On November 1st, the 5th anniversary of the group’s formation, the 7-member dance and vocal group GENIC will hold the Tokyo performance of “GENIC LIVE TOUR 2024 -if-” at TOKYO DOME CITY HALL, and will return to Japan next November. They have announced that they will hold a live performance at Budokan and will release their fourth album in February.
In 2024, 3rd AL “N_G” won first place on Oricon Daily, and as for individual activities, Atsutaka Masuko appeared as Haku in the London performance of “Spirited Away”, and Ryuuki Koike composed songs for many artists. GENIC is further expanding its range of activities by providing
Meanwhile, this tour, which began in September of this year, was the group’s largest ever, featuring 7 concerts in 7 cities and attracting approximately 15,000 people. Since its formation, the number of live performances has exceeded 50,000 people.
As the tour title “if” suggests, the theme of this performance is to enjoy together the world of Kokoro Odol “What if” with the music played by GENIC.In a set reminiscent of a board game, this performance will introduce the mass of the game of life through a live performance. It is a playful entertainment show that performs various songs while progressing.
In the middle of the live performance, three songs were performed, starting with the single “FUN! FUN! FUN!” which was released for the first time on October 30th, followed by “LifE!!” and “Sorry not sorry”, which have been released consecutively since July. GENIC’s “POP&COOL” performance will be showcased in consecutive performances, with an explosive range of movement.
In addition, three groups, “Atsuki Masuko & Ryuki Koike”, “Sho Amemiya & Mari An Kanaya & Tsutomu Nishizawa”, and “Mayo Nishimoto & Yuri Ui” performed unit songs, ranging from nostalgic J-POP duos to highly difficult dances. The composition incorporates many new songs, including a trio, a male-female unit that delivers an answer song from the previous work, and a performance that brings out the worldview of “if” with the unique development of the unique members. It made me excited.
During the MC, many voices of congratulations rose from the audience as they celebrated their 5th anniversary.
They released part of the music video for their new song “FUN! FUN! FUN!” and announced at the end of the video that they would be releasing their fourth album “if” on February 5, 2025 (Wednesday).
Koike expressed her thoughts on the album, saying, “I’m glad I was able to make a special announcement to everyone on the day of our 5th anniversary, so please look forward to it!”
Then, during the encore, a video was projected on the screen behind them saying, “The time has finally come to announce this!” and it was announced that a live performance at Nippon Budokan would be held on November 5, 2025 (Wednesday), with the largest capacity ever. , the venue was filled with thunderous cheers.
The members themselves decided to perform at the venue, which was one of their goals, and Nishimoto said, “We started at a live house with 100 people, but after 5 years, we can finally stand at Budokan. Thank you so much! There’s still more to come. This is a challenge, so please continue to lend us your support!”, he sent a message expressing his determination to Budokan and his gratitude to the fans.
Masuko expressed her gratitude to the audience, saying, “There were times when things didn’t go well from the start, but I feel like I’ve been able to steadily climb up to the big stage with everyone, and I’m grateful for that.” Even if that happens, we will continue to move forward until we reach the continuation of our dreams. Let’s push forward together until that day,” he said, promising the audience even more dreams.
Furthermore, all the members formed a circle on the stage, and the members’ shouts and the audience’s cheers overlapped, and the venue became one.
GENIC’s new start begins here, as the road to Budokan, which was one of their goals, has been cleared. From the end of the year to 2025, we can’t take our eyes off GENIC.
