Furui Riho, Zepp Tour Sapporo Performance Report: His current location was a sight to behold while thinking about the past

Furui Riho’s first Zepp tour, “Furui Riho Zepp Tour 2025 “Vloooooom””. The success of the Yokohama performance on Monday, March 14th gave it a boost, and on Tuesday, March 29th, the finale was held in his hometown of Sapporo, Hokkaido.

With the hopes and excitement of the crowd of audiences, Furui, Hanabusa Yuuki (Key.), Sakamoto Haruka (Gt.), Naoki Kobayashi (Ba.), Mori Masato (Dr.), and Ma-chang (Cho.), who is also Furui’s younger sister. With huge cheers erupted, the opening was with the upper tune “PSYCHO,” and the venue’s voltage kept top gear from the start with a series of up-tempo songs such as “pink hair” and “I can’t say it.” The claps erupted in response to the aggressive and powerful singing voice of the “green light,” and Furui screamed with a smile, “Sapporo, that’s weird!”, cheers swelled even louder and the venue shook.

“In a note from six years ago, I wrote, ‘I’m going to the Zepp Tour!’. That dream came true today!”

The audience, who was able to witness the realization of their dreams, responded with almost slaughtering applause and cheers, and joy spreaded. With tears in her eyes at the venue with deep love, she said, “Today, I would like to perform a live performance while thinking about what has happened so far,” and her next song was the live anthem “Do What Makes You Happy.” As members of SUPER GHETTI, a band they once played with, watched at the venue, they were grateful that “they were there, so I am the one who I am today,” and performed with the band sound alone, just like the arrangements they had at the time. The band sang in a relaxed manner, filling the venue with a happy mind.

The venue is captivated by the lights sparkling like a starry sky, with the ballad number “bumpy” and the “SAPPORO TOKYO” sings the days of moving back and forth between Tokyo and Sapporo in laser production, while the venue is captivated by the changing speeds. Then we went to “Rebirth” with the words “This is the song that started.” The song, which sang a breakaway from Furui’s past self, which was a turning point for Furui, responded with warm cheers that seemed to embrace the past and present, and Furui was moved by the unstoppable applause, and she burst into tears with a smile.

In the middle of the live show, “Till The End” will feature Jazadocument, a secret guest based in Sapporo, who will be showing off his versatility in beatmaking and video production.
The lyrics of “lol fans” were converted to “lol fans” towards the audience filling the venue, accelerating momentum. The excitement in the venue was also heated up as he performed with his allies who have also worked on many Furui music videos. Jazadocument tells Furui, who has both decided to take the Zepp stage and has kept their schedule for a year now, saying, “I’ve been almost crying since the time of “Rebirth.” Furui expressed his gratitude, saying, “The important person who supported me in Hokkaido,” and the warm cheers enveloped the two of them continuing their friendly exchange.

Next is the annual solo live performance challenge corner. Furui has been taking on a variety of challenges, including singing and singing, gospel, and dancing, and this time he is taking on drums! His younger sister Ma-chang was selected as vocals, and the band members shuffled the instruments and performed the collaboration song “APT.” between Bruno Mars and BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ. As the cheers swelled up at Ma-chang’s vocals, Furui also brilliantly defeated him, and the audience was excited.

After a hugely successful challenge corner, the killer tune “We are” and “Super Star” sparked a clapping, call and response with the comical performance surrounding Hanabusa Yuuki, and the live show finally reached its final stage.

“The six “o” that were linked to the tour title “Vloooooom” are the number of band members. They’ve always supported me when I became homesick in Tokyo,” says Furui. Looking back on her former self, who she had feared for breaking up, she said, “As we live our lives as our motto, I thought that deep love is the only thing that can be celebrated by goodbye,” and sang the pop tune “Tomorrow” that expresses feelings for our friends. The venue was even closer to the stage, and the singer-long sang “LOA” and finally “Purpose” to sing the main story with a smile.

After a passionate encore that never ceases, Furui and the band members appeared again. With all her body happy during the encore, the series of happy announcements spread, including a web commercial for Ayumu Imazu x Furui Riho’s Uniqlo “UT”, the opening theme song for Kyoto Animation’s new TV anime, and a live announcement at Escon Field HOKKAIDO. And along with the drum roll, the announcement was made of his biggest nationwide tour, Furui Riho Live Tour 2025 -Dear my friends-, which travels around 12 locations across the country. He reported that he would travel to Hokkaido in three locations: Hakodate, Otaru, and Sapporo, and promised to meet again, but the first encore song he performed was his new song, “MONSTER.” This song is a new program “San!!” that will begin on the Fuji TV network. The ending song for “Shine” was a catchy and cute pop song that colorfully colored the venue, and the new song was well received.

“Today, I was able to perform live in my hometown thinking about what had happened so far. I am grateful that I have been able to perform live performances from a small box at such a large venue, with the help of many people up until now,” says Furui. “I was thinking about making music for myself, but recently I’ve started to want to make music for everyone,” the last number was “Your Love.” No matter how big the venue was, the sense of unity embodying that our relationship with the audience will remain forever intimate, while the entire venue was filled with euphoria with its relaxed vocals and groovy band sound.

Finally, Furui expressed his great gratitude and love to the band members, the team who created the stage, including lighting and sound, and the venue with smiles. “Vloooooom” at the Furui Riho Zepp Tour 2025 “Vloooooom”” in Sapporo, where he pondered his past and showed off his current location.
