TOMORROW X TOGETHER (Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, Hueningkai) set the Tokyo Dome on fire with their spectacular performances on January 21-22 during their 'TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR IN JAPAN'. The group has been touring Japan's five major domes since November last year, meeting fans across the country.
The area around the venue was buzzing with excitement from early on, as fans sang along to the group's music while eagerly awaiting the concert. The event drew significant attention from local media, with over 30 outlets covering the January 21 performance. Major newspapers like Sports Hochi, Daily Sports, and Nikkan Sports produced special editions featuring TOMORROW X TOGETHER on the front page.
The concert kicked off with thunderous applause as the group opened with 'LO$ER=LO♡ER', the title track from their second studio album repackage 'The Chaos Chapter: FIGHT OR ESCAPE'. Riding a moving car closer to the audience, the atmosphere quickly heated up. The digital single 'Love Language' echoed through the large venue, with fans' cheers resonating throughout. The members' vibrant expressions perfectly matched the refreshing vibe of the song.
The concert featured intense performances that elevated the energy. 'Danger' showcased a powerful dance performance with multiple dancers and pyrotechnics, creating a breathtaking scene. The stage direction, focusing on each member's dance moves, added to the visual delight. When the title track 'Can't Stop' and the song 'Where Do You Go' from their Japanese third studio album 'Starkissed' were performed, the audience sang along in both Japanese and Korean. A special moment exclusive to the Tokyo Dome was Hueningkai's surprise performance of 'Orange' by the renowned Japanese band Spyair, which delighted fans and drew applause for his refreshing vocals.
Towards the end of the concert, the five members expressed their heartfelt gratitude, saying, "It's been a while since we've stood at the Tokyo Dome. We're truly happy thanks to MOA (the fandom name) for filling such a vast audience. Every moment on stage feels new and precious. Thank you for always coming to see us."
TOMORROW X TOGETHER proved their prowess as 'Stage Tellers' (a blend of stage and storyteller) by performing for over three hours, including the encore. Their tireless live performances and energy left a lasting impression even after the concert ended.
Having successfully concluded their Tokyo Dome performances, TOMORROW X TOGETHER will wrap up their Japan tour in Osaka on February 7-8. Before that, they will perform in Taipei on January 31-February 1 and in Kuala Lumpur on February 14.
