June 26-27, YOASOBI and Rina Sawayama Guests
Group NewJeans' fan meeting at Tokyo Dome in Japan sold out all seats.
On the 14th, their agency ADOR announced that tickets for both sessions of NewJeans (Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, Hyein)' fan meeting 'Bunnies Camp 2024 Tokyo Dome' held at Tokyo Dome on June 26-27 were completely sold out.
NewJeans' entry into Tokyo Dome came just 1 year and 11 months after their debut. This is the shortest period recorded for an overseas artist after debut. In particular, it is a very rare case for a group that has not yet officially debuted in Japan to fill Tokyo Dome so quickly.
The status and influence of NewJeans in Japan have already been proven through various stages. Last August, they performed on the main stage of Japan's representative music festival 'Summer Sonic,' where their noon performance at Marine Stadium drew such explosive reactions that audience admission was restricted faster than any other in the festival's history.
Additionally, NewJeans was invited to Japan's largest year-end music festival 'Kohaku Uta Gassen' to perform a special stage and delivered a full performance of three songs at the year-end 'Japan Record Awards' stage.
NewJeans will release their Japanese debut single 'Supernatural' on June 21. This single includes the title track 'Supernatural,' the B-side 'Right Now,' and instrumental versions of each song, totaling four tracks.
'Supernatural' credits global pop star Pharrell Williams. This song reinterprets Pharrell Williams' ad-libs and bridge from his 2009 collaboration with Japanese singer Manami, 'Back of My Mind,' into a new jack swing style produced by 250. 'Right Now' was partially revealed on May 9 as a commercial CM song.
At the Tokyo Dome fan meeting, NewJeans plans to perform 24 songs, including four new tracks to be released in May and June. Also, Japanese mixed duo YOASOBI and singer-songwriter Rina Sawayama will appear as special guests.
With various collaborations, NewJeans is promising an unprecedented Japanese debut. Along with news of collaborations with cultural and artistic masters such as Murakami Takashi and Hiroshi Fujiwara, excitement is rising with a large photo of NewJeans displayed at Tokyo’s major shopping mall Shibuya109 and the opening of a pop-up store.
NewJeans will release a new double single 'How Sweet' on the 24th and make their comeback first in Korea. The music video for the pre-released track 'Bubble Gum,' released on the 27th of last month, topped the YouTube Korea weekly popular music video chart (tracking period May 3 to May 9) for two consecutive weeks. It is also maintaining a high position on the global weekly charts.
