Japan's Nogizaka46 Performs First Headlining Concert in Taiwan

The group then paused to address the crowd and made introductions in Chinese. During the talk session, some fans in the audience surprised the girls by lifting up signs that read "Welcome to Taiwan" in Japanese, and they appeared genuinely touched by the outpouring of love from the local crowd.

The girls then finished off the first half of the concert with a selection of singles including "Natsu No Free & Easy," "Girls' Rule," "Barrette," "Ima, Hanashitai Dareka Ga Iru" and "Guruguru Curtain."

The latter half of the 29-song main set included last year's Japan Record Awards Song of the Year winner, "Synchronicity," and the winner of the year before, "Influencer," and other solid, beat-driven singles such as "Seifuku No Mannequin" and "Inochi Wa Utsukushii." Popular member Asuka Saito took center position for the final song, "Jikochu De Iko!"

The members returned for the encore and treated the cheering crowd to some of their usual concert staples, "Korogatta Kane Wo Narase!," "Danke Schon," and "Nogizaka No Uta" to wrap up their hugely successful first Taiwan show.
