A Phenomenal Debut at SUMMER SONIC 2025
On August 16 and 17, 2025, the seven-member global boy group PSYCHIC FEVER, part of LDH JAPAN Inc., made a highly anticipated appearance at one of the world's most iconic music festivals, SUMMER SONIC. Held at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba and the Expo '70 Commemorative Park in Osaka, their performances mesmerized audiences, igniting the venues with their energetic presence and artistic flair.
Since their inception in 2022, PSYCHIC FEVER has primarily focused on international activities, showcasing their talents at major festivals around the globe. Earlier this year, they completed a successful US tour, garnering praise in the birthplace of entertainment. Their impact was underscored by a feature in Forbes U.S. that noted their departure from typical boy band stereotypes, emphasizing the group's individuality and versatility. The article hailed them as one of the most intriguing acts to emerge from Japan, wearable influences reminiscent of 90's and 2000's hip-hop and R&B crews.
At SUMMER SONIC, many audience members witnessed PSYCHIC FEVER live for the first time. They launched their enticing 11-song set with “Reflection,” their latest track that masterfully intertwines classic 90's and 2000's R&B with the atmospheric sounds of UK Drill. Rather than an explosive opening, the group opted for this groove-rich song that radiated confidence and sophistication, immediately enveloping the audience in their vibrant world.
A thrilling highlight of the performance was their breakthrough hit, “Just Like Dat feat. JP THE WAVY,” which has amassed over 290 million views on TikTok. The song features a Miami Bass and Atlanta Bass-inspired groove that appeals to listeners with its minimalist yet edgy structure. As its intro played, the crowd erupted in excitement, collectively singing along as the pre-chorus led into an uproarious chorus that echoed throughout the arena, creating a powerful synergy between the artists and fans.
The set also featured “Paradise,” crafted specifically for their US tour, embodying 80's disco influences blended with the revived global wave of Japanese City Pop. This song transformed the venue into a dance floor, as fans swayed joyously to its airy rhythm while the members executed smooth choreography on stage.
The electrifying show concluded with “What's Happenin'”, another anthem inspired by Miami/Atlanta beats, delivering a nostalgic Y2K vibe. This killer track showcased PSYCHIC FEVER's sharp hip-hop sensibility, culminating in an explosive finale worthy of the SUMMER SONIC highlights.
PSYCHIC FEVER's captivating blend of dance, singing, and rap dominated the stage with overwhelming energy, marking a triumphant entry into SUMMER SONIC. The essence of the group lies in the chemistry derived from their seven unique personalities—a ‘chemical reaction’ that sets them apart. Their stunning debut at SUMMER SONIC 2025 has solidified their presence both in Japan and overseas while building excitement for their upcoming performances at major global festivals. One thing is clear: PSYCHIC FEVER is a group that the world cannot overlook.
