On May 22nd, NEWS member Yamashita Tomohisa finished up his solo tour in Taiwan. He was welcomed by legions of fans when he entered Taiwan, and he left them swooning and fainting when he announced his “Proposal” on stage.
The concert was three days long and sold out almost immediately after tickets went on sale, and total revenue for the stop totaled over 1 billion yen. During his second day, Yamashita waved, shook hands, threw kisses, and provided other forms of fan service to the 5,000 screaming fangirls.
During the talk portion of the concert, a fan asked him how he would propose to his future bride. He replied by saying “I want you” in English, causing fans to scream.
Yamashita started his Asia solo tour in January, where he made stops in Hong Kong, Seoul, and Thailand.
His Taiwan show was originally supposed to be in March, but was postponed because of the earthquake. The May 22nd live was the last stop before he returned to Japan to finish up his tour on the 29th.
