The heat of local media's reports on New Jeans, which heated up the Tokyo Dome in Japan, is hot every day. One page of major sports newspapers has been plastered with photos of Newzins, and local media are pouring favorable reviews in detail about the atmosphere of the performance.

Sankei Sports, Nikkan Sports, and Daily Sports dealt with the news of 'Bunnies Camp 2024 Tokyo Dome', which was held from the 26th to the 27th and ended in great success, on the 28th. It is not common to fill a newspaper with performance articles from foreign artists. You can get a glimpse of the status and powerful popularity of Newzins in Japan.

Newspapers said "Goddesses Keep Making New Legends (Sankei Sports)" and "The concert hall was excited with colorful costumes and colorful dances, and violent shouts rang out one after another"(Nikkan Sports) and "Five members, led by enthusiastic cheers, went up to the sacred Tokyo Dome"(Daily Sports)."

Earlier, major sports newspapers produced a special edition featuring Newzins on the front page on both days when they entered the Tokyo Dome. The newspaper, which was placed on a large number of stands near the Tokyo Dome, sold like hot cakes and ran out at some convenience stores.

Local music media 'Natalie' vividly conveyed the atmosphere of the scene through an article titled 「Newzins met about 91,200 Bunnies (fandom name)」 at its first Tokyo Dome performance. The media introduced "K-pop artists are usually accompanied by interpreters when they meet locally, but the five members of Newzins received Bunnies by mixing Korean, English, and Japanese without an interpreter."

Oricon News paid attention to the solo performances of the members, who composed their own songs and Japanese cover songs, and explained that "Seiko Matsuda's "Blue Coral Reef" performance, sung by Hani, made a big splash not only in Japan but also in Korean trends on X (formerly Twitter)."

Oricon News continued "Trending idols sang songs of idols in the 1980s with a bright smile, making the auditorium a sweet atmosphere."Even if it went dark after the song was over, Tokyo Dome was filled with joy as the shock continued."

Referring to the record of entering the Tokyo Dome for the shortest period in the history of foreign artists (1 year and 11 months), Model Press said "Newzins captured Burns by waving until the end of the 150-minute performance."

The craze for Newzins in Japan also led to the rise of major local music charts. On the 27th, in Spotify Japan 'Daily Top Song', 'Supernatural' ranked 14th, up four notches from the previous day. The chart contains a total of 11 songs by Newzins alone. A total of nine songs were included in the list of Apple Music Japan 'Top 100', including 'How Sweet' (11th) and 'Supernatural' (13th).
