BE:FIRST to perform MTV Unplugged at Pia Arena MM in March
Seven-member boy group BE:FIRST will headline MTV Unplugged at Kanagawa's Pia Arena MM on March 3rd, bringing acoustic versions of their hits to one of Japan's largest venues.
BE:FIRST will take the stage for "MTV Unplugged: BE:FIRST" on March 3rd at Pia Arena MM in Kanagawa. The acoustic concert marks a significant milestone for the seven-member group, performing at one of Japan's largest indoor venues.
MTV Unplugged has featured legendary artists worldwide in intimate acoustic settings since the 1990s. For BE:FIRST, this represents a chance to reimagine their dance-heavy catalog in a stripped-down format, potentially offering fans new arrangements of hits like "Gifted" and "Bye-Good-Bye."
Formed through the 2021 audition show "THE FIRST," BE:FIRST has rapidly risen to become one of Japan's most promising boy groups. The group consists of SOTA, SHUNTO, MANATO, RYUHEI, JUNON, RYOKI, and LEO, known for their strong vocals and synchronized choreography.
Pia Arena MM, with its 12,000 capacity, represents the largest scale MTV Unplugged has attempted in Japan. The venue choice suggests MTV's confidence in BE:FIRST's acoustic abilities and drawing power. Previous MTV Unplugged artists have often seen their acoustic performances become defining moments of their careers.
Ticketing details and setlist information haven't been announced yet, but fans can expect to hear BE:FIRST's popular tracks reimagined without their typical electronic production. The acoustic format should highlight the vocal talents that first caught attention during their formation on "THE FIRST."
