access showcases history and evolution at 10th-year 'ELECTRIC NIGHT'
access held a solo concert on June 24 at KT Zepp Yokohama in Kanagawa.


This performance was the finale of their "access ELECTRIC NIGHT 2025" tour, which began on April 13 at Zepp Haneda (TOKYO) in Tokyo and spanned 12 locations nationwide. For the two members of access, this tour could be described as special. This is because the tour series titled "ELECTRIC NIGHT" celebrated its 10th year. "ELECTRIC NIGHT" is a tour format where the two members perform live by themselves, unlike a typical band setup. Because "ELECTRIC NIGHT" allows for a high degree of freedom in performance, unbound by a set lineup, the arrangements and staging continuously evolved with each show, starting from the first day at Zepp Haneda. As Asakura mentioned on stage, befitting the phrase "the ultimate electric music session," this tour utilized a sound that was generally upbeat and danceable, interweaving varying tempos, creating a live experience that felt as if one had wandered into a large club.
Nostalgic yet new sound with a fresh update



As the house lights went down, a trance-like electronic sound echoed. Red and blue lights crisscrossed, and as the beat's tension gradually built, the venue's energy surged. When the "ELECTRIC NIGHT" sign behind them began to flash intensely, the two members of access appeared on stage. Hiroyuki Takami (Vo), dressed in a black suit, and Daisuke Asakura (Key), coordinated in black and pink, stood in their positions as if to acknowledge each other. The first song was "ELECTLIC☆NIGHT," which could be called the tour's theme song. From there, they launched into the second song, "Blaze of liberation," with an urgent rhythm, intensifying the venue's heat.
Following the sexy "STONED MERGE," introduced by Takami with the words "starting with a slightly mysterious feel," the duo once again swept the audience into a whirlwind of rich electronic sound with "REALTIME LOVER." access debuted in 1992 and went on hiatus three years later in 1995. However, since their revival in 2002, they have actively released music and toured, deepening their bond with fans more than ever. Following an MC where they said, "From here, it's nostalgic, but not just nostalgic," they delivered a string of hit numbers in the middle of the set. The crowd went wild with the call-and-response in "DRASTIC MERMAID," followed by "NAKED DESIRE" which incorporated a rap section, and the classic sentimental summer song "ENDLESS SUMMER ~Kimi ga Nijinda Natsu~." The venue erupted with excitement at the nostalgic yet new sound, freshly updated.
Delivering one killer tune after another


"Sync Parade" began with Asakura spectacularly pounding on the electronic drums. The audience jumped along to the high-energy sound. Asakura hyped up the crowd, shouting, "Let's all sing together!" leading into a massive singalong of "primitive heart." When the duo left the stage, a dark, piercing, beep-like synthesizer sound rang out, gradually transforming into a hard electronic sound reminiscent of minimal techno. If the atmosphere before was like a large club, this felt more like an underground, niche club.
Returning to the stage, they immediately performed "Only the love survive," seamlessly transitioning into the techno-pop-style "US" and then "Especially Kiss," which featured guitar tones and handclaps, continuing with different types of songs without any sense of awkwardness. During "Wild Butterfly," set to a spacey techno sound, Asakura egged on the crowd with synth sound effects while Takami sang and danced fiercely, exciting the audience. The pair delivered one killer tune after another, with the high-BPM, upbeat "Beyond the Second-D." and their hit song "MOONSHINE DANCE," which was boldly rearranged with noisy sounds. Takami's dancing and high-toned vocals grew even more intense, while Asakura moved freely across the stage, making full use of his shoulder keyboard. During the driving four-on-the-floor dance number "arc jump’n to the sky," silver streamers shot out from cannons, adding a spectacular touch to the song. For "Eien dive," the members and audience waved towels together in excitement, and the main set concluded with a great sense of unity.
A grand finale with a non-stop medley



Answering the call for an encore, the duo reappeared on stage and, in a complete change from their edgy performance, engaged in an exchange that was almost like a comedy sketch. Yet, even in the snippets of their humorous conversation, their deep affection for the 10th anniversary of "ELECTRIC NIGHT" and their gratitude to the fans who have supported them for these 10 years were evident. The encore was a non-stop medley of "AGAINST THE RULES," "LYIN' EYES," and "NIGHT WAVE." In a mash-up style where the preceding and following songs blended exquisitely, the venue heated up once again, and the live show reached its conclusion in an atmosphere befitting a grand finale.
After the show, it was announced that a video of this performance would be streamed on Niconico Live Broadcasting starting at 5 p.m. on July 6, and the dates for their autumn tour, "access TOUR 2025 AUTUMN-WINTER," were also revealed, drawing huge cheers from the audience. With positive messages like "Please continue to support us!" and "Let's create a bright future together!", the two members of access reluctantly left the stage.
