WINNER’s Long-Awaited Japanese Comeback
On September 28, 2025, K-pop boy group WINNER made a highly anticipated return to the Japanese stage with their “2025 WINNER CONCERT [IN OUR CIRCLE] IN JAPAN” show in Kobe. It marked their first Japan performance in nearly six years—and fans made sure it felt like no time had passed.
Back With the Classics—and a Bang
The concert kicked off with roaring cheers as the four-member group stormed the stage, launching straight into a power trio of hits: “REALLY REALLY,” “LOVE ME LOVE ME,” and “I LOVE U.” The crowd? Fully unhinged—in the best way.
As the show progressed, WINNER kept the energy high with fan-favorite tracks like “EVERYDAY,” “ISLAND,” and “MILLIONS.” And just when you thought they were done, the encore hit even harder—cue “MOVIE STAR” and the TikTok-viral “DON’T FLIRT,” sending the audience into a final frenzy.
From Ballads to Solo Breakouts
Their 21-song setlist wasn’t just a nostalgia trip—it showcased the group’s musical range. Ballads melted hearts, solo stages spotlighted individual charm, and Japanese-language tracks reminded fans of WINNER’s deep connection with their Japanese audience.
This Tour Hits Different
This wasn’t just another concert series. The group personally contributed to the staging and production, infusing the show with extra heart. Kicking off in Seoul from July 25–27, the “IN OUR CIRCLE” tour is a special project shaped by WINNER’s own vision—and it shows.
Fans in Tokyo, mark your calendars. WINNER will hit TACHIKAWA STAGE GARDEN on September 30, with a rare daytime show still offering a few precious tickets. The evening show? Already sold out, of course.
If you can’t snag a ticket, there’s always the beat to fall back on. Their new release, “THE BEST OF WINNER LIVE,” a compilation of hits from past concerts, is out now. Think of it as the setlist’s greatest hits album—perfect for blasting while you mourn the end of tour season (or hype yourself up for it).
