The archived footage of the conceptual concert, “INSIDE THE FIRST TAKE”, organised by the YouTube channel “THE FIRST TAKE”, will be streamed overseas on Stagecrowd.

“THE FIRST TAKE” is a YouTube channel from Japan that films and releases videos featuring artist performances shot in a single take. The channel has over 6 million subscribers — the most out of all omnibus music channels in Japan. Performances are filmed in a pure white space with the artist in front of a single mic. The production is simple and stripped down, and the resulting footage highlights the artist’s pure talent.

In this conceptual concert, fans can witness the single-take filming style of “THE FIRST TAKE”. In addition, before an artist’s performance, an exclusive documentary about the track that will be performed will also be shown with English subtitle, deepening your understanding of the song.

Featured performers include popular artists who made global hits such as ALI, who sang “LOST IN PARADISE feat. AKLO” (the ending theme of 1st season of the TV anime “Jujutsu Kaisen”), yama, who sang “Oz.” (the ending theme of the 1st season of the TV anime “Ranking of Kings”), ReoNa, who sang “ANIMA” (the opening theme of the TV anime “Sword Art Online Alicization War of Underworld”), and many others.

It’s the first-ever live performance from THE FIRST TAKE, gathering artists that have been trending

■ INSIDE THE FIRST TAKE
THE FIRST TAKE has always been mysterious.
But now, you can see the inside of it live.
A premium concert begins.

Singing voice. Breathing. Feelings for the music.
The inner makings of an artist who puts everything into this one performance
You can feel it all clearly.

A space where cheers and even noises hesitate to spread
All the sounds of the venue become part of the music.

Welcome to the music.
