Embracing both light and shadow, WANIMA sings of "Bunkiten" at the final "Sorry Not Sorry" tour show
The final performance of WANIMA's hall tour, "'Sorry Not Sorry' TOUR," was held on June 27 at Pacifico Yokohama National Convention Hall in Kanagawa.

An even stronger WANIMA
"'Sorry Not Sorry' TOUR" was a tour WANIMA held from April to June of this year, supporting their EP "Sorry Not Sorry," released last December. Having grown even stronger as a live band after their two-and-a-half-year tour "Catch Up TOUR -1 Time 1 Chance-" from March 2022 to November 2024, WANIMA delighted fans throughout all 18 shows of this tour with soulful performances and a setlist that wove together tracks from "Sorry Not Sorry," the venue-exclusive EP "Bear Book," and live staples.
The final performance began right on time. Signaled by KENTA's (Vo, B) declaration, "The 'Sorry Not Sorry' TOUR final is now underway!", WANIMA immediately kicked off with the EP's title track, "Sorry Not Sorry." After instantly raising the audience's excitement with a cool guitar riff and a fresh sound, they followed with "Focus on me," a track with an intense yet somehow wet and sorrowful texture, and the upbeat "Natsuake," a series of songs perfect for a humid summer day.
Kumamoto love sparks

What particularly caught the audience's eye during the performance was KENTA's hair color. It is still fresh in fans' memories that he drastically cut his long hair last year, but that short hair turned a vivid neon green midway through this tour. Like fluorescent paint that glows under a blacklight, it brightly marked KENTA's location even in the darkness, as if to prove his existence. During an MC, KENTA enjoyed interacting with the fans, asking questions like "Are there people from Yokohama?" and "Anyone from outside Yokohama?" before playfully laughing and prefacing, "We're actually from Kumamoto. Is it okay if we sing a song in Kumamoto dialect next?" He then passionately sang a passage from "Do Gang" a cappella. From there, the trio unleashed their Kumamoto love with a booming low end, and FUJI (Dr, Cho) concluded the song by forcefully striking a giant gong.
Afterward, KENTA led the crowd, saying, "Try screaming 'Ahhh!' with all the feelings you can't usually say!" and screams filled with various emotions echoed throughout the venue. As the sense of unity heightened, KENTA called out to the audience, "This is a live show! For today, at least, you're free to have fun!" and roused himself, declaring, "We're going to hit you with WANIMA of 2025!" Looking eager, the trio powerfully performed "Genkou" as if to inspire the crowd.
Thoughts for his mother and grandmother
In the middle of the show, KENTA quietly spoke about his upbringing and complex family environment. With a slightly lonely expression, he remarked, "My childhood was just waiting around," but then showed a bright smile as he explained that meeting people who are like family, such as the band members and their support team, made him realize how important their existence is. He then addressed those in similar situations, saying, "This might be a harsh thing to say, but 'You're not the only one.' I believe you can grasp happiness for yourself." Following that MC, WANIMA performed "Mother," a song KENTA wrote about his mother before their debut. He then added, "I'll sing this for my grandma. I want everyone to listen while thinking of someone important to you," before gently singing "Sonzai," a song released as a digital single this March that expresses his feelings for his late grandmother. In 2014, WANIMA also released "1106," a message song KENTA sent to his late grandfather.

Afterward, as if to blow away the somber atmosphere, WANIMA performed the melodic punk tune "EASY PUNK" from "Bear Book" and, due to a mishap, improvised "Iikara," which was not on the setlist. Then, they performed "Tsuki no Soba de," a song that is both passionate and moving, before dropping "BIG UP," a live staple among WANIMA fans. They delivered a fiery performance befitting a live band, greatly exciting the audience. KENTA couldn't help but exclaim at the floor's frenzy, "Why do live shows get this hot!" and, with that momentum, energetically performed "DISCOVER," a track from "Sorry Not Sorry." The last song of the main set was "Ranran Rhapsody," the theme song for episode 6 of the live-action drama "【Oshi no Ko】." With this catchy melody shining through its intense, hardcore-style sound, KENTA delivered a soul-filled shout.
A haircut before the encore

For the encore, KENTA appeared on stage slightly behind KO-SHIN (G, Cho) and FUJI, having just gotten a haircut backstage from Mr. Numata of MERICAN BARBERSHOP. In front of fans surprised by this novel attempt, KENTA hyped them up, asking, "Can the second and third floors see!? Does the new hair look cool!?" WANIMA then performed "Rolling Days," a song with a youthful sound. He expressed his reluctance, saying, "To be honest, I don't want this tour to end," but also looked ahead, stating, "But we have to move on to the next thing!" Then, as if for a final spurt, WANIMA delivered back-to-back performances of "Odoru Yoru" and "Tomoni." While expressing his gratitude to the members, staff, and audience, KENTA said, "I feel like my gloomy feelings have cleared up. This was a very, very important tour. We'll definitely meet again," and moved into the last number, "♡Dear Me♡." As smoke spread at the members' feet, KENTA's gentle vocals layered over the soft melody, filling the venue with a moving atmosphere to end the live show.
After the live show ended, a music video for the song that had been used as the walk-on music for the tour was screened, and the song's title was revealed to be "Bunkiten." Coinciding with the end of the tour, "Bunkiten" was digitally released, and its music video, starring actor Kengo Kora, who is also from Kumamoto, was released on YouTube.
