PSYCHIC FEVER of LDH JAPAN Makes a Grand Debut at SUMMER SONIC 2025

A Thrilling Arrival: PSYCHIC FEVER at SUMMER SONIC 2025

On September 5, 2025, PSYCHIC FEVER, the electrifying seven-member boy group from LDH JAPAN Inc., made waves during their debut at the iconic SUMMER SONIC festival in Japan. Performing on August 16 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba and on August 17 at Expo '70 Commemorative Park in Osaka, the group delivered an impressive repertoire that filled the venues with pure exhilaration.

Since their formation in 2022, PSYCHIC FEVER has primarily focused on international activities, showcasing their talents at major festivals and events across the globe. Earlier this year, they successfully wrapped up their inaugural tour in the United States, visiting six cities and establishing a powerful presence in the heart of the entertainment industry.

Forbes U.S. hailed the group as not being your typical boy band, praising their individuality and diversity that set them apart in the realm of J-pop. This recognition has positioned them as one of the most fascinating groups emerging from Japan, with a unique style reminiscent of 90s and early 2000s hip-hop and R&B.

At SUMMER SONIC, many festival attendees experienced PSYCHIC FEVER for the first time. Rising to the occasion, the group delivered a dynamic set comprising 11 songs, leaving an indelible mark on the audience. They opened the performance with “Reflection,” their latest release, a track blending classic 90s R&B with atmospheric undertones of British DrillnB. Rather than opting for a loud and explosive opener, they chose a rhythm that exuded confidence, drawing the audience into their world.

The excitement reached a crescendo with their hit “Just Like Dat feat. JP THE WAVY,” which boasts over 290 million views on TikTok. Featuring a Miami Bass and Atlanta Bass-inspired rhythm, the song’s minimalistic yet cutting-edge structure resonated with listeners. As the intro played, the crowd erupted, and by the pre-chorus, spontaneous singing emerged. By the time the chorus hit, the entire venue was chanting “Just Like Dat!” in unison, creating a powerful synergy between the artists and the audience.

The setlist also saw the inclusion of “Paradise,” a song tailored for their American tour earlier this year. Combining 80s disco influences with the resurgence of Japanese urban pop, it transformed the venue into a vibrant dance floor, where fans swayed to its fresh beats, while the members executed fluid choreography on stage.

To close the electrifying show, they performed “What’s Happenin’,” another anthem reflecting Miami/Atlanta Bass influences that carried strong Y2K vibes. This track showcased PSYCHIC FEVER's keen hip-hop sensibility, providing a thrilling conclusion that lived up to SUMMER SONIC's highlights.

PSYCHIC FEVER's seamless fusion of dance, vocals, and rap allowed them to dominate the stage with overwhelming energy, culminating in a triumphant ending to their first SUMMER SONIC appearance. The unique chemistry stemming from the interaction and harmony of their seven distinctive characters—an “alchemy” that sets them apart—was palpably felt throughout the performance. Their spectacular debut at SUMMER SONIC 2025 reinforced their presence both in Japan and internationally, generating anticipation for their upcoming appearances at major global festivals. One thing is certain: PSYCHIC FEVER is a group that the world cannot overlook.
