KARA ends their first solo concert in Japan in nine years with powerful and moving performances

After almost nine years, the group KARA has successfully ended their first solo concert in Japan.

On the 24th and 25th, KARA performed a solo show in Osaka, Japan, titled "KARA THE 5th JAPAN TOUR 2024 'KARASIA'" (henceforth referred to as "KARASIA").

KARA, who had not met with local fans under the "KARASIA" banner for almost nine years, proved once again how strong they are as Hallyu queens by performing a medley of their 17-year career's best hits.

The Japanese rendition of "WHEN I MOVE," the lead single from their special 15th anniversary album "MOVE AGAIN," opened the show. With a mix of well-known songs from Korea and Japan, the group kept the place hot, playing hits including "Lupin," "Pandora," "Honey," "Pretty Girl," "JET COASTER LOVE," and "GO GO Summer!"

After separate solo performances that emphasized the distinct appeal of each member, KARA played the lead song "I Do I Do" and the B-side "HELLO" from their most recent album. During the rendition of "HELLO," featuring the late Goo Hara, six microphones were strategically positioned on stage, creating a poignant moment for the enthusiastic audience.

With renditions of "Mamma Mia," "Mister," and "Happy Hour," KARA brought the event to a thrilling climax and increased the atmosphere in the space. Their encore lineup included "SOS," "Rock U," and "STEP," providing a stunning coda to the evening's performance.
