[Live Blog] Thoughts on attending the 20th Century Live Tour 2024: Let's Jump Off the Earth!

The "20th Century Live Tour 2024: Let's Jump Off the Earth!" held in 2024.

Having seen "Singers, Dancers" in 2026, I've had more opportunities to look back on this concert.

Although the setlist and production were completely different, looking back on it now, I think it was a tour packed with that signature "Tonisen-ness."

This time, I'd like to write about the things that left the biggest impression on me from this concert.


From the opening, I thought, "This is 20th Century!"

The first song performed was "Triangle."

Followed by "X.T.C. beat."
And then "Over Drive."

With Tonisen songs continuing from the start, I couldn't help but feel happy, thinking, "This is it!"

I think this concert had a setlist that allowed you to immerse yourself in the world of 20th Century from beginning to end.


Being able to hear so many Tonisen songs was the thing that made me happiest of all.

The thing that made me happiest about this concert was that they sang so many Tonisen songs.

  • Summer Memory

  • Bell of Departure

  • Spin, Earth

  • Hurry up ~Take Your Hand Right Now~

  • Let's Jump Off the Earth

  • Painful Chapter

  • With You

It was truly a joy to hear so many of the songs they have built up as 20th Century.

Since "Singers, Dancers" in 2026 featured more songs from the V6 era, the difference from this concert also left an impression on me.


The Shonentai medley was a series of surprises

I never expected a Shonentai medley to start.

"What's your name?"
"Dekameron Densetsu"
"Kimi Dake ni"

Seeing 20th Century sing these masterpieces and others felt very fresh.

It was a stage that felt respectful to their seniors, yet it still had that distinct 20th Century flair, leaving a lasting impression.


The meaning of the three of them singing V6 songs

"Aru Hi Negai ga Kanatta nda"
"WA ni Natte Odoro"
"MUSIC FOR THE PEOPLE"
"Believe Your Smile"
"Ai no Melody"

Seeing the three of them sing songs from the V6 era feels a little strange.

But at the same time, I felt a sense of relief knowing that they would continue to sing these songs.


Even Coming Century songs!

Personally, I was happy to hear
"Natsu no Kakera"
"Theme of Coming Century"
these two songs.

I never thought they would sing Coming Century songs, and the venue seemed to get quite excited.

I think it was a setlist that only 20th Century could pull off.


The title track "Chikyu wo Tobidaso!"

"Chikyu wo Tobidaso!" is also the title of the live tour.
Performed toward the end of the show, this song felt like it symbolized the entire tour.

It's positive, bright, and just listening to it gives you energy.
I think it was perfect for the end of the concert.


A happy time until the encore

For the encore, they performed "Tsurai Chapter" and "Anata to".

Wrapped in the gentle atmosphere typical of 20th Century until the very end, I was filled with the feeling that I didn't want it to end.


Thoughts comparing it to "Utau Hito, Odoru Hito"

Now that I've seen the 2026 concert, I feel even more strongly that 2024 was truly a concert with a strong 20th Century vibe.

Of course, I love both concerts.

But I really love 20th Century's original songs, so looking back at this setlist makes me think, "I want to see this concert again."


In closing

Even after a concert ends, listening to the music brings back the scenery and feelings of that time.

"Let's Blast Off from Earth!" is one of those special concerts for me.

2027 will finally be the 30th anniversary. Knowing that a new concert will begin again makes me so excited already.

I want to continue making many more memories with 20th Century's music.


For those who want to enjoy the lingering excitement of the concert once more

After every concert, I listen to the songs on Spotify while remembering the setlist.

"I got goosebumps during the intro of that song." "The venue felt like one during this song." That time spent soaking in the afterglow is one of the joys of a concert.

Many of the songs performed on this tour can also be heard on Spotify.

Please enjoy them once more along with your memories of the concert.

The 20th Century playlist I always listen to

I usually listen to a Spotify playlist that I've put together with only 20th Century songs.

It has become a routine for me to play this playlist after a concert to soak in the afterglow.

"I want to hear this song at a concert too." "This reminds me of that tour again." It's a favorite playlist that makes me feel that way.

If you are interested, please give it a listen.
