During the event, the group delivered a 40-minute talk session, performed the dance for the lead track of their upcoming album, “Crazy Crazy,” and sang “Fly Higher,” the theme song for the anime member Noel is voice acting in. The archive has been split into three partsโtalk section and performancesโand uploaded simultaneously.
In the talk, the members broke a traditional kagami-wari1 sake barrel, reflected on their two years since debut, and announced a nationwide arena tour to promote the tour and album “VIIsual.”
For those who missed it or want to watch it again, this is a must-see!
During the anniversary stream, Noel was sadly absent due to poor health, and the members kept his positions in the song open as if he was there, and left his vocals in the songs too.
For “Crazy Crazy,” the boys didn’t sing live but instead, they performed a high-energy dance performance that left the audience buzzing with excitement; just like the title suggests, it was nothing short of crazy! The song is not only great for showcasing the group’s incredible skills but also serves as a vibrant act that highlights the pure and endless joy they emit while performing. Each intricate move synchronized with the infectious rhythm of the song creates an exhilarating atmosphere that resonates deeply with fans. You can’t help but be pulled into the mood and energy, feeling the beats reverberate through your body, encouraging you to let loose and simply go crazy. This song is surely to be a hit among fans when they perform it during their upcoming tour with penlight waving in sync, making the venue shake with excitement.
Despite Noel missing, when they performed “Fly Higher,” the group still highlighted his parts as if he were there, emphasizing the importance of them being seven no matter what. Leaving his vocals in, zooming in on his position for his parts, and simply standing in line and having his spot open only shows just how much they care about each other and how important each one of them is to the group. It not only reflected their deep bond but also served as a reminder to fans of the unity that defines their artistry. The energy of the performance was palpable, with the remaining members pouring their hearts into the song, ensuring that Noel’s spirit was felt throughout the performance.
Travis Japan has a variety of songs that showcase their singing brilliantly in different waysโlike “Together Now” and “Seasons of Gold“โbut “Fly Higher” especially shines with its roots as an anime opening, and the lyrics resonate not only with the boys themselves but with the listener too.
Vocally, it makes you so proud to hear the results of their vocal training and efforts, as each member showcases such stability and emotion through each note and intonation. Their vocal colors have always been unique and captivating despite some rough notes here and there during live shows. Together with the growing stability in their singing, Travis Japan just continues to fly higher with their skills and presence.

- The sake version of the ceremony (based on the original practice) involves presenting a wooden barrel ofย iwai-zakeย (“celebration sake”) to the celebrants at the beginning of the event. The round, wooden lid of this barrel (representing harmony) is then broken open with wooden mallets handled by VIPs (thus the event breaking open good fortune) and the contents then freely distributed among the participants. โฉ๏ธ
