUNNY, and HAMIN performed “Spider” by HOSHI (SEVENTEEN), each shining on stage.

Additionally, they unveiled reworked versions of “Watch Me Woo!” and “Chroma Drift” for the first time during this world tour, delivering special performances. At the end of the concert, they performed “Flame（feat. Milet）,” a collaboration with singer-songwriter Milet released on September 3, for the very first time worldwide, leaving the fans deeply moved.

After the concert, at the audience’s request for an encore, PLAVE returned to the stage. There, they performed “Star Trace,” the title track from their upcoming 5th Mini Album 『HYPERDRIVE』 set for release on October 12, for the first time in Japan.

Following the performance, EUNHO said, “I’m truly happy to be able to stand on stage in Japan again like this.” HAMIN expressed gratitude by saying, “I’m so happy we could laugh together here. I was really glad to meet all of you.” NOAH said, “It felt warm knowing our hearts seem to have reached PLLI fans. Thank you for all your love.” BAMBY shared her thoughts by saying, “I think it’s amazing that we can become one through music, even if we speak different languages or are apart.” YEJUN revealed his affection for fans by saying, “We will go wherever PLLI fans are, wherever you call out to us.”

The concert concluded with a repeat performance of their debut song “Wait for you,” ending on a deeply emotional note.
