“All for One” and One for All! palet Shake Souls at Ikebukuro Sunshine City!

palet returned to the Fountain Square of Ikebukuro Sunshine City on September 25, 2015 to hold a release event for their 6th single “All for One” (release date: September 23).

Walking on stage to the soaring synths and sinewy guitar lines of their overture as the fountain shot water 3 stories high and cheers echoed through the 4 floors of Sunshine City, palet began their set with the powerful and inspiring “VICTORY”. Having just finished their Summer tour “palet SUMMER LIVE TOUR 2015~All for One~”, their movements were snappy and aggressive yet graceful. Continuing with their infectious dance tune “Run to the New Wind”, the members of palet rocked back and forth with their elbows flared to the driving beats and Yumi Nakano’s cool spoken delivery of the lyrics.

Picking up the tempo with the fast-paced electronic guitar rock “Koi Suru Wink”, palet kicked up their heels and strummed air guitars as the fans clapped along. Even as sweat glistened on their brows, a chill seemed to emanate from the stage as palet began their chilling winter love song “SNOW DISTANCE”.

The water in the fountain gave the effect of crashing waves (similar to the seaside setting of the MV) as palet performed “Time to Change”. Perhaps due to the realization that this was their first single without Mitsuki Kimijima (graduated June 21, 2015), the facial expressions of the members reflected the bittersweet message of the lyrics.

Reversing the somber mood, palet jumped into “Keep on Lovin’ You” as the fans loudly chanted the names of the members as they took their solo lines and clapped along. Miyuki Hiraguchi’s wristband flew off due to the force of her dancing, sending several small beads bouncing off of the stage. This was followed by “Believe in Yourself”, their major debut song which had been performed at the very same location less than 2 years ago as they began another new journey in their development. People who are not idol fans may just see Sunshine City as a shopping center but, idol fans know it is a special place where groups make treasured memories as they reach for their dreams. Perhaps this was another such day for palet as they began a new chapter in their career?


The members announced the results of their “6 challenges! Make a miracle happen!” project which they launched in order to promote palet.

The mini-live came to a conclusion with a cheerful and optimistic performance of “All for One”, the song symbolizing their new resolve and commitment to each other as a group.
