BE:FIRST launches world showcase tour in Bangkok

Japanese group BE:FIRST has launched its ‘BE:FIRST WORLD SHOWCASE 2026 “WATCH ME”’ tour, beginning with a performance in Bangkok, Thailand. The showcase promotes their first global EP, ‘WATCH ME’. Following the Bangkok opening, the tour is scheduled to visit Taipei on September 27, Manila on October 3, and New York City on October 22 and 23.

In conjunction with the tour, the group’s choreography for tracks including ‘WATCH ME feat. BIA’, ‘Mainstream’, and ‘Masterplan’ has drawn attention for its intricate design. Choreographed by member SOTA and dancer ReiNa, the movements are noted for ‘visualizing the sound’ by incorporating specific beats, rap flows, and rhythmic nuances into the dance patterns. The choreography utilizes complex formations and a strategic use of tension and release to enhance the musicality of the performances.
