"I'm really nervous. I've prepared thoroughly, so please look forward to it." Artist and producer ZICO expressed his excitement on the eve of his first solo concert in Japan in nearly eight years.
ZICO will hold his solo concert '2026 ZICO LIVE: TOKYO DRIVE' on the 7th at Keio Arena Tokyo. The concert is already sold out, showcasing ZICO's immense popularity in Japan.
Through his agency, KOZ Entertainment, ZICO shared, "I'm really nervous to be performing in Japan again after such a long time. I've prepared thoroughly so that the audience will be eager to see me. You can look forward to it."
Fans can anticipate a dazzling setlist featuring many of his hit songs. A special guest performance is also planned, with popular Japanese musician Lilas (Ikura from YOASOBI), who collaborated with ZICO on last year's single 'DUET,' set to appear.
Last year, ZICO received an enthusiastic response in Japan, performing at major music festivals like 'a-nation 2025' and appearing on the prominent music program 'Music Station SUPER LIVE 2025.' His renowned performance skills were on full display.
Meanwhile, ZICO is currently gaining popularity with 'Yin and Yang (FANXY CHILD Ver.)(Feat. DEAN, PENOMECO),' released on the afternoon of the 4th. This remix features DEAN and PENOMECO alongside the original track by ZICO and Crush. As of 10 PM on the 5th, the song is ranked third on YouTube's trending music chart, receiving much love.
