[Bicke Blanca]The Tokyo performance of the “Knightclub” release tour will be held on Halloween. The audience, members, staff, and even the person themselves dressed up in costumes and enjoyed this wonderful day!


On October 31, 2024 (Thursday), the Tokyo performance of VK Blanka Hall Tour 2024 – Knightclub – was held at TOKYO DOME CITY HALL. This is the release tour for their new album “Knightclub”, which will be released on September 4th, and is the fourth stop in a hall tour that will include stops in Aichi, Hokkaido, Osaka, Tokyo, Miyagi, and Fukuoka.

This may be because fans are well aware that touring around Japan with a band is a valuable opportunity for Bikkeblanca, who has been frequently touring overseas on his own since 2023. TOKYO DOME CITY HALL is full. The enthusiastic audience, who filled the seats from the floor to the third floor, enjoyed Bikkeblanka’s performance.

Since this day was Halloween, Vickeblanca encouraged participants to dress up in costumes by selling “HALLOWEEN FACE STICKER” merchandise. Many in the audience came dressed in various costumes.

During the sound effects announcing the start of the performance, the band members also appeared in costumes such as Kyonshi and Dracula. The last to appear, Bikkeblanka, is wearing fox ears and a tail, and a red contact in one eye. The staff (roadies) who sometimes appeared on stage were also dressed as Alice or Shocker, as if to make sure they were careful.

During his overseas tours, Bikkeblanka places equipment such as synths and pads around himself in the center of the stage, and performs there, operates the equipment, and occasionally steps forward to play the guitar while performing live. is being carried out. Incorporating this form, his formation on this tour is to place synths and equipment on the left and right sides of a stand in the center of the stage, and perform while standing between them.

The setlist is centered around songs from their new album “Knightclub,” including “Snake,” “Never Run,” “High Love,” and “Old Rivals (A Self-Cover of “Rivals!”).” While singing while hitting the pad in a fixed position, moving around the stage with a hand microphone, going to the front and playing the guitar, singing loudly while playing the piano (keyboard), etc., the audience changes their expression in various ways depending on the song. Bikke Blanca continues to fascinate people.

A song in which Bikkeblanka and the audience continue to interact, a song in which hand claps and towel twirling spread throughout the audience, a song in which Bikkeblanca continues to wave politely in all directions of the audience in the middle of the song, and a break in the second half. The lead vocal was left to the audience, and the song had a loud sing-along, and even though it looked like he was just talking, the MC made you laugh for some reason–not just the vocalization and performance, but the moment. Watching them live, you can clearly see that they have clearly improved and become tougher as performers through their experience of overseas tours, including their facial expressions, movements, and demeanor at that moment.

I can’t do many things; all I can do is write songs and perform live as hard as I can, but if I keep doing that, I can improve my level, see new scenery, and convey new things. I think so. This year, our 8th anniversary, we will start something new and do our best to keep everyone excited and say, “Next time, we’ll do something like this!” or “We’ve created a song like this!”.

In the MC before the last song of the main story, Bikkeblanka declared this, and once again expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you very much for today, it was Bikkeblanka!” He also expressed his love, saying, “LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!”

There are only two remaining dates on this tour of “VK Blanka Hall Tour 2024 – Knightclub -”: November 23rd (Saturday/holiday) at Talknet Hall Sendai Main Hall in Miyagi, and December 8th (Sunday) at Fukuoka International Conference. Main hall. And on December 27th (Friday), “VK Blanka presents RAINBOW ROAD-號-” will be held at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA in Tokyo.

Two days later, on December 29th (Sunday), Vickeblanka’s appearance at “RADIO CRAZY”, which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, will be held at Intex Osaka, and will be Vickeblanka’s last stage performance of the year.
