Jr. EXILE artists perform ‘BATTLE OF TOKYO ~RE:BIRTH~’ live event
The entertainment project ‘BATTLE OF TOKYO’ held its acting live event, ‘BATTLE OF TOKYO ~RE:BIRTH~’, from August 23 to 26 at the LaLa arena TOKYO-BAY. The event featured 38 performers from four Jr. EXILE groups: THE RAMPAGE, FANTASTICS, BALLISTIK BOYZ, and PSYCHIC FEVER.
The performance integrates live music with a complex narrative set in the fictional city of ‘Super Tokyo’. The story follows various factions, including the thieves MAD JESTERS, the bodyguards ROWDY SHOGUN, the illusionists Astro9, and the hackers JIGGY BOYS, as they navigate a world recovering from a global storm through advanced replication technology.
This new chapter, ‘RE:BIRTH’, depicts a desolate Super Tokyo following the dissolution of the Blue Shield organization. The performers portray characters struggling to protect their homes and allies against villains like the arms dealer DUNG BEAT POSSE, blending musical performances with theatrical storytelling to advance the project's evolving lore.
