JYP Entertainment boy group NEXZ has passionately opened their debut live tour in Kanagawa, Japan.
On June 4, NEXZ (Tomoya, Yuu, Haru, Soken, Seita, Huey, Yuki) announced the start of their debut live tour 'NEXZ LIVE TOUR 2025 "One Bite"' at Kanagawa Cults Kawasaki. This meaningful first live tour, named after NEXZ, opened ticket sales for each city sequentially starting in March, and performances in Kanagawa, Saitama, Niigata, Shizuoka, Aichi, Okayama, Miyagi, Kyoto, Fukuoka, Tochigi, and Osaka recorded sold-out statuses.
At the first concert in Kanagawa, the seven members revealed themselves amidst a great cheer from the fans, showcasing the songs 'Simmer' from their mini album 'O-RLY?' released on April 28, along with the title track 'O-RLY?' to heat up the atmosphere. With 'NEXZ's journey' as the theme, this performance featured a variety of compositions, including a performance enhanced with special production and a talk corner highlighting the unique charms of each member, engaging with NEX2Y (fandom name: NEXTY). Additionally, they unveiled a new stage featuring songs from their second Japanese EP album 'One Bite', set to be released on July 16, which thrilled the audience. In closing the performance, they expressed, "We will continue to grow as a group while maintaining our unique colors, so we ask for your continued support."

Particularly, they will be proving their growth by entering Budokan, which has symbolic significance in Japanese pop music, about a year after their official debut.
Buoyed by the excitement of the tour, they will release their second Japanese EP album 'One Bite' on July 16. Recently, they revealed a jacket image and tracklist on their official social media channels that captivates with a chic mood and striking visuals. The new release includes a total of six tracks, led by the title track of the same name, 'BURNING BLACK', 'Make it Better', 'One Day', along with the Japanese versions of the mini album title track 'O-RLY?' and included song 'Simmer'.
