RIIZE concluded their first arena tour in Japan with a memorable performance, announcing a special Tokyo Dome concert for 2026.

RIIZE's first arena tour in Japan, '2025 RIIZE CONCERT TOUR [RIIZING LOUD] IN JAPAN' (11 performances in 5 cities nationwide), held its final performance from September 13 (Saturday) to 15 (Monday, holiday) at Tokyo's National Yoyogi Stadium First Gymnasium. On the first day, it was announced that they would hold a '2026 RIIZE CONCERT TOUR [RIIZING LOUD] Special Edition in TOKYO DOME,' making it a memorable event. The keyword for this tour was 'voyage.' The main stage was inspired by a ship, with a massive screen at the back featuring a design reminiscent of a ship's bow. After a fantastical opening video, the bow opened from the center to the sides, revealing Shoutaro, Woobin, Seongchan, Wonbin, Sohee, and Anton. As their fierce expressions were projected on the screen, loud cheers erupted from the fans, BRIIZE. The first song was 'Ember to Solar,' where the stage, dyed orange with fiery visuals and lighting, showcased a passionate performance to a fast beat. As the song neared its end, Woobin and Sohee's long tones became more powerful, displaying overwhelming charisma right from the start. Sirens echoed in the venue, followed by the upbeat dance track 'Siren.' The members moved from the main stage to a center stage in the arena surrounded by fans, delivering a powerful performance. In 'Odyssey,' the atmosphere shifted with blue lights and smoke on the center stage, creating an image of being in the sea, where the members appeared as if floating on waves. They delivered a medium-tempo song about taking steps toward dreams with gentle, warm voices, showcasing their vocal abilities in beautiful unison during the chorus. In 'Combo,' the members spread across the stage, singing directly to the BRIIZE in front of them. The powerful voices building toward the chorus conveyed the feeling of 'No matter what anyone says, I’m longing for you.' At the end, their fingers pointed toward the sky, symbolizing the direction RIIZE and BRIIZE should take together. The opening four songs packed in RIIZE's charm of charisma, dance skills, vocal prowess, and closeness to fans, while the MC segments revealed their relatable sides. Seongchan beamed, saying, 'RIIZE has returned to Yoyogi!' Shoutaro greeted with 'I’m back, Yoyogi,' reminiscing about their first solo concert being held there, and cutely asked, 'Will you support us until the end?' Sohee energetically declared, 'Let’s go all out!' Meanwhile, Woobin, who performed seated due to health issues, apologized for not being able to show his best self but vowed to give his all until the end. The block began with Eunsok's call to 'let’s create wonderful memories!' The members changed from cool red jackets to baseball shirts, creating a friendly atmosphere with pop songs. In the original Japanese songs 'Be My Next' and 'Lucky,' BRIIZE sang along, and the members ran around the stage, showing their enjoyment while interacting closely with the cameras. After a video segment, the mood shifted with 'Passage,' featuring Anton's father, Yoon Sang. The members, now dressed in sailor outfits, appeared at the bow of the main stage to sing 'Midnight Mirage,' smiling and waving at the audience while delivering a fairy-tale-like, beautiful melody with delicate and soothing voices. They then relaxed in a room set while singing 'Hug,' showing affectionate moments as pairs leaned on each other or hugged. Shoutaro revealed a message written in a notebook that said, 'Happy Birthday, Seongchan!' surprising him with a celebration during the performance, as he turned 24 on September 13. In 'Love 119 (Japanese Ver.),' Shoutaro asked BRIIZE to sing along, leading to a big chorus. After the song, Sohee expressed surprise at how well BRIIZE had improved their singing, and Shoutaro noted that it felt like everyone's voices had leveled up as the tour approached its end. They created a dance part in the outro of '9Days,' transforming the venue into a club-like atmosphere, and heightened the unity with the emotional pop song 'Show Me Love,' which prompted a massive sing-along from BRIIZE. The live show then entered the second half with 'Honestly,' featuring a mirror box performance that showcased their flexible choreography from all angles. The soft white shirt they wore sometimes spread like wings or wrapped around their bodies, amplifying the sexiness and catching the eye. 'Get a Guitar' began with a special session featuring Anton on bass and Woobin on guitar, thrilling BRIIZE. Other popular songs like 'Talk Saxy,' 'Impossible,' and 'Boom Boom Bass' were enhanced with dancers and rearranged dance tracks, showcasing their evolution in live performances. During this block, they also covered EXO's 'Monster,' respecting the original choreography while adapting formations to prove RIIZE's unique color. The intense dance numbers continued in the latter half. After performing the lead track 'Fly Up' from their first full album 'ODYSSEY,' released in May, the members collapsed on stage. 'Fly Up' is a fun pop song with many intricate steps, and they were sweating so much that their white shirts became see-through. Woobin, who only participated in singing due to health issues, expressed his admiration for his members' hard work. Anton stated, 'We will do our best to make the final moments special,' and Shoutaro introduced the last song of the main set, 'Another Life,' saying it embodies the meaning of moving forward without regrets, even if they are not perfect in every moment. All members stood on stage with Woobin, delivering the song's heartfelt message passionately. Returning for the encore with 'The End of the Day,' each member shared their thoughts. Finally, Shoutaro asked, 'BRIIZE, what day is it today?' When BRIIZE shouted, 'Seongchan's birthday!' a birthday cake appeared on stage. Everyone in the venue sang 'Happy Birthday to You,' and Seongchan, surprised, expressed his desire to 'have fun and get along with the members.' Shoutaro then prompted, 'We have an important announcement for BRIIZE,' leading to a video tracing their journey since debut, followed by the announcement of their first Tokyo Dome concert. Amidst the cheers from BRIIZE, the members exclaimed, 'Really?!' and 'No way!' Shoutaro, smiling widely, said, 'I finally got to tell you,' and thanked BRIIZE for their support. With heartfelt feelings toward BRIIZE, they concluded by singing 'One Kiss' and 'Inside My Love.' After finishing, the members repeatedly thanked BRIIZE and promised to meet again at Tokyo Dome. As Shoutaro stated at the beginning of the encore, 'Today will surely be an important day and an unforgettable one,' this performance became a day to remember. Despite being only two years since their Korean debut and about a year since their Japanese debut, they showcased their solid skills and expressiveness, greatly energizing the stage with BRIIZE. Expectations are already rising for the Tokyo Dome concert, which will surely reveal a new side of RIIZE.
