The talented seven members of the idol hip hop group Block B has taken their first step in Japan.

On September 19th, Block B kicked off their first showcase live tour, "Do U Wanna B?", at the ZEPP Tokyo. The tour will be continuing on to ZEPP Osaka on the 22nd, ZEPP Nagoya on the 24th, and ZEPP Fukuoka on the 25th, totaling to four cities.

On their first stage in Tokyo, Block B opened up with "Halo" and went on to perform "Freeze!", Taeil and Zico's solo stages, U-Kwon and B-Bomb's dance battle, Zico, Park Kyung, and P.O.'s rap stage, and Taeil, Jaehyo, U-Kwon, and B-Bomb's ballad stage. They received an enthusiastic response for their ability to present a wide array of musical genres.

"Wanna B" in particular was especially charming in that they were able to express who they were as Korea's hip hop idols. Once all of the stages were presented, fans shouted and roared until the boys returned on stage to perform an encore with "Tell Them".

After the concert, the members expressed their gratitude towards their fans with a high touch event and promised to see them again.

At the press conference, leader Zico stated, "I once came here to study abroad but this time, I'm here as a singer. I didn't think that so many people would come, and the response that everyone gave was very enthusiastic."

When asked about Block B's charms, he replied, "We're someone very close to our fans, like a hyung in the neighborhood; just very friendly. Each individual member in our team excels in their area, whether it be ballad, dance, or rap, and not just in our visual performance.
