Clara and Karen are now in front of you. The first live performance of ClariS, a new sensation☆retro-futuristic pop unit that hides its true face, was a great success!

On July 31, 2015, ClariS held their first live concert at Zepp Tokyo.

ClariS joined the band in November 2014, replacing Alice, who had graduated from the band, with a new lineup of Clara and Karen. Of course, the tickets were sold out and the floor was packed. The audience's voltage was high even before the show began, as they were able to see the new ClariS with their own eyes.

First, a butler wearing a rabbit mask appeared on stage as the facilitator. Thank you for coming to ClariS Castle," he greeted the audience.

A giant screen on the stage projected a CG image of the ClariS castle, and the audience was invited to the castle.

When the pillar clock struck the 6 o'clock bell, the massive doors opened and the live performance began. When Clara and Karen appeared on the upper stage, the audience cheered loudly.


Since their debut, ClariS has always kept their true faces a secret, and even at their memorable first live performance, their figures and costumes were clearly visible, even though they were standing behind a screen. The upper half of their faces were covered by a white veil, but their lips moving in time with their songs and their graceful dance moves gave the strong impression that the girls, whose voices have been on CD for so long, were now right in front of us.

The first song "reunion" was followed by the second song "Clear sky" against the colorful CG backdrop of Clara's pastel pink and Karen's pastel green, the two girls' image colors.
reunion" was a song sung at an event held around the time of Clara and Alice, when they first appeared in silhouette in front of their fans. The flow from the first to the second song seemed to represent the evolution of ClariS.
The third song, "irony," was also greeted with cheers from the audience as the duo addressed the audience between songs.


The title of this live performance was "Beyond the Door," and as each CG door opened, the audience entered the ClariS castle.

After seven songs, the rabbit butler appeared on stage again. Tonight we are going to have a banquet," he said, inviting the audience to the banquet, "and at the banquet, we are going to perform a song for the first time.

As the screen showed the great hall of the castle, Clara and Karen sang their latest single, "Anemone. From there, they performed "YUMENOKI" and "pastel," as well as a collection of coupling songs.

Soon after, ClariS Castle was greeted with morning and the two changed their costumes to pajama-like dresses. They performed "Wake Up" with a stuffed bear in their arms and "rainy day" in boots and raincoats with a CG of their bedroom in the background, matching the image of each song.

For "Naisho no Hanashi," she went to the lower part of the stage for the first time. Instead of the veil covering their faces, they approached the floor wearing only sunglasses, and it was the closest we got to their true faces at this live performance.

After the excitement of DJ Kazu's "ClariS Special mix," the live finally reached its climax. After "Luminous" and "Sleeping Beauty," "Rasto! and sang "Koinomi" before leaving the stage.

For the encore, the duo appeared in adult-like dresses with bare shoulders and sang "Colorful" first.

The two sang "Colorful" first, followed by their first long MC.

I have an announcement to make to you all. We are going on our first national tour next spring!

The audience cheered loudly as Clara and Karen gave the information in their own voices.

Finally, the last song was performed. The last song was "Connect. The encore two songs were connected to "Puella Magi Madoka Magica.


After Clara and Karen left the stage, the pillar clock appeared again and the hands of the clock went back to 6 o'clock.

It was as if this night's live performance had been a dream or a vision, and the show ended with a parting speech by the rabbit butler, "See you again.

This was the first live performance by ClariS, who never show their true faces, in front of a large audience of fans. Their faces were hidden, but there was definitely ClariS on stage.
