Japanese Idol KENTY Debuts Asia Tour Concert in Bangkok
Japanese idol Kento Nakajima, known as KENTY, launched his first Asia Tour concert in Bangkok with two performances at SiamPic Hall. He engaged Thai fans through Thai language greetings, mini-games, and special performances, expressing his love for the country and promise to return. The event was organized by AVALON LIVE and featured high-energy songs, retro costumes, and fan interactions.
The show opened with a VCR under the exciting concept: 'What if, 3,000 years ago in a past life, Kento Nakajima was also an idol...' Then the light from U:nity's lightsticks filled the hall, accompanied by the U:nity Call welcoming the appearance of IDOL1ST 'KENTY'.
KENTY debuted with a modern idol look, delivering energetic performances of SOL1ST, IDOLIC, and MONTAGE, then greeted fans officially, slipping in Thai: 'Do you miss me? I miss you too.' He then led the audience into an a cappella vocal segment before moving on to Celeste and Can't Stop.
From his limitless cool style, KENTY shifted to the HYPER Sexy Kenty Time, adding color and fun to the stage with songs Fiction Love, LIGHTNING, KAREKANO!!, and Saisho wa Kyun!, with U:nity's voices and chants echoing throughout the hall.
After enjoying the halfway point of the show, KENTY invited everyone to take a break from the heat and engage in a close chat with fans. He shared his experiences traveling to Thailand, including his busking stint in August last year, shopping trips, and meeting Thai artists and celebrities, which left him impressed and eager to return.
Overwhelmed by the warm reception, KENTY sweetly spoke Thai over and over: 'I miss you all, do you love me? I love you all. Are you ready? Did you have fun today? Can I come back? You're all so cute.' The fans melted.
He then moved into a mini-game where fans could win mango sticky rice by challenging him to say classic Thai phrases that even Thais find tricky, like 'Rayong Rayong Yala' and 'Grandma eats lychee, her saliva drips.' KENTY handled them with ease, pronouncing them clearly, and praised the mango sticky rice: 'It's delicious, super delicious.'
After refueling with mango sticky rice, KENTY returned to the stage to deliver a special show prepared especially for Thai fans, performing DAY ONE by PUN. The first line of his voice instantly captivated the entire hall.
He then brought everyone back into the idol world with songs ONIGOTO, Fatal, and APPETITE & ETIQUETTE, wearing retro Japanese costumes, before transitioning to tracks full of charisma and charm like XTC and Frequency, closing the main show with intense energy and performance that fully reflected KENTY's identity.
But the fun wasn't over yet—an encore was essential. KENTY returned to meet U:nity again, accompanied by
