[EXILE TRIBE]84 people from 12 groups, the largest number in history, gathered at Yanmar Stadium Nagai in Osaka! A total of 42 songs with lots of treasure collaborations will be performed! ! "LDH LIVE-EXPO 2024-EXILE TRIBE BEST HITS-"

On October 26th and 27th, the live event “LDH LIVE-EXPO 2024-EXILE TRIBE BEST HITS-” (hereinafter referred to as “LIVE EXPO”) featuring all members of EXILE TRIBE will be held at Yanmar Stadium Nagai, Osaka. It mobilized a total of 115,000 people including viewers.

This performance was created as a new concept live performance in which a total of 12 EXILE TRIBE groups gathered and performed hit songs one after another under the production of the members. From the five members of EXILE TAKAHIRO and EXILE THE SECOND to the fresh faces of the NEO EXILE generation, the group looked back on the history of the EXILE TRIBE group in a luxurious live performance lasting three and a half hours.

Although there were some concerns about the weather on the day of the performance, blue skies could be seen between the clouds at the time of the performance, and the stadium’s outdoor stage was greeted with comfortable weather. The person who opened this big event was MIYAVI, a surprise guest. After a roar that seemed to pierce the sky due to their exciting guitar playing, the members of THE RAMPAGE first appeared on stage as fireworks exploded. The song they started singing was “AKANEGUMO,” a song written under the name of EXILE TRIBE for this performance. EXILE TRIBE members appeared on stage one after another and connected their microphones to the lyrics full of quotations that symbolized each group, and each time a roar of cheers filled the stadium. As the excitement still waned, the big fireworks were set off again, and this time, EXILE TRIBE’s anthem “24WORLD”, which has been sung from generation to generation, was performed in full chorus by all 84 members who filled the stage. It was a truly LDH-like beginning, raising the voltage of the venue right from the start, uniting the hearts of 50,000 people.

From here on, the performance continued non-stop, and immediately began the hit song medley that was the highlight of the event. The first thing I heard was the intro to “RYUSEI.” After the third-generation J SOUL BROTHERS (hereinafter referred to as the third-generation JSB) sings one chorus, THE RAMPAGE members reappear on stage, and the three vocalists sing together. During the interlude, there was a performance by Running Man with all two groups side by side, and the audience was excited by this special arrangement that could never be seen anywhere else. From there, GENERATIONS’ “AGEHA” began in quick succession, and FANTASTICS members and LIL LEAGUE performers collaborated, enlivening the audience with their performance as they all ran around the stage. Next, EXILE SHOKICHI, ELLY and Ryuji Imaichi from Sandaime JSB, Rikiya Okuda from BALLISTIK BOYZ held the microphone for PSYCHIC FEVER “Just Like Dat feat. JP THE WAVY”, which can be said to be the top hit song of this year, and Takanori Iwata and others. Reo Sano and Shin Hasegawa also participated in the performance. THE RAMPAGE “100degrees” featured powerful singing by ØMI and EXILE NESMITH, and THE JET BOY BANGERZ performers performed a dance showcase during the interlude. FANTASTICS “Flying Fish” was sung refreshingly by BALLISTIK BOYZ and KID PHENOMENON members. Regardless of the group they belong to or their seniors or juniors, the unpredictable stage continues. EXILE members returned to the stage amidst the echoing cheers and sang “VICTORY” together with Jr.EXILE members. Just like “EXILE LIVE TOUR 2010 “FANTASY”” held at the stadium 14 years ago, a powerful chorus echoed through the venue.

Then, as it gradually got darker outside, BALLISTIK BOYZ reappeared on the dimly lit stage. Their representative R&B number “Animal” was performed. After the main vocalist, many performers such as SHOKICHI, Kazuma Kawamura (THE RAMPAGE), and Yusei Yagi (FANTASTICS) took to the stage, showing off their perfect physical beauty. After a dark scene, Ryuto Kazuhara and TAKAHIRO appeared and began singing “Love You More.” Following the two, Ryota Katayose and Hokuto Yoshino (THE RAMPAGE) joined in and gently sang GENERATIONS’ representative ballads. After a dark scene, MIYAVI’s Spanish guitar performance and EXILE performers EXILE AKIRA, Tachibana Kenchi, and EXILE TETSUYA’s passionate dance led to EXILE’s hit song “Ti Amo.” Along with NESMITH who carried a guitar and Imaichi who played the piano, vocalists such as RIKU (THE RAMPAGE), Souta Nakajima (FANTASTICS), and Konatsushi (PSYCHIC FEVER) sang soft and passionate songs. Next, Sandaime JSB’s debut song “Best Friend’s Girl” is a collaboration with Kazuhara and Katayose of GENERATIONS, who previously sang this song with Imaichi and ØMI as a theme song for “VOCAL BATTLE AUDITION 2″. These are all precious stages that can only be seen at “LIVE EXPO.” In front of the dizzying sights, the audience in the stadium continued to respond with cheers as if desperately trying to hold on.

