SNACK three-line summary
- ILLIT’s official YouTube channel released the “It’s Me X BOOMPALA X PINKY UP” performance video on June 18.
- Then, from June 18 to 19, a PRESS START JAPAN Aichi thank-you Short, a “We set” Short, and a session-style Q&A Short were posted in succession.
- Unlike the Orix Theater schedule news posted the same day, this bundle is a way to check the stage visuals and onsite atmosphere directly.
Snackgirls editor note
Kirari: “This time, the videos catch the eye before the notice does. With a performance video followed by several Shorts, the atmosphere around the Japan tour feels much clearer.”
AIKO: “The important part is that it did not end with one upload, and other cuts followed within 24 hours. Readers can watch the expressions and stage flow from the same schedule all together.”
Red: “This has a different texture from the morning schedule article. Here, you can immediately see what kind of stage package ILLIT has started to show in practice.”
After posting the “It’s Me X BOOMPALA X PINKY UP” performance video on its official YouTube channel on the night of June 18, ILLIT released several Shorts over the following day with the air of the same schedule and member cuts. If the Orix Theater schedule news posted the same day was closer to Japan schedule information, this bundle is closer to an official video package that directly shows the stage and onsite visuals.
The performance video set the center first
The official channel released the “It’s Me X BOOMPALA X PINKY UP” video at 9 p.m. on June 18 (KST). As the title suggests, it is a performance built around three songs, so viewers can check at once what kind of stage tension is being put forward for this Japan schedule.
With this video arriving first, fans now have a clear stage-centered representative cut. Unlike schedule-notice information, what has been released here is actual performance footage. That is why the reference point for this bundle is not concert information, but the stage video.
The Aichi thank-you Short kept the onsite feeling going
The “Thank you, Aichi” Short is a brief follow-up cut from the same Japan tour flow. It is not a long video, but because the official channel left a thank-you note right after the performance, it works as a way of carrying forward the onsite feeling.
The reason short videos like this remain more strongly than text notices is that what fans want to check right now is ultimately expressions, atmosphere, and tempo. By quickly showing those parts again, this Short became a cut that keeps the post-concert heat from breaking off.
Two more Shorts on June 19 widened the viewing flow
On June 19, the “We set” Short and a session-style Q&A Short were also released. With two more short videos of a different feel added within a day, this Japan schedule started to appear not as a single scene, but as stage cuts + onsite cuts + talk cuts.
The session-style Q&A Short, in particular, adds a lighter rhythm that is not visible from the stage video alone. Thanks to that, this release bundle is not just a single upload, but a visual package that expanded into several official cuts within a day.
The point to watch now is the next official stage cut
With this release flow, the checkpoints are already clear. There is now one representative performance video, and three onsite Shorts have been added within a day. What remains to check next is whether this mood continues into additional stage videos, cuts from other regional schedules, or longer behind-the-scenes content.
At this stage, one thing is certain. ILLIT is not leaving the post-Japan-tour information only in text, but has started presenting it as a stage-and-onsite video bundle that can be watched directly on the official channel.
