In November 2023, Kevin Woo (ex-U-KISS member) announced his “KOSMIC” Japan Tour starting in Osaka on 27 January 2024 and ending in Tokyo on 14 February 2024. I missed the opportunity to go for this Japan concert last year as it was announced with too little notice. However, this time, the announcement came much earlier, giving me ample time to make plans so I was … Continue reading Kevin Woo ‘KOSMIC’ Tour Japan 2024

I found out that my U-Kiss boys, Kiseop and Hoon were having a mini live and hi-touch at Aeon Mall Zama on 24 June 2018 to promo their 1st single “Train / Milk Tea”. Aeon Mall Zama is in the Kanagawa Prefecture and about 2 hours away from Metropolitan Tokyo.

Kevin announced in March 2017 that he would depart from U-Kiss after his contract ended. And despite the fact that he was no longer contracted with NH Media and no longer a part of U-Kiss, he participated in a series of concert in Japan to mark his departure from U-Kiss and to say a final goodbye to KissMes on 24 & 25 April 2017 at … Continue reading U-Kiss Premium Live – Kevin’s Graduation in Yokohama, Japan 2017 Post Mortem
This is probably something that is unique to concerts in Japan; there is usually a hi-touch or handshake event after the evening concerts. I didn’t managed to get a ticket to the handshake event on the 25th November. I was mentally prepared to not be able to see them U-Kiss boys up-close during this trip but it must be fate because I managed to score a ticket for … Continue reading U-Kiss Hand-Shake Event in Hachioji Tokyo 2016 Post Mortem
U-Kiss did a special “U-Kiss Japan Best Live Tour 2016” concert tour on 25 & 26 November 2016 at Hachioji Olympus Hall, Tokyo to celebrate their 5th anniversary since their debut in Japan. Being a massive fan, I had to attend this; I would not miss this for the world! Since I flew all the way to Tokyo for this, I had to attend all 4 … Continue reading U-Kiss Japan Best Live Tour 2016 5th Anniversary Special Post Mortem
I went to both shows of the U-Kiss One Shot Tour in Tokyo held at Nakano Sunplaza on 22 July 2016. There was a hi-touch session after the evening concert but unlike that during the “Action” Tour last year, access to the hi-touch session was via a lottery. Each fan is only allowed to buy a maximum of 6,000 yen (~S$ 80) worth of albums and … Continue reading U-Kiss One Shot Tour Hi-Touch in Tokyo 2016
The Suwon Kpop Super Concert on 17 & 18 June 2016 was the real reason why I went to Seoul recently, not MAP6; even though I kept seeing them over the 5 days I was there (which I am totally not complaining about). My friend wanted to go see U-Kiss at the Suwon Kpop Super Concert and she talked me into going with her to … Continue reading Suwon Kpop Super Concert 2016 Post Mortem
A trip to Seoul is never complete without trying to watch one of them music countdown chart shows live as an audience in the studio. 🙂 Since I bumped into my MAP6 boys, I decided to try to watch them perform live in closer proximity ahead of the Suwon Kpop Super Concert where they were also performing. Compared to the last time I watched MTV … Continue reading Watching M! Countdown Live As A Studio Audience
I recently went on a 10-day trip to Seoul for the U-Kiss “Stalker” comeback alone and it was to-date, the most memorable U-Kiss centric trip by far. The moment I landed in Seoul, I found out about their first fansign event in support of their 11th mini album “Stalker”! Needless to say, I had to try my luck and thankfully, I managed to get into … Continue reading U-Kiss “Stalker” Fansign Event in Seoul 2016
