Yeah I am about 95% sure it’s his choice. I don’t think it’s 88 Rising’s decision to go through the awkwardness of not having him there and not being able to address it either.
But Joji did go, he performed a DJ set and even played his own songs afterwards for his performance. Since it was a two day event, he ended the first night with a finale of Slow Dancing in the Dark. I was there and his DJ set was the best for the crowd hype. unfortunately most of the artists leave after the first day of the event of their performance.
I was really sad for a full day after i saw this year HITC. I have been a fan since the first HITC album and when i saw Joji, Higher Brothers, Niki,... didn’t comeback or stay at the end each year like August. I have felt a huge emptiness in the stage. Hope that 88 will help create a magic moment like the final in HITC 2019 again next year
People keep blaming 88rising for joji not performing but last time I remembered, 88rising isn’t some kpop company. They would much rather have their most popular artist that literally all of 88rising fans love perform. I think it’s pretty clear that joji has always had health problems whether it’s physical or mental, and he’s been pretty much missing from most 88rising things for a while now. I think he’s just been mentally not there. I mean, if you were an fan for a while now, back when he was suppose to release his second album ‘nectar’ it was delayed so many times, it was delayed at least 3 times when it was suppose to be released in June of 2020 yet it was delayed constantly until September. Idk why people blame 88rising instead of joji not like I’m blaming him tho, but many artists seem to burn out or just don’t wanna perform. Frank oceans being the most notable one.
We need Joji , Rich brian , Niki ,august 08 , HighBrother For MidsummerMadness , They started it, so they got together to sing the 88rising national anthem
- Too bad Niki was not there because of covid - Why Sean looks so akward when the crowd shout "joji joji joji" :/ - August with his "joji has my heart" - August is not under 88rising anymore but nice to see he showed up and he 🔥 the stage - Spotted Meni and Warren = 1:29 , 1:45 , 9:11
I still can't believe Joji wasnt there he was literally performing the same night right? Will we ever get a clear reason why he's not included in these group events. It's literally his song
He was there for one day to hype up his own personal merch. I guess he couldn’t get out of HITC Jakarta and Manila despite not participating in the promo.
This performance hits differently now. RIP August 08
Wait he died ?!?

Joji's absence is haunting for sure! That said, as long as it was his decision to not go then there's no problemo.
I was scanning for him the entire time to make sure it's not just a recording of his parts

Joji on the same stage as Atarashii Gakko would have been fire.
Midsummer Madness without joji is tragic
that's what i'm saying
where is joji bro
For real
Tragic what?

Midsummer Madness will forever be my most favourit song, I got so many memories made with this songs
Michelle Yeoh is amazing, Jackson is so in awe with her, adorable

Edit : ok that's michelle yeoh
i wonder where joji has been since he released his new music
I think he’s back to living in New York most of the time. Well, and touring. He has these mini breaks between the tour legs.
Ga sabar jakarta🙃
All i see you guys just asking where is joji, nobody ask where is higher brother
I'm assuming in China LoL
😢
Frfr Somebody is crying in the comsec where is joji? But there's so many missing artist in here wtf
They've been missing since 2019
higher brothers is not even on the lineup, but joji is performing on the same night with this finale so everyone wondering where he is
