Boy band Hey!Say! JUMP held their first solo concert for 2011 at Yokohama Arena on January 2nd. Performing for the third year in a row at that venue, the concert was a stop in their live tour, “Hey!Say! JUMP ‘Arigatou’~Sekai no Doko ni Itemo~ WINTER CONCERT 2010~2011“, which spans 3 cities and 16 stages.

Impressively, the concert at Yokohama Arena – two stages, one day – pulled in a total audience figure of 30,000. Fans were delighted as Hey!Say! JUMP delivered 20 songs, including their latest track, “Arigatou~Sekai no Doko ni Itemo~.”

During the concert, Yabu Kota remarked, “Since this is the year of rabbit in Chinese astrology, I want to jump more like a rabbit! I also want to have our own show this year.” Building on that, fellow member Nakajima Yuto expressed his ambition and hoped for a world tour.

It could be that both Yuto and Kota will see their dreams come true, as Johnny Kitagawa, the president of JE, quipped, “It’s almost time for them to challenge Asia.” Could we expect a grand announcement of a world tour soon??

In the meantime, the boys will continue on with their live tour, which will wrap up on January 16th.
