The Tokyo Dome in Japan was bathed in the melody of the Korean folk song "Arirang."

BTS successfully concluded their world tour "BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG IN TOKYO" at the Tokyo Dome in Japan on the 17th and 18th. This marks their return to the Tokyo Dome for the first time in 7 years and 5 months since the "BTS WORLD TOUR LOVE YOURSELF ~JAPAN EDITION~" in November 2018. Both shows sold out completely in advance, with a total of 110,000 fans filling the venue over the two days.

Fans waved their light sticks in perfect unison, creating a spectacular scene. During "Not Today" and "MIC Drop," thunderous cheers filled the Tokyo Dome. The highlight of the concert was the performance of "Body to Body," a track from their new album "Arirang" (ARIRANG). As the melody of the Korean folk song "Arirang" was incorporated into the song, everyone sang along to "Arirang" in unison. Earlier, Bang Si-hyeok (Chairman) had predicted that the mass singing of "Arirang" echoing through overseas venues would become the most iconic moment of this tour. On this day, the members could not hide their overwhelmed expressions as they treasured the voices of the audience in their hearts.

Fans sang along to every word of global hit songs "Butter" and "Dynamite." As the mass singing layered over BTS's vocals, the concert atmosphere grew even more intense. During the "Random Song" segment, where songs released long ago were performed spontaneously, "Crystal Snow," a track from their 2017 Japanese single album 8, and "FOR YOU," a track from their 2015 Japanese single album 4, were performed. As these were original Japanese songs for local fans, a deep sense of nostalgia lingered in the audience. The members roamed the stage, making eye contact with the crowd, and repeatedly said, "It's been so long since we performed this. It feels so good."

BTS delivered most of their remarks fluently in the local language and conveyed their sincerity by reading heartfelt letters they had carefully written. They said, "Even though it's been a while, you responded with the same cheers and smiles, which gave us strength. We missed you." They also shared, "I often visit Tokyo for travel, and as I walk the streets, I think, 'You all live while seeing this scenery.' I am truly so happy and honored to be able to return again. And I am happy. Thank you for waiting for us until now, and we love you sincerely."

After successfully concluding their Tokyo performances in Japan, BTS will move their tour to the United States. They are scheduled to meet local fans at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, on the 25th–26 and 28.
