The Tokyo Dome in Japan was filled with 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 venue for the first time in approximately seven years since the 'LOVE YOURSELF : SPEAK YOURSELF' tour in July 2019. Both shows sold out completely well in advance, with 110,000 fans filling the seats 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 climax came during the performance of the track 'Body to Body' from their new album 'Arirang'. As the melody of the Korean folk song 'Arirang' embedded in the song played, everyone began singing 'Arirang' in unison. Earlier, Bang Si-hyeok (Chairman) had predicted that the mass singing of 'Arirang' at 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 the global hits 'Butter' and 'Dynamite' without missing a single line. 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, the Japanese single 8th album track 'Crystal Snow' from 2017 and the Japanese single 4th album track 'FOR YOU' from 2015 were performed. As these are 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 sang 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. "Even though it's been a long time since we met, you responded with the same cheers and smiles, which actually gave me strength. I missed you", they said. "I often travel to Tokyo and walk around the streets, thinking that you live while looking at this scenery. I am truly so happy and honored to be able to come back again. And I am happy. Thank you for waiting for us all this time, and I love you sincerely", they shared.

Having successfully concluded 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.
