IU spent special moments with her fans in Japan during the ‘2024 IU HEREH WORLD TOUR CONCERT IN OSAKA’ held at ASUE ARENA OSAKA from the 6th to the 7th.
Returning to Japan after her concert in Yokohama in March, IU opened with ‘Holly’ and showcased a lovely chemistry with local child dancers. The local fans, filling the seats, responded with cheers of joy and excitement.
During the encores, on the first day, she performed ‘I Give You My Heart,’ ‘Dear Name,’ ‘Voice Mail,’ ‘You Know,’ and ‘Palette.’ On the second day, she sang ‘Good Day’ (Japanese version), ‘Someday,’ ‘Pink Shoes,’ ‘Knees,’ and ‘Palette.’ ‘Voice Mail,’ a track from her first Japanese mini-album released in 2013 and later included in her third Korean studio album, received an enthusiastic response.
Additionally, IU sang a short Japanese version of ‘Good Day’ in response to the fans’ sing-along event, which was met with explosive cheers.
The concert also showcased a heartwarming interaction between the artist and her fans. The fans sang along to all the songs in Korean and highlighted key segments even for songs without official fan chants. They also prepared surprise slogan events and actively participated in flower-giving events, creating an energetic atmosphere.
