EXILE THE SECOND: Osaka Finale
EXILE THE SECOND brings its PERFECT YEAR BEST tour to Osaka-jō Hall, closing Osaka’s Sonic September and wrapping up their five-show arena run with two nights in Osaka.
EXILE THE SECOND isn’t simply stopping in Osaka. They’re saving the best for last.
The five-member group closes its PERFECT YEAR BEST ～Born To Be Wild～ tour with two performances at Osaka-jō Hall on September 26 and 27. After opening at Shizuoka’s Ecopa Arena in June and continuing with two shows at LaLa arena Tokyo-Bay in August, Osaka gets the final weekend — and the final two performances — of the entire five-show arena run.
The tour arrives as part of LDH PERFECT YEAR, a celebration staged every six years across the entertainment company’s family of artists. For EXILE THE SECOND, the concept is a BEST LIVE rather than a tour built around one album, opening the door to music from across the group’s career. LDH is billing it as a major party built around the five current members: EXILE AKIRA, EXILE TETSUYA, EXILE NESMITH, EXILE SHOKICHI and Kenchi Tachibana.
All five have deep connections to EXILE itself, but THE SECOND has developed its own identity around a harder-edged mixture of dance music, R&B and arena-sized performance. The group traces its origins to THE SECOND from EXILE in 2012, before adopting the EXILE THE SECOND name in 2016.
There’s fresh music in the celebration too. On June 17, just three days before the tour opened, the group released “SAME OLD” and “Alive.” The former is an anthem for adults who refuse to use age as an excuse, while “Alive” takes a more reflective route through hardship toward hope.
That sentiment fits a veteran group heading into a BEST tour particularly well. This isn’t a retrospective designed to put EXILE THE SECOND behind glass. The new songs sit alongside the catalog, while five performers with years of shared history are still taking the production into arenas.
And Osaka gets the ending. The September 27 performance isn’t merely the second night at Osaka-jō Hall — it’s the final show of the entire tour.
Two nights. One final weekend. And Osaka gets the last dance.