Before we knew it, it was completely dark, and the lights were shining brightly, and the live performance began with a collaboration part by members of NEO EXILE. First, it started with LIL LEAGUE’s latest funky tune “Youth Spark,” followed by KID PHENOMENON’s “Proof of Existence,” which delivered a refreshing sense of speed, and WOLF HOWL HARMONY’s groovy “Frozen Butterfly,” before ending with THE JET BOY BANGERZ performs “Jettin'” fearlessly and powerfully. There was also a scene where AKIRA joined in during the dance break and stole the cheers. In the end, they excited the entire stadium with their call and response, and brilliantly showed off their presence as a new generation group.

Next, we went back in time and moved on to a medley of EXILE’s famous songs from the early days, which can be said to be the starting point that led us to this place. First up is the well-known representative song “Choo Choo TRAIN.” In addition, there was a scene that symbolized the history of EXILE TRIBE, with members from a wide range of generations coming together and becoming one with the EXPG dancers who are creating a new future. Next, for “Together,” Katayose, Yoshino, and Yagi all appeared, and then Iwata, who is also active as a soloist, joined as a vocalist and sang the famous song. It was a moving scene that left me wondering who could have imagined such a scene. Following “Carry On” sung by TAKAHIRO and BALLISTIK BOYZ’s Ryuta Hidaka and Yoshimasa Kano, another important piece of history will be traced: the inheritance of the “J Soul Brothers.” The song “Fly Away” released in 2000 was sung by the former 2nd generation JSB and 3rd generation JSB. As he was about to leave, SHOKICHI shouted, “This is the second and third generation J SOUL BROTHERS!” For fans who knew about that time, this moment must have been tear-jerking. Furthermore, in the next song “Someday,” Iwatani, Urakawa, Fujiwara, Fukahori, Sunada, and others who appeared as kids dancers in the “Children’s Ver.” MV that was planned at the time of release appeared, and EXILE members and Go on stage with FANTASTICS performers. The entire venue was filled with warm cheers as the lively performance of the “now” boys was shown on the monitor, along with footage of them when they were still young. This “nostalgic video collaboration” continued after that, and first, GENERATIONS’s Hayabusa Komori appeared with the video of “Okazaile”, a collaboration with Ninety-Nine’s Takashi Okamura, which excited the venue, and TAKAHIRO and Jr.EXILE members sang “WON’T BE LONG”. Show off. In the heartwarming performance, which showed each of them as kids admiring EXILE, we once again got a glimpse of the depth of their history. During the next killer tune, “Ki・mi・ni・mu・chu,” the members got down to the audience seats to communicate with fans, and the performance was filled with smiles everywhere.

After the scene went dark, the cityscape at dusk was displayed on the monitor, and Taiki Sato, Keito Kimura, Itsuki Fujiwara, and Iwata, who are also known for their acting careers, appeared and mesmerized the audience with their melancholy expressions. Along with the sound of fireworks, Yagi and Yuhi Uhara began singing “Fireworks,” a famous song by JSB III. From here, it becomes a medley of hit ballads. “Sora” by GENERATIONS expressed a magnificent world view with the addition of SHOKICHI’s piano, Naoki Kobayashi’s dance, and the beautiful chorus of WOLF HOWL HARMONY, which includes members of DEEP SQUAD. Following THE RAMPAGE’s “MY PRAYER”, following the singing of the three vocalists, the duo of LIL LEAGUE’s Sena Iwaki and Ryudai Nakamura, who sang this song in the past “iCON Z” audition, appeared, much to the excitement of the fans. After that, the stage was once quiet, and the sad piano tones resounded, and the moment TAKAHIRO, ØMI, and Kawamura began to sing were illuminated, a roar of laughter rose from the venue. The song that was sung was EXILE’s famous song “Fate no Hito”. Fans held their breath as they watched the symbolic collaboration between the three, who are known for their deep brother-like relationship, and then gave an admiring cheer and applause.

