SEKAI NO OWARI end their first set with the English version of Dragon Night. The beat is really loud and heavy and goes straight through the body. The group’s songs have a power that captures the audience. DJ LOVE knows how to start a party, and Saori and Nakajin show their talents on various instruments. Overall, the music of the first part can be described as EDM meets pop. The band are performing this song in English especially for the event. Meanwhile, the lights project large question marks across the stage. Death Disco keeps up the happy beat, albeit with more of an edge. Having set this gloomy atmosphere to match the décor, SEKAI NO OWARI then make a complete 180-degree turn and continue with the light and danceable Mr. The dark lyrics are accompanied by a heavy beat and catchy melody, although some eerie minor tones also feature. The band walks onstage and start off with one of their newest songs, ANTI-HERO, the theme song of the movie “Attack on Titan”.
The venue darkens, train sounds are heard and out of nowhere, rain and thunder erupt across the hall. On both sides of the stage, the lyrics of the songs are shown to assist everyone’s understanding. The second part is for the Japanese fans. The first part is focused on the international audience who are attending Tokyo International Music Market ( TIMM), with songs sung in English. The atmosphere continues into the hall, where the lights are dimmed and there’s a huge banquet onstage. To reach the main hall, concertgoers must walk through a large old gate into a dark room, the walls of which are decorated with paintings of “zombified” band members whose eyes moved every once in a while. The band always strive to create a world within their concerts, and in keeping with this show’s Halloween theme, SEKAI NO OWARI had turned the venue into their own ghost house.
For fans, this was a rare opportunity to see the band in a more intimate setting. However, this Halloween saw them performing at the comparatively small ZEPP DiverCity. SEKAI NO OWARI is a band you nowadays find playing some of the biggest arenas in Japan.
