Shocking turnout in Tokyo — rapper-producer Zico successfully wrapped a solo concert in Japan's capital to a full house.
On February 7, Zico took over Keio Arena Tokyo with his '2026 ZICO LIVE: TOKYO DRIVE' show.
It was his first solo concert in Japan in about eight years since the 2018 'King Of the Zungle' Tour in Tokyo. Tickets sold out the moment they opened, proving the explosive local demand.
Launching the night on a car-themed stage set, Zico kicked off with the hip-hop track 'Artist.' He then fired up the crowd with consecutive hits including 'Boys And Girls,' 'Any Song,' and 'Ggan Naniya,' and delivered a special moment by switching to a Japanese-language chorus during 'I Am You, You Are Me.'
His collaboration stage with YOASOBI vocalist Ikura on the single 'DUET' drew massive cheers for its bright, bubbly charm. Answering thunderous encore calls, Zico dominated the finale with 'Okey Dokey,' 'Turtle Ship,' and 'Say Yes Or No.'
"From this very moment, I want to start a new chapter with all of you," Zico told the crowd. "There were times I questioned whether I truly am an artist, but every time I perform, I rediscover my identity. I'll keep showing you my best as the singer Zico."
Meanwhile, Zico is currently appearing as a producer on Show Me The Money 12 on Mnet.
