Stray Kids has started their world tour's Japan performances. This world tour 'Stray Kids World Tour <dominATE>' is their largest scale tour yet, with a total of 21 performances across 12 countries and regions based on the first lineup announced. It began on August 24 in Seoul, South Korea, and after successful shows in Singapore, Melbourne, Sydney, and Taiwan, the long-awaited Japan performances have finally opened. The Japan performances will be held at Tokyo Dome on November 14 (Thursday), 16 (Saturday), and 17 (Sunday), and at Kyocera Dome Osaka on December 5 (Thursday), 7 (Saturday), and 8 (Sunday), totaling six performances. Once again, all six performances in Japan sold out immediately. There was an overwhelming number of applications far exceeding the venue's capacity, making this a highly sought-after premium live event. The three Tokyo Dome performances held on November 14, 16, and 17 attracted 165,000 attendees over three days. In the packed Tokyo Dome, they opened with 'MOUNTAINS' from their fifth mini-album, which reached number one on the US Billboard charts. They exploded with energy from the start, overwhelming the venue with a powerful stage for their hit song 'Thunderous'. They performed about 35 songs over approximately three hours, including their latest tracks 'JJAM' and 'Chk Chk Boom', as well as representative songs like 'God's Menu', 'S-Class', and 'MANIAC'. Additionally, they premiered the lead track 'GIANT' from their newly released second Japanese album on November 13. The song, grand and powerful, captivated fans with its dance reminiscent of a 'giant'. Finally, member Seungmin expressed, 'I'm really glad to have become a singer,' and leader Bang Chan promised, 'Next year, Stray Kids will be back as these eight members for our eighth year!' The live performances were not only held at the venue but also broadcasted live in theaters nationwide and on five online platforms, with over 60,000 fans participating, marking a great success. Stray Kids' second Japanese album 'GIANT', released on November 13, has achieved remarkable success both domestically and internationally. It topped the iTunes song charts in nine countries and regions, and the iTunes album charts in 19 countries and regions, including Japan and the USA (as of November 14). This marks the first time a K-POP artist's Japanese work has reached number one on the US iTunes album chart in early 2024. In Japan, they recorded a triple crown on iTunes (overall top album ranking, iTunes pop top album ranking, iTunes K-POP top album ranking). They also achieved a triple crown on Apple Music (overall album ranking, Apple Music pop album ranking, Apple Music K-Pop album ranking). Furthermore, they topped the LINE MUSIC real-time album TOP 100, daily album TOP 100, and AWA real-time rising songs TOP 100, and for five consecutive days, they ranked number one on the Oricon daily ranking, creating a 'GIANT whirlwind'. ■Performance Overview 'Stray Kids World Tour <dominATE JAPAN>' 【Venue/Date】 ◯Tokyo Dome November 14 (Thursday) OPEN 16:00 / START 18:00 November 16 (Saturday) OPEN 15:00 / START 17:00 November 17 (Sunday) OPEN 14:00 / START 16:00 ◯Kyocera Dome Osaka December 5 (Thursday) OPEN 16:00 / START 18:00 December 7 (Saturday) OPEN 15:00 / START 17:00 December 8 (Sunday) OPEN 14:00 / START 16:00 【Ticket Price】 All seats reserved: ¥15,500 (tax included) *Sold out *The members performing may change depending on their health condition.
