Juice=Juice, exploding in popularity with "Moremi," breaks limits together with fans, aiming beyond Japan to the world
The final performances of Juice=Juice's spring tour "Juice=Juice Concert 2026 UP TO 11 MORE! / MORE! MORE!" were held on May 26 and 27 at Pia Arena MM in Kanagawa.
While the total number of views on SNS-related videos for the song "More! Mi Amore," released last October, has surpassed 600 million, Juice=Juice continues their rapid advance, demonstrating unrivaled performance skills through appearances on terrestrial TV programs and at music festivals. Capitalizing on this momentum, they plan to release an EP titled "MORE! MORE! EP" on June 24. The final performances of the spring tour, held amidst this, were sold out on both days, drawing approximately 18,000 people over the two days. This article reports on the second day.
As the start time arrived and powerful cheers arose from the audience, a member introduction video began, and the 11 members appeared on the center stage in white outfits. The first song they sang was the EP track "BLOODY BULLET." A number that combines the group's characteristic glamorous mood with momentum, it immediately enveloped the arena in the fans' loud cheers. Moving to the main stage from there, the 11 members fully displayed their outstanding vocal abilities in their signature song "'Hitori de Ikiraresou' tte Sore tte Nee, Homete Iru no?," which started with Ruru Danbara's solo, and further hyped up the venue with the powerful "CHOICE & CHANCE," where Rei Inoue's human beatboxing also exploded.
Juice=Juice stated that the theme of this tour is "breaking limits." Vigorously dancing to numbers like "Shinogo no Iwazu Satto Wakarete Ageta," which is also included in the EP, they sang powerfully and freely, with each member aiming for her own highest point. Furthermore, the members demanded that the audience also break their limits, asking, "Can you raise your voices without slacking off?" and raised the floor's voltage with a call-and-response. From here, the shuffle corner began. Ruru Danbara and Risa Irie, Sakura Ishiyama and Akari Endo paired up for "Samidare Bijo ga Samidareru," Rei Inoue and Yume Kudo, Kisaki Ebata and Mifu Kawashima for "Borderline," and Ichika Arisawa and Nia Hayashi, Ruru Danbara and Riai Matsunaga for "Noctiluca," firmly showing off their respective charms.
Changing their outfits and gathering on stage again, the 11 members performed the new song "Kura Kura ☆ Climax" produced by Kohmi Hirose. A pop number typical of Hirose, it is a killer tune where one can thoroughly enjoy the members' cute charm and vocal skills. Here, Sakura Ishiyama, who was entrusted with the MC, said, "They say if we break our limits, fireworks will fall from above!" and provoked the audience with, "Can you break your limits? Can you break them even more?" before rushing into "Fiesta! Fiesta!," with bursts of flame erupting on stage. While the arena was enveloped in excitement, the 11 members fired off a barrage of songs including the EP track "Amaenna," and dropped the highly acclaimed hit "More! Mi Amore" at the very end of the main part of the show. Pillars of fire continuously shot up on the stage, and the audience cheered with all their might. Naturally, it became tremendously exhilarating.
Of course, the live show didn't end there. Starting the encore with "Magic of Love," the members of Juice=Juice each put their thoughts into words. Nia Hayashi, whose joining was announced during last year's spring tour, commented on her joy that the members say "the 11 of us" and that the number "11" was included in the tour title. Kisaki Ebata told the fans, "You might think I can't see you, but I can! Truly!" and said, "It's possible that from now on, not in our hearts but physically, the distance might become farther, right? But with the current Juice=Juice, I truly think we can go to much, much bigger places, so I want to continue to do my best and push forward toward our dreams."
Also, Riai Matsunaga emphasized, "Recently, opportunities for many people to tell us 'Juice=Juice is amazing' have really increased. But you know, Juice=Juice has always been amazing. Juice=Juice has always been amazing, and Hello! Project has always been cool." She expressed her enthusiasm, "There are truly many times when I think doing your best doesn't mean you'll be rewarded, and effort doesn't mean it will bear fruit, but even so, I feel truly happy that these 11 members can make music together, and with the music made by Juice=Juice and the Family, I want to take on not just Japan's but the world's music industry."
Finally, after leader Ruru Danbara shared her goal for this year, saying, "I want to make it an unbelievable year," the 11 members resumed their performance aiming to break limits. Swinging their towels during "Mirai e, Saa Hashiridase!," they performed "More! Mi Amore" once more. Then, a production element that elicited even more frenzy occurred. Just as Sakura Ishiyama had hinted at during the mid-show MC, fireworks rained down from the ceiling, and the members and fans, having broken their limits, roared in a tremendous massive chorus throughout the arena.
Ahead of the EP release, "Kura Kura ☆ Climax," "Amaenna," and "More! Mi Amore" will be distributed in advance tomorrow, May 28 at 12 a.m.
