2日間ともにチケットは完売！
4階まで埋め尽くしたファンがペンライトを振る光景に、クリスが「こんな美しい光景を目の前にして嬉しい」、またブライトも「僕たちもワクワクして楽しんでいるから一緒に楽しんでほしい」と思いを伝えた。
両日ともにMCをつとめたのはハライチ・岩井勇気さん。アニメや漫画などに造詣が深いことで知られる岩井さんも、“時代はタイBL！”とSNSで発信するほどタイドラマをこのところ鑑賞していた中、イベント初日には、実際に生の人気俳優陣を前にして、思わず “頭身が全然違う！”と、来場したファンとともにイベントを満喫。また、岩井からは日本のコロナ対策の一環として、ファンが大声を出せないことも説明。アーティストにも事前に伝えられていたとはいえ、他国と異なる状況にアーティストが驚かないよう、ファンたちの代弁者としても活躍。
ファンミーティングは4時間に及び、オープニングの後、アース（Earth）・ミックス（Mix）のペアを皮切りに、テー（Tay）・ニュー（New）、オーム（Ohm）・ナノン（Nanon）、クリス（Krist）がぞれぞれのステージを披露。
アースとミックスのペアは互いへの信頼が表情からもあふれ出る仲良しコンビ。互いを見つめあいながら歌う姿にファンは酔いしれた。かわいい姿だけでなく、かっこいい姿も披露。
テーとニューは抜群の安定感でベテランの貫録を見せる。2人にしか出せない、柔らかい空気感は周りを笑顔にさせる唯一無二のものである。
OhmとNanonは、最高のバディとして、歌も踊りも完璧にやり遂げた。緊張していた2人だが、乗り越えたときの笑顔はとても美しく、人々を魅了。
そしてKristは、英語も交えつつ、上から下まで、すべてのファンに自分の言葉を伝えようとする優しさでファンを包み込んだ。その振る舞いと、伸びのある確かな歌声は、まさにプロフェッショナル。ソロでも圧倒的な力を見せつけた。
自身の出演ドラマの挿入歌などを歌い上げるとともに、トークやミニゲームコーナーなども盛り込まれ、ファンミーティングらしい構成で展開。会場の盛り上がりが最高潮に達したところで最後に、昨年冬に放送された「F4 Thailand：BOYS OVER FLOWERS」のブライト（Bright）・ウィン（Win）・デュー（Dew）・ナニ（Nani）が登場し、ドラマの挿入歌を披露し、ファンとともに懐かしく振り返りかえった。
デューはスタイルの良さと柔らかな笑顔でファンの心に訴えかける。ナニは、力いっぱい心を込め、時には目を閉じながら声を届けた。
ウィンが笑顔を見せると、声にならない声が客席からあふれた。さらにブライトがしっとりと歌い上げたニューシングル「Lost and Found」は、ファンの心を鷲掴み。
そしてラストは、再び11名全員がステージに集結し、日本のタイドラマブームのまさにきっかけとなった「２gether」の挿入歌「Kan Goo」を全員で歌唱。最後には日本のファンのサポートに対する感謝の気持ちを一人一人が伝え、初の日本公式ファンミーティングは幕を下ろした。俳優たちの来日を長らく待ち望んだファンとともに、ワクワク、楽しい、感動、感激といった様々な感情であふれた特別な2日間が終了した。
GMMTV FAN FEST 2022 LIVE IN JAPAN, featuring 11 popular actors leading the Thai drama boom
GMMTV FAN FEST 2022 LIVE IN JAPAN," one of the largest concerts in Japan featuring artists from Thailand, was held at Pia Arena MM (Minato Mirai, Yokohama) on August 27 (Sat) and 28 (Sun).
11 popular Thai actors who have become global stars gathered for the event, which was attended by approximately 20,000 fans over the two days. The event was a hot live event.
Opening the event were Krist, Tay, New, Bright, Win, Dew, Nani, Earth, Mix, Ohm, and Nanon. Eleven artists performed on stage. They opened the show with a spectacular stage full of the "power of love" for their Japanese fans. Each artist greeted the audience in Japanese with phrases such as "aishitemasu," and the venue was filled with the applause of the fans.
Tickets for both days were sold out!
Krist said, "I am so happy to see such a beautiful sight in front of me," and Bright added, "We are also excited and having fun, so please enjoy the show with us.
The MC for both days was Yuki Iwai of Haraiichi. Iwai, who is known for his deep knowledge of anime and manga, has been watching Thai dramas so much recently that he has been saying on SNS, "Thai BL is the new era!” "Their heads are so different!" and enjoyed the two-day event with the fans who came to the event. Iwai also explained that as part of Japan's anti-Covid measures, fans could not shout loudly. Although the artists had been informed of this in advance, he also acted as a spokesperson for the fans so that the artists would not be surprised by the different conditions in other countries.
After the opening, EarthMix pairing was followed by TayNew, OhmNanon, and Krist.
The pair of Earth and Mix are a close pair whose trust in each other overflows from their expressions. Fans were intoxicated by the way they looked at each other and sang together. Not only did they look cute, but they also looked cool.
Tay and New showed the stability of a seasoned veteran, and the soft atmosphere that only they can bring to the stage is unique and makes everyone around them smile.
Ohm and Nanon, as best buddies, sang and danced to perfection. They were nervous, but when they got over it, their smiles were beautiful and captivated the audience.
And Krist, with his kindness, tried to convey his words to all the fans, from top to bottom, while also speaking in English. His demeanor and his elongated, sure-footed singing voice were truly professional. He also showed his overwhelming power in his solo performance.
In addition to singing songs from dramas in which she has appeared, the event also included a talk session and a mini-game corner. When the excitement of the audience reached its peak, Bright, Win, Dew, and Nani from "F4 Thailand: BOYS OVER FLOWERS," which aired last winter, appeared on stage to perform an insert song from the drama and reminisce with the fans. The audience looked back on the drama with nostalgic feelings.
Dew appealed to the fans with soft smile. Nani delivered his voice with full heart, sometimes closing his eyes. When Win smiled, inaudible voices flooded the audience. Bright also sang softly his new single "Lost and Found," which grabbed the hearts of the fans.
For the last song, all 11 members gathered on stage again to sing "Kan Goo," a song inserted in "2gether," the very song that triggered the Thai drama boom in Japan.
The first official fan meeting in Japan came to a close with each member expressing their gratitude for the support of their Japanese fans. Together with the fans who had long been waiting for the actors to come to Japan, the special 2day event ended with a variety of emotions: exciting, fun, moving, and inspiring.
