As a person who got (back) into jsb3 around 2022 i didnt really understand the significance of Stars ~Land of Promise~ being their comeback tour

But i understand now. the group was on the verge of breaking up during the pandemic and all of the members have established themselves individually. Vocals Imaichi and Ømi has gone solo. Even the performers Elly, Naoto, Gunchan had their own solo too. Naoki and Kanjiro also have their own gigs. At that point, their own names have enough credibility in the industry. It was possible for them to live without hanging on to the JSB3 name.

And that's where Stars ~Land of Promise~ came in. The vibes you get from the setlist of this tour was "reassuring".

The first half was them establishing themselves as JSB3. Because of their hit songs (Ryusei, Orion) their group image is stars. And I really like that they started the concert with Kono Uchuu no Katasumi de, literally In the Corner of this Universe.

In this universe we crossed paths and in this universe we came together today. Thank you for coming to meet us again, this is JSB3, your Stars.

And then followed with VII (Seven) Crowns, which would remind old fans of the king royalty theme from their old tour, Raise The Flag.

I haven't watched all of JSB3 old concerts, but I can get the feeling that the first part of the setlist were references to their major tours. While at the same time reminding everyone that this is how JSB3 is.

This is the seven members everyone knows. This is us when we're hyped up, this is us encouraging, this is us moving forward, this is us in the seasons, this is us in spring, summer, autumn, winter, all with you (君となら)

They also had a lot of MC talk sessions on this tour. They literally had bar counters onstage.

Yes we had our own lives, our own businesses and that's normal. It's fine because we can just come together again in this BAR STARS and catch up with each other.

And it's such a good addition to this tour because you get all the members talking and you can see them interacting with each other. And they also made sure to interact with fans.

(unfortunately is not included in the live album)

And then at the final part of the tour you have them dish out all their hit songs that makes you dance together with them.

Remember these hit songs? Remember the fun we had? It was because of you guys that they became famous and we were known! It was thanks to you guys making them hits that we were given so many opportunities. It was thanks to you guys we could reach the stars.

Thank you, thank you, and this is our flower for you.

Ending with 花歌 (Flower Song) was not only just a love song for the fans, it's also such a good transition for the change to JSB3's image.

Where in this new chapter, we are roses.

Gosh there is so much writing I had to do to explain this elite spec, I'm gonna have to get creative of how to display this all in a way that's easily absorbable (at least for me). I had to revise all my notes last night lasjkfl. I know doing this is extremely unnecessary, but my stupid brain just obsessively wants me to go buckwild and thorough with things that probably won't be shown in any ways except in my mind :/

i'm so normal about bill's hateful poem about stan

someone who screwed up and screwed over his family but was able to be redeemed, to be loved again, to be given a another chance.

bill sees himself in stan,

but there will be no chance at a family reunion for bill.
