A Spellbinding Night of Drag Witnessed by 1,500 Fans
As the clock struck 7 PM, “OPULENCE” began, filling the venue with the unmistakable sound of Madonna’s Like a Prayer. Tokyo’s queens and dancers took the stage, bringing together a whirlwind of diversity—different backgrounds, body types, and genders—all blending into an electrifying fusion that immediately seized the crowd’s attention.
The night’s host, CODY, set the mood with playful banter to Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend before the solo performances of the visiting queens took center stage. The spotlight then caught Precious Paula Nicole, who had been blending into the standing crowd, sparking a burst of cheers from the audience. Her lip-sync to a powerful Beyoncé medley beginning with If I Were a Boy captivated the room, as golden accents on her outfit shimmered under the lights, radiating pure glamour.
Nymphia took the stage in a radiant white gown, her lip-sync to Beyoncé’s Halo radiating an almost divine presence. As the white dress was shed, she revealed her iconic yellow outfit, dripping with fabulousness. Her fierce performance to Doja Cat’s DEMON, with her long fur swirling dramatically, was a breathtaking display of power and confidence.
When Jaida, a fan favorite in Japan, made her grand entrance, the crowd exploded with cheers of “Jaida!” She flashed a playful acknowledgment, letting everyone know she heard the love. Dressed in a sultry black leather ensemble, the psychedelic visuals behind her created a mesmerizing contrast. Her performance to Doechii’s Alter Ego matched the song’s seductive lyrics, dripping with confidence and allure.
The Tokyo-based queens captivated the crowd with their performances. Sera Tonin dazzled in a celebratory costume, offering a mystical and enchanting show. Vera Strong, with the day’s signature color of white, mesmerized the audience with her dynamic dance moves and dramatic use of flowing fabric.
