If there is one thing a group under STARTO knows how to do, it’s put on a show – and while all their groups are phenomenal, there’s something special about SixTONES. Their musicality, their choreography, their overall sex appeal. While I haven’t been able to experience them live yet as I have with Travis Japan or Snow Man, I do have the next best thing in the form of the blu-ray release of their 2023 concert: Kansei no Hosoku in DOME.
After the accapella overture from their third album 声 (Voice), the show opens with a steamy rendition of one of my favorite Junior era tracks AMAZING!!!!!! After a few suggestive hip-gyrations, the guy jump to their feet and the atmosphere only gets hotter as they start to move.
Highlights from the concert include:
OUTRAGEOUS
Hands down, this is one of my most favorite songs from the group. Ever. Included on 声 it’s sexy. It’s fun. And how often do you really get to hear songs with the word OUTRAGEOUS in them (Unless you’re Jem and the Holograms)?!?
ABARERO
A tapestry of sound, on its own, this song is a state-of-the-art symphonic experience, that showcases these guys’ talent. Add the visuals and the sweat and sexuality of these guys take it to a whole other level.
DANCE ALL NIGHT
While there hasn’t been an official YouTube video of this song from the concert released, it was a pretty spectacular performance. Included on their debut album ST, it’s pretty incredible to watch them move in sync – especially when they do the robot.
Waves Crash
Included as a B-Side to their 6th single 共鳴 (Resonance), it’s just a really fun song.
Cat Call
Included on 声 this is one of those ear-worm songs that just won’t let you go. It’s also one of the songs I’ve been curious about how they’d perform live. I wasn’t disappointed. Watching the guys move like cats is hysterical and oddly (though not surprisingly) sexy.
MR.ZUDON
A fan favorite, this song is weird, but fun and something the crowds go wild over!
DRIVE
Included as a B-Side to ABARERO, SixTONES can make anything look sexy. Side Note: I love how the groups find interesting and fun ways to get them out into the audience.
RAM-PAM-PAM
I mean, mean, anyone who knows SixTONES knows how sexy this song is – if you don’t know it, do yourself a favor and look it up.
Again, as entertainers, SixTONES are top tier performers. From start to finish, there wasn’t a slow moment in the entire show. While I love seeing them from the comfort of my own home, hopefully for the next tour… I’ll be live and in person!
More SixTONES soon so…
Stay Tuned!
