SHINee's Taemin held his first solo concert in Japan.

He was at the Budokan on July 1st and 2nd, selling out all seats and performing to a total of 28,000 fans. He performed Japanese songs such as "Sayonara Hitori", "Tiger", as well as Japanese versions of his Korean songs "Danger", "Press Your Number", and "Drip Drop". He also revealed "Flame of Love", "I'm Crying", "Door", and "Itsuka Kokode", songs from his 2nd Japanese mini album that'll be released on the 18th.

Check out photos from his concert below.

the performance of door gave me trauma in the best way

LOL! He lip-synched in virtually all performances. Visually it was a good concert but he is definitely not a singer but only a dancer who performs with previously recorded tracks. But I guess that for his fans isn't important as he lip-synchs habitually also during his comebacks and during SHINee concerts, then they are used to it.

The level of dancing in his performances wouldn't allow anyone to sing LIVE, not even the best singer out there. He chooses dancing and theatrics over singing because it is his signature feature as an artist, even though he is also a very good vocalist.

He sang ballads and also sang a few dance songs. Surely he didn't sing ALL the songs, but that would require him to dial down some choreography. Also, you saw the broadcast and not the live version. I went to SHINee's Dome concerts in 2015, and they were definitely singing live. But on the the DVD, the post production made the backtrack loud, but they weren't lipsyncing. On Taemin Day 1 audio streaming I can hear he actually sing quite a few dance tracks, but on Day2 it looks like backtrack was adjusted louder ON the LINE LIVE broadcast. Taemin is one the hardest-working artists out there. Calling him not a singer is pretty lame imo.

honestly who cares though? we know he can sing brilliantly anyway

Lmao do you even attend any shinee concert or any of taemin's prerecording? You have no right to say anything about this. Taemin sang all the ballads and part of the dance songs live in his concert. He certainly sing most songs live in any shinee concert just like other members. Bet jealousy makes you ugly lol. Find yourself a better bias to make you a better person.

I am so glad line did a live stream of the second concert. It was absolutely amazing. (And thanks to the great image quality and no buffering of the stream we could see really well how amazing the show was). When Taemin performs you can't take your eyes off him.

Awesome I love Taeman

He is such a great performer and I'm glad he started so young because this advantaged him a lot and I hope he'll be the second Korean soloist to concert at Tokyo Dome after Rain as it's his dream to do it. He said that all he achieved with Shinee wants to achieve as soloist too.

...and this is why Jonghyun is the official "TaeMOM" It looks like he raided the concert merch store!

That's for sure!

Jonghyun even postponed his 19th concert from 1st July and had two 'The letter' Agit concerts on 2nd July to be able to atteng Taemin first solo concert in Japan and his Mom and sister went too. That speaks volumes. And even if AKP didn't mention it he successfuly ended his series of 20 concerts during six weeks summed more than 50 hours on stage. He has under his belt 42 stages from 2015 until now.

Both finished their solo concerts ON THE SAME DAY in two different countries! Jonghyun made that happened.
