ViViD Charming 6,000 Fans in Two Days at Release Event!

On May 16th, ViViD have just released their latest single "REAL" and to celebrate this last single before their album release, all members have participated in a special event at the Laforet Museum in Harajuku, Tokyo on May 19th and 20th.

The event titled "Weekend Cinderella - Love Chair for Two - Great Mission" allowed fans to share a sofa with the ViViD members and talk to them directly for a limited time. At that time the staff was dressed as butlers and gave the fans the feeling of being princesses, making it an outstanding event.

Until now, ViViD has already done events where they patted their fans on the head or massaged their shoulders, which certainly raised expectations as to what kind of event this would have been.

"Usually we don't get so many chances to be this close to our fans, therefore it was a lot of fun this time. I would like to do something like that again in the future." Shin said with a wide smile.

For the release a number of in-store events are planned to be held all over the country and all members of ViViD are scheduled to participate!
