Ryosuke Yamada’s Taipei concert concluded successfully, returning as a solo artist after 7 years

[Reporter Liao Lihui/Taipei Report] Japanese star artist Ryosuke Yamada launched his first Asian tour concert "Ryosuke Yamada ASIA TOUR 2026 Red. In the past two days, he went to Xiahai City God's Temple and Xingtian Temple respectively to seek good luck. Although he felt sorry for the Taiwanese fans who came in the rain, he also hoped that he could "get wet when encountering water" and make the performance go smoothly.

Yamada Ryosuke opened the show with a domineering performance of "RED" and "SWITCH" today (6th). Wearing a red coat and sunglasses, he looked extremely handsome. He shouted: "Hey Taiwan! Are you ready!" Then he took off his sunglasses to reveal his "national treasure-level face" and let out an astonishing scream. The entire performance runs through a distinct "RED" worldview, with large LEDs, lights and dance dyeing the stage deep red.

It is reported that Ryosuke Yamada came to Taiwan in advance and spent a whole day rehearsing in Beiliu, which was indeed reflected in the performance. The gorgeous stage lighting design, song connection, and stage moves were all very careful, and the coordination with Ryosuke Yamada was perfect. In the middle, Ryosuke Yamada had a small forgetting of words, and the small mistakes did not affect the overall performance at all. It is worth mentioning that the extended stage is too close to the fans. You can interact with Ryosuke Yamada at a very close distance in the station area on the first floor, and you can also look at Ryosuke Yamada in the front row on the second floor as he stands on the stage. The 4,980 yuan is really worth the price.

When he sang "Do It Again", he unbuttoned his buttons to reveal his strong chest muscles, and opened his clothes to his navel, which made the audience scream. In "Escort", he put on glasses and transformed into Prince Charming carrying roses, as if he was about to propose to fans, which made the fans happy. Then he changed his costume on the stage and put on a top hat, just like Timothée Chalamet in "Wonka", turning Beiliu into a Disney world, which made people unable to take their eyes off him.

In the re-arranged "Asia Night", he put on a shining blue Japanese-style stage costume. The dancers stretched their arms layer by layer behind them, forming a gorgeous formation like the "Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara". It was like a dark blue flower blooming on the crimson stage, becoming an impressive visual highlight of the entire venue.

Before singing "Like a Flower", Yamada Ryosuke finally took a break and greeted everyone in Chinese: "Hello everyone, I am Yamada Ryosuke, long time no see!" He said that the last time he came to Taiwan was in 2019 for Hey! Say! JUMP concert, I am very happy to see you all after 7 years. This time I come to Taiwan not as a group but as individuals. "Of course I miss you all very much. Although there is a bit of distance, I am back!" The fans in the audience also shouted: "Welcome back!"

He found that all the fans in the audience seemed to understand Japanese, and said with a smile: "Have I tried hard for Ryosuke?" He also noticed that Taiwanese fans would respond enthusiastically with "Hi". Yamada Ryosuke explained: "Actually, Japan doesn't respond like this. Responding to "Hi" like this is like in school." As a result, the fans in the audience called him "teacher", and Yamada Ryosuke also taught "Yamada Ryosuke call" on the spot, "When I say I am, you should say Ryosuke!" Of course, the fans got it right, and they had such a tacit understanding that Mr. Yamada Ryosuke praised him "100 points."

The funniest part of today's performance was definitely when he suddenly took out a Screaming Chicken and even imitated the crow of a Screaming Chicken, asking: "Although there are Screaming Chickens in Japan, is this really the Taiwan EasyCard? Can this be used for rides? Can it be used for shopping? Just use this one Is everyone taking this?" No one in the audience responded, which made Ryosuke Yamada surprised: "Then why am I the only one taking it?" He thought it was very popular in Taiwan, "I originally wanted to put it on my mobile phone to show off to everyone, but it turned out not to be popular at all!"

In addition to singing the Hey! Say! JUMP suite, he also paid tribute to his senior brother DOMOTO's "Polymer of Love". Yamada Ryosuke performed a total of 25 songs and sang them all in 2 hours. Finally, he performed the encore song "Bloomin'" and even changed some of the lyrics to Chinese. He personally sang lyrics such as "I will turn the love I miss you into a bouquet of flowers in my hand" and "I hope I will still have you in the future", which surprised and delighted fans.

The performance was over, but the fans were still reluctant to leave, and finally called out Ryosuke Yamada for a second safety. Ryosuke Yamada said with emotion: "I would like to thank Taiwan RED. JUMP, please give me your advice." This is the end of the first stop of the Asian tour.
