There's a review of it here:

The Google translation is here:

but it doesn't make much sense to me!
I think Josh and Ben and Liam did solos...I'm still confused whether Ed did. And one new boy did a solo. That's all I could understand. So to any of our Japanese readers out there, translation please!

I think we need a translator to translate the translation
Thanks for that anyway Carino. I think you're right, it looks like Josh did most of the solo's with Ben, Ed and Liam followed by the mystery soloist !! I wonder who that was ???

In the beginning, the writer was worried at Libera's performance without Tom Cully but despite his absence, every Libera member gave their best and accomplished a refreshing and touching concert. Of 23 boys who came to Japan tour, about 2/3 of them did a solo.
Josh did about 4-5 solos (including You Were There) and of course he got everyone's attention with his cute smile and mesmerized them

the writer said Josh was as notable figure as Tom. Although he got taller, his singing sound was still like boy-ish. Mini Ben did a solo for Far Away and Liam did a solo for Libera.

I'm not a native Japanese speaker so I just translated some parts I thought was interesting. I couldn't find any specific mentions of new boys thou.

Mini Ben on Far away very random as he does not have the strongest voice, would of thought Liam would of been better suited

Yes, thanks for the translation - They will probably identify with the well established boys, as the newbies are still making their fledglings steps in this great choir/boy band! Won't be long before they are household names in Libera too. Looks like Josh's workload as increased, don't think he'll be complaining though lol
Did the reviewe mention something about a large video screen too? I wonder if that will become a feature for upcoming concerts, or just for the larger venues.

Mini-Ben on Far Away?? Well, its an interesting choice... I bet he carried it off well. And Josh on You Were There is an excellent choice. I can't wait to read more reviews!! Argh, I wish I knew who mystery soloist is, though...

Josh on You Were There? I'd love to hear that. Not that I'm comparing, but could it be like Tom singing Far Away? Anyway, I see that this dear boy is still up to his charming ways.
I would love to know who the mystery soloist was too!

This person went to concert with her daughter and they both enjoyed it very much. Despite the height differences among the boys, they all sounded amazingly pure and clear. I guess she's not very familiar with the names of boys but she mentioned Fritz?? (I'm guessing she was trying to say Freddie Ingles) born in 2000 did the introduction for the final song.

Ahh... Freddie would have been the smallest of the boys, and the smallest boy seems to always do the final song introduction. Joe Snelling at Leiden, and Kavana on the US tour...
