[BALLISTIK BOYZ]First Taipei fan club event! Performing 13 songs including the new song “HIGHER EX”

BALLISTIK BOYZ, a seven-member dance and vocal group from LDH, held their first Taipei fan meeting, “BALLISTIK BOYZ ~1st FAN MEETING IN TAIPEI~ “Together”,” at Taipei CLAPPER STUDIO on Sunday, June 23rd.

In February of this year, they held a fan event at LaLaport Taichung to celebrate the release of EXILE AKIRA TALK SHOW & BALLISTIK BOYZ NEW AL “Back & Forth”. They made their comeback after about four months and held their first solo event in Taipei. They performed a total of 13 songs in front of Taipei’s BALLY’S (fans).

The first song was the title track of the single “HIGHER EX” released on Wednesday, May 22nd this year. The performance was energetic and fitting for the opening, captivating the audience. The song was written and composed by members Fukahori Miku, Okuda Rikiya, and Matsui Toshiki, and directly conveys the determination and spirit of the seven members moving forward. “HIGHER EX” is also the title of their ongoing tour, and it expresses their strong desire to “aim even higher” as they hold their first concert at Nippon Budokan on Wednesday, November 6th this year. Next up was “We never die,” an insert song from the movie “HiGH & LOW THE WORST X.” The members and the audience became one as they waved their hands and clapped along to the rhythm.

They performed a high-energy performance of “Ding Ding Dong,” “Most Wanted,” “Front Burner,” “Make U a Believer,” and “PASION,” one after the other, and the audience erupted in cheers.

During the MC, each member greeted in Chinese. Bilingual Masahiro Sunada spoke to BALLY’S in English, saying, “We hope you guys gonna like it,” and performed the R&B number “Animal,” instantly filling the entire venue with an adult mood. Next, they performed “In My Head,” which was released in February this year and was also performed at a fan event in Taichung. They performed emotional songs one after another, captivating the venue.

Towards the end of the show, they performed “Meant to be feat. F.HERO & BOOM BOOM CASH” and “Drop Dead feat. TRINITY”, collaborations with Thai artists, in succession, completely changing the atmosphere of the venue. The overwhelming performance filled the venue with positive energy.

During the talk portion, fans who won a lottery were asked to say what they would like each member to say in Taiwanese, and the members would answer the questions, as well as play games and take part in a gift corner, allowing them to interact with fans in Taipei.

During the encore, BALLISTIK BOYZ performed their summer staple “SUMMER HYPE.” The refreshing summer tune perfectly expressed the bright image of the group, bringing smiles to the audience’s faces. The final song was a mid-tempo ballad called “All About U,” which describes the emotions of a person who is reminded of their feelings after meeting someone they’ve loved for the first time in a long time. The venue was filled with a warm atmosphere as the show came to a close.

Member Hidaka Ryuta expressed his feelings to the fans, saying, “Our dreams are your dreams, and your dreams are our dreams. So, we would like to continue to work together with everyone in BALLY’S and work hard towards our dreams, so see you all again! Thank you so much!”

The event ended with them saying “I love you” in Chinese. As the title of the event “Together” suggests, it was an event that made you feel BALLISTIK BOYZ’s desire to aim for further stages together with fans from all over the world, including Taipei. We can’t take our eyes off their future activities.
