Wez Atlas, whose activities are gaining momentum after releasing the EP “ABOUT TIME” last November and the single “My Village (feat. Skaai)” in January, will release his first album on Friday, January 24th. One-man live “Wez Atlas LIVE 2025 “ABOUT TIME”” will be held at Shibuya WWW, Tokyo. The event ended on a high note with fans gathered at the venue.
When the show time arrived, they started with “Intro”, which is also included in the EP “ABOUT TIME”. After the sound effects mixed with various noises, they performed “One Life,” which became a hot topic at “FLASH THE FIRST TAKE” last year. The memorable phrase “It’s better to try and fail than to be disappointed if you don’t try” drew the audience in at once, and the performance continued with “Echo”, “Zuum!”, “TIMM”, and “PSA”, an arrangement unique to a band arrangement. .
After saying in the MC, “I’ll do things I don’t usually do (because it’s a one-man live),” he performed “Mystery Train,” a song he collaborated with Helsinki Lambda Club on. Next, they performed “RUN”, showing Wez Atlas’ rock side in the first half.
Then, they invited Sagiri Sól as a featured guest and performed “(DADADA) Day Ones”. The audience danced along with them, and in a danceable atmosphere, they performed “Parachute” and “FUN+Games,” followed by “Pink Lemonade” from their first EP released as Wez Atlas, followed by “Dandelion.”
“One of the solutions is one way to solve that problem,” he continued, “It Is.” Performance of “What It Is”. Wez Atlas’ unique style of connecting messages from the MC to the songs excited the audience.
This was followed by “Damn!” and “Me Today,” and then they performed “Summit” on stage without the band members. The MC said, “Last year, there was a time when I couldn’t enjoy music.But at that time, I continued to move forward and found the power that I found.That’s what ‘Summit’ is. There are moments when I feel like it, but if I lose the feeling of love, there are times when I can’t move forward. Let’s all keep our sense of fun and playfulness in mind,” he said, and performed “Tokyo Dreamz.” .
They invited Skaai on stage as a guest and performed “My Village (feat. Skaai),” “Life’s A Game,” which started with a cappella, and “Feel It Now” from their latest EP. As the second half approached and the up-tempo songs such as “40℃ colder” and “Glow” continued, the excitement in the venue reached its peak.
The last track is “Focus” which was also the lead track of the latest EP. He shared a straightforward message with the audience and left the stage. During the encore, they performed “One Life” with the MC saying, “I’ll do my best for everyone who gathered today. I want to release more songs and see you again live.” The venue was filled with loud applause, and the curtain came to a close on his first solo live performance.
