In celebration of KENTO NAKAJIMA 1st Live 2025 N/bias, Dumpling Box hosting a giveaway with a selection of goods from the tour!
Followed by Kento Nakajima’s debut album N/bias, his first solo live concert, “KENTO NAKAJIMA 1st Live 2025 N/bias,” at Ariake Arena in Tokyo took place from January 17th to 19th. In an earlier interview, Kento shared his thoughts and aspirations for this new phase of his career.
Reflecting on his decision to embark on a solo career, Kento explained, “After launching my fan club ‘I AM:U’ in April, I felt a deep sense of gratitude and support from my fans. I wanted to give back to them immediately, and I realized that the best way to express my current musical identity would be on a live stage.“
The title of his debut album, “N/bias,” signifies a desire to break free from preconceived notions and evaluations. He explained, “I want to give shape to the words, melodies, and ideas I have now. Most importantly, the concept is to break through my shell as a human being and present my true self.“
When asked about his approach to creating music, Kento revealed, “I’ve been creating music in my current environment, and I’ve realized that giving shape to the words, phrases, and melodies in my head is one way of breaking free from my shell. Instead of following a predetermined path, I want to create my own and run on it. By sharing this process with my fans, I believe it will change the way they listen to music, broaden their perspective, and deepen their appreciation for my music.“
He also expressed his excitement about sharing his personal emotions through his music. “I’m not afraid to show my natural emotions,” he said. “I want people to accept my thoughts first. I want to express that I’m living this kind of life right now and thinking about these things through my music.“
As for his upcoming live concert, he expressed a desire to create a memorable experience for his fans. “I haven’t seen my fans in a long time, so I want to create something that will make us all even more excited,” he said. “I want to show my fans a new side of myself and create a live performance that doesn’t just end within the venue.“
He further expressed his desire to share his music with a wider audience. “First of all, I want to be heard in this archipelago. I want to convey it to this archipelago. ‘They’re doing amazing music in Japan.‘ I hope to be noticed from overseas as well. Of course, I have the goal of expanding into overseas entertainment.“
While acknowledging his Japanese roots, he emphasized his intention to maintain his identity. “Of course, I won’t forget that I’m a samurai. I’ll keep my sword. I won’t put down my sword and eat hamburgers. I’ll face the overseas stage with a Japanese soul.”
Looking ahead, Kento expressed his aspirations for his solo career. “I want to create music that can be heard both domestically and internationally,” he said. “I want to be recognized as an icon of Japanese pop.”
It was also announced that Kento will embark on a nationwide tour too!
