On 16th December (Fri) at Yoyogi National Gymnasium, CNBLUE’s final concert for < CNBLUE Winter Tour 2011 ~Here, In my head~ > was held.

They held their last indie live at Yokohama Arena in September, 2011. The tickets for that concert were sold out in less than 1 minute, and the expected value of them is quite big, like it’s almost bursting. By 10am of the day, many fans rushed towards the venue and made long lines at the goodies selling corner. There was a tremendous air of excitement prior to the concert.

The concert started with an original intro that was composed by YongHwa, the guitar & vocal of CNBLUE.  Shortly after, CNBLUE appeared on the stage, and roaring cheers echoed all around. Then, the songs from the beginning made the audience heated up to the boiling point. During “Now or Never”, “LOVE” and “Intuition”, all fans held up their hands, then during acoustic session, members ran across the audience seats and moved to the sub stage that was placed at the back of the audience seats. They performed in the way that made you feel their street live performance during their indie time.

“We used to perform live at Yoyogi Park, which is situated next to this venue, with a few instruments like this. We recall that time. We are full of emotion because we can appear on the stage of Yoyogi National Gymnasium that we have yearned for since that time.”

At last, they performed their debut single “In My Head”, which is a rock number that they are good at, with great passion. The main performance finished with 13,000 audiences singing passionately and also with fire thrown off from the stage. During encore, they performed the first verse of their second single “Where You Are”, which will be released on 1st February, 2012 as a surprise gift to fans. They ended the concert with “Try Again, Smile Again”, of which they put cheering message for Tohoku area that suffered from earthquake.

They played 25 songs including encore, and heated 13,000 fans who gathered into the venue with passionate performance that literally “they gave everything into”. The final concert of their first tour after the major debut turned out to be extremely successful.