Then, the second half of the live show finally arrived, and just as the show was about to change, a skit video of each member of TRIBE getting excited was played, and the atmosphere suddenly became more relaxed. However, from there, the show moved on to one of LDH’s major features, a heated battle of performers in which a total of 65 people competed against each other. After SWAY, who appeared as a special guest, excited the audience with DOBERMAN INFINITY-style excitement, EXILE TRIBE performers appeared one after another in a lively atmosphere. While EXILE TRIBE’s songs were playing, all the leading actors showed off their performance skills and expressiveness to the fullest. A gorgeous dance show unfolded that left no time to catch your breath.

From there, the event finally reaches its climax. From the moment sparks rose from the stage and the intro sounded, the song that was greeted with loud cheers was “HIGH&LOW” series theme song “HIGHER GROUND”, which was performed for the first time in a while. From there, the hot dance music that led TRIBE to success continued with 3rd generation JSB’s “ORION”, THE RAMPAGE’s “16BOOSTERZ”, BALLISTIK BOYZ’s “PASION”, PSYCHIC FEVER’s “BAKU BAKU” and FANTASTICS’ “OVER DRIVE”. The excitement in the audience was at its peak. During the dance part of GENERATIONS’ famous song “Evergreen 2.0ver,” there was a moving scene in which former support members joined in and formed a circle. The concert ended with a series of party tunes that everyone couldn’t help but dance to: “Rat-tat-tat” by Sandaime JSB and “Going Crazy” by EXILE THE SECOND. They ran all the way to this point without letting up the audience’s enthusiasm for a moment.

In the MC before the last song, TAKAHIRO said, “I would like to express my sincere gratitude for being able to meet so many people at this stadium in these difficult times. I’ve come this far through friendly competition with the members. Today, I feel like this live was finally completed with everyone’s smiles and cheers!”, he expressed his feelings.

The last song that began after TAKAHIRO calmed everyone down by saying, “It’s all over now!” was “Rising Sun,” an anthem filled with hope for the future. The event concluded with a powerful and gorgeous performance by EXILE TRIBE, a total of 84 members including NEO EXILE.

However, the party is not over yet. After 5 huge announcements, including a 4-day year-end event, GENERATIONS’ new project, Kazuma Kawamura’s solo debut, 2025 THE RAMPAGE live tour, and EXILE’s live tour, the event began with an encore. This is a hot medley from the “24karats” series, which can be said to be EXILE TRIBE’s tradition. Starting with “24karats GOLD GENESIS” which was officially inherited and released by THE RAMPAGE this year, followed by “24karats -type Jr.EX-” by Jr.EXILE, and then “24karats” in which all the groups were on stage and the third generation JSB and GENERATIONS were active. “STAY GOLD” to “24karats TRIBE OF GOLD” delivered by the three EXILE vocalists, they delivered a performance with all their heart and soul, accompanied by the familiar flames.

Regarding the holding of this “LIVE EXPO”, EXILE NAOTO said in an interview just before the event, “As an artist who specializes in live performances, his past history and various hit songs, and his desire to perform. LDH should be expressed in this live show. When I thought about uniqueness, I thought that these things should be the core.” Regarding the content produced by the members, ØMI said, “In this era, which is said to be the boy group Sengoku period, when I looked at the songs that LDH has made so far and considered their strengths, I felt like I was able to reaffirm their strengths. I believe that by performing this live in front of everyone, I can present my aspirations as an artist in this era.” Regarding this performance, which was EXILE’s first stadium live in 14 years since EXILE’s 2010 tour “EXILE LIVE TOUR 2010 FANTASY,” he said, “It’s a cycle of our dreams, or rather, the members who have challenged and made their dreams come true are here today. I am deeply moved that by performing, I was able to create a live performance that gives the next generation of EXPG students hope and an image of the future that they will be able to come back to in 10 or 15 years.” .

True to their words, on this day, EXILE TRIBE’s history as well as their greatest strengths, which are their tremendous live performance, production ability, and passion, were showcased on this stadium stage.

“The smiles on everyone’s faces were truly amazing. Thank you!” TAKAHIRO’s MC said, followed by MCs from each group’s representatives. ØMI said, “I could see everyone’s smiling faces from the stage, and it made me feel really glad that we held this EXPO. Thank you very much!” Katayose said, “I was able to make the best memories with everyone, thank you very much.” Thank you very much to all the seniors and juniors of LDH, as well as the fans, for allowing me to perform on such a big stage.
