[INDONESIA] Closer Than Ever: eaJ Shared a Meaningful Night at ‘the 1/9 Tour’ in Jakarta

Thousands of JARS filled the Basket Hall at Gelora Bung Karno, Jakarta, on November 21, 2025, to witness eaJ as part of his Asia tour, the 1/9 Tour. Indonesia became the fourth stop after Seoul, Manila, and Singapore, before the tour wrapped up in Bangkok, Thailand. Short as it may be, the 1/9 Tour truly felt like a warm embrace, one that will linger in the memories of everyone who was there.

Sharing the Same Beat with eaJ

Honestly, the concert felt like a warm hug—like catching up with an old friend you haven’t seen in ages. Everyone in the venue just got it. We sang, we jumped, we rocked out with eaJ and the band from start to finish. From opening with right where you left me to warm moments of heartfelt gratitude he shared along the way, the crowd’s energy stayed loud and alive all night long.

Throughout the show, eaJ kept the conversations flowing between songs, chatting with the crowd, cracking jokes, and sharing stories from his musical journey in Indonesia. He even recalled his moment as a headliner at Prambanan Jazz Festival 2025 in Yogyakarta, a stage he said had a huge impact on his life and career. And true to his style, eaJ didn’t hesitate to get off the stage and connect with fans up close. He didn’t just perform for the crowd—he performed with them, turning every moment into something shared.

The show shifted into full rock-and-roll mode with RED, turning the whole venue crimson in an instant. And it didn’t stop there as he ignited the stage once again with burn. Fans jumped in perfect unison, proving yet again that Indonesian crowds are the true masters of sing-alongs. He also delivered an emotional rendition of when the rain stops, a moment that resonated deeply with everyone in the room.

A Stage, A Bond, and A Voice

As the night went on, eaJ performed some of his fan-favorite tracks including put it on me—a song dedicated to an inspiring fan from Indonesia . He kept the momentum high with hits like safe in the rain, typical story, and enemy, turning the entire venue into one big choir.

Near the end of the set, he brought out the legendary Pacman. The crowd knew every lyric by heart, singing word for word without missing a beat. His voice blended perfectly with thousands of JARS, creating a moment that felt like a powerful duet. In that instant, it felt like the whole room was breathing in the same rhythm.

That night, he didn’t just share a stage with us, he shared a bond. A truly meaningful one. And if we’re talking about eaJ, we can’t ignore one of the things that defines him: using his voice for what matters. In the middle of the concert, another message took the spotlight, a powerful reminder he has always stood by: “No Child Deserves to Die“. The statement lit up the stage loud and clear, proving that his music isn’t just heard, it speaks.

Heading into the finale, Car Crash turned into a full-on collaboration with the crowd (literally). Before we even realised it, eaJ and the band were already saying their goodbyes and snapping photos with fans. But it wasn’t over just yet. Indonesian fans came prepared with a heartfelt video project for eaJ, and suddenly the whole venue turned into one big crying session. In return, eaJ gave a full bow, a gesture of deep gratitude for the Indonesian fans who always show up with so much love.

One last song awaited the fans, a beautiful cover of The Only Exception (originally by Paramore), and that’s when the night truly came to a close. It was a night to remember for every single person in the venue. Until we meet again, eaJ!
