The dynamic show “King & Princeとうちあげ花火” which synchronised the music of King & Prince with tonnes of gunpowder was held at the ZOZO Marine Stadium in Chiba on the 15th and 16th of November. They brought their music along with colourful fireworks to approximately 60,000 Tiaras!

The fireworks display began with “LOVE HACKER“. As the big screen counted down, fireworks exploded in the evening sky, instantly raising the excitement in the venue to a fever pitch. From dreamlike songs to pop tunes, the group performed a succession of songs, accompanied by fireworks whose launch and flight time were meticulously calculated. The venue also premiered “Theatre“, a new song from their seventh album, “STARRING“.
Before their final performance, both reflected on their journey so far and expressed their gratitude to Tiara. Kaito commented, “These last two days have been filled with the encouragement I’ve received from King & Prince‘s songs. I think it’s been great once again,” while Ren added, “Above all, it’s wonderful to be able to enjoy it with everyone. We’ve worked hard together until now.” During the final song, “WOW,” the biggest fireworks of the day were launched from behind them as they sang, bringing the two-day performance to a close.
During the broadcast of the show on the screens surrounding the stadium, many fans were also able to see Kaito‘s tears of emotion, which he later explained amid feelings of shyness and happiness.

When them was asked by the press, “Rumour has it that someone cried yesterday…“, Kaito blushed and replied, “Yes, it was me.” He mentioned “Kimi ga Iru Sekai” the song that closed the fireworks show, as his favourite, and explained the reason for his tears: “I usually cry when I sing this song, but I realised once again how precious this moment is to watch the fireworks with everyone.” He continued, “I reaffirmed my love for King & Prince‘s music and felt the need to protect it. Despite my decision, I found myself crying. Before I realised, I was crying.“
Ren, who was watching Kaito from the sidelines, said with a big smile, “That was really funny,” as he watched his partner cry, then Kaito replied, “Don’t say other people’s tears are funny!” demonstrating their good relationship and chemistry one more time.
The venue was lit up with 13,000 fireworks, the launch time and duration were carefully calculated, and the world they created around them thrilled all his fans who were there.
