Aimyon to hold "AIMYON TOUR 2024-25 "Dolphin Apartment"" Final! Additional show "AIMYON TOUR 2024-25 "Dolphin Apartment" -Additional Show-" will be held from April! Preliminary distribution of "Sketch" will also be available!

On February 13, Aimyon held the Osaka leg of their "AIMYON TOUR 2024-2025 "Dolphin Apartment"" at Osaka-jo Hall. This was the 30th stop of the arena tour which started from La La arena in Chiba, Japan after the release of their 5th full-length album "Neko ni Jelasi" last September. Additional shows, including Taiwan and Korea, have been announced, but this was the final leg of the tour. This was also a memorable day for Aimyon, who will celebrate her 30th birthday on March 6, as it was her last live concert in her twenties.

Expectations were high for the stage set featuring a hanamichi built in the middle of the venue. As the first song "Rhythm 64" began, Aimyon jumped out from the center of the hanamichi and appeared on stage as the fantastic SE flowed out with blue lighting reminiscent of the sea in reference to the dolphins! The audience was suddenly filled with excitement at this surprise performance, and a sense of unity was soon created as Aimyon, using a hand microphone, asked the audience to clap their hands. The audience communicated with her as she walked down the aisle during "Lucky Color," and when she returned to the stage, she clapped a tambourine and played an acoustic guitar to perform "Aini ni Iku ni" which was also sung at last year's "NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen" (NHK Red and White Singing Contest). It was a wonderful opening to the show, with a sense of spare but definite exuberance.

The setlist on this day was mainly from "Neko ni Jelasi" but included a wide range of songs, including the indie-era song "I want to be happy," which featured Yoshiyuki Yatsuhashi on banjo and had an impressive trad-folk feel. Whether it was "Anone," a song with a sense of scale sung on a stand mic with Fumihiro Ibuki on drums, or "Matryoshka," in which Yoshiyuki Yatsuhashi and Qurosawa played an emotional guitar solo, the band members, who have shared the stage for a long time, were in perfect harmony. Aymyon sang and performed as if she was leading the members, which was very encouraging. During the binoculars corner, which is a familiar sight of the audience, the audience gave a heartwarming "Thank you, Aimyon, for keeping the music going! A heartwarming scene was also seen during the binoculars corner, in which the audience said, "Thank you, Aimyon, for continuing your music!

In the middle of the live, bassist Keisuke Ijima, keyboardist Kenta Yamamoto, and percussionist Shinji Asakura gathered in the center of the flower aisle with Aimyon to start an acoustic corner. The audience imitated cats' meows during "Neko ni Jelasi," and Aimyon and Ijima competed to see who could play the bird call, an instrument that makes a sound like a bird's call, better than the more passionate band set. When the three support members left the aisle and Aimyon was left alone, she performed "Naked Heart". In the pitch-black venue, Aimyon, alone in the spotlight, sang emotionally, and the venue was filled with applause.

The MC asked about the age range of the audience, and the audience was treated to a scene unique to the Kansai region, where Aimiyoon found her mother in the audience at Hansel Cafe, a coffee shop near Koshien that is well known among fans as the place where she used to go when she was a student. The drone flew over the wide space of Osaka-jo Hall during "Let me see you" with Aimiyoon running around with a hand microphone, and the place went wild again during "Mashimaro" When the MC looked back on this tour and announced that they would sing the theme song for "Doraemon the Movie: Nobita's Picture World Story" at the Hiroshima concert, When he recounted a memory of the audience being as happy as he was, he said, "It was a tour that made me realize once again how important the place of live performance and the presence of everyone are to me, as I realized that everyone is always near me on various milestones and anniversaries. Please continue to support me as I turn 30 years old!The song "Ai no Hana (Flower of Love)" was performed after he said, "I love you," which literally created a space filled with love.

Finally, the live was coming to an end. When the audience sang "Kimi wa Rock wo Kikanai (You Don't Hear Rock)" to a moving chorus, Aimyon, with a towel wrapped around her neck, got fired up once again and ran around the floor offstage, high-fiving the audience. The center of the aisle rose up during "Yume Ori Bengal," and the singers looked like glamorous rock stars as they sang on the aisle. On the other hand, in "Zarame," the lyrics of which were projected on the screen, Aimyon sang raw words about herself with a profound performance, showing her solid growth as a performer through her 20s.

The last song of the day was "Aoi" (Aoi), which ended the show with the song, "Let's meet again, I'm still TADAIMA, I'll save a place where I can say I'm home. We had the best finale ever! and thanking the audience once again, she said, "I'm still coming to see you all," and left the stage saying, "We're looking forward to seeing you again! Aimyon's first live concert in her 30s, which will start with "Doraemon the Movie," will be held in Taiwan, out of Japan.
