NCT Yuta capped off the finale of his first solo concert tour at Japan's Budokan.
Yuta's first solo tour in Japan "YUTA LIVE TOUR 2025 -PERSONA-" took place Jan. 21 at Tokyo Budokan, and as this was his first entry onto a stage regarded as a sacred venue for performances in Japan as a solo artist, he received intense attention from local fans.
Through this tour, Yuta successfully completed 14 shows in 10 Japanese cities—starting in Tokyo on Oct. 2 and including Kyoto, Hokkaido, Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Sendai, Ishikawa, Hiroshima, Hyogo, Kanagawa, and Tokyo Budokan—once again building a solid solo career locally.
At this performance, Yuta showcased powerful vocal stages including his solo debut song "Off The Mask," "EMBER," "New World," and "Two Of Us," as well as melancholic emotional stages like "TWISTED PARADISE" and "TO LOVE SOMEONE," proving his musical identity as a rock artist once again through a 19-song setlist.
He also added a special touch by performing a cover of Japanese rock star HIDE's "GLAMOROUS SKY" for the Budokan show, and closed the tour energetically by singing the upbeat encore songs "Get Out Of My Mind" and "BAD EUPHORIA" with the audience.
After finishing the tour, Yuta said, "I'm happy to be able to perform at Budokan, and I sincerely thank the fans who filled the seats. I always think the audience is the final piece of the puzzle for a performance. Thank you for completing each show so wonderfully during the first tour. It was truly a meaningful time, and I will continue to work hard and show you my activities going forward."
Meanwhile, Yuta plans to open a personal YouTube channel on Jan. 30 and continue diverse communication with fans.
