Background

edit

In April, 2022 it was announced that Onew would be making his Japanese debut releasing his first Japanese studio album on July 6 and that he would be embarking on his first Japanese tour on July 8. Six concerts were originally planned, covering four cities.[1] Two additional performances were added later to accommodate demand, taking place on September 10 and 11 at Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo.[2]

At the concerts, Onew performed all the songs from Life Goes On and at his concert on July 9, at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Onew performed his cover of "Uroko" live with the original singer Motohiro Hata as a suprise performance.[3][4] On September 9, Onew released his Japanese digital single titled "Dance Whole Day" which was specially prepared to be performed at his last additional concerts.[5] Also in addition to the setlist, the concert had a request corner where Onew sang fan-requested songs a cappella.[6] The last concert of the tour was broadcast live on TBS Television.[7]
