Taiwanese fans moved to tears; Japanese band UVERworld promises dedicated concert

Japanese rock band UVERworld has expressed their eagerness to hold a solo concert in Taiwan, stating they are "ready at any time." The band members were deeply moved by the passionate and emotional response from their Taiwanese fans during their recent performance at the "CENTRAL" urban music festival. Guitarist Koya noted that Taiwanese fans have been incredibly supportive, preparing cheers and flags, and that many fans, both new and long-term, were moved to tears during their shows. He described Taiwanese fans as having an open attitude towards Japanese music and their performances. Koya also praised the Taiwanese fans' Japanese language skills and their engagement on social media. Despite Taiwan sharing Chinese characters with Japan, the band members admitted to facing humorous challenges with ordering food online, sometimes receiving unexpected items. Reflecting on the band's 26th anniversary, drummer Shintaro stated that the band feels as energetic as the 26-year-old jo0ji performing alongside them. He views the past 26 years as largely happy and meaningful. Koya shared a touching story about his father, who, despite rarely attending performances, secretly supported him by collecting his CDs and magazines. Shintaro's father, a drummer himself, initially hoped his son would become a baseball player but was proud to see Shintaro perform as a drummer at the Tokyo Dome. The band also mentioned upcoming collaborations and expressed interest in discovering Taiwanese artists.
