15 years since their debut in Japan in 2011, and 10 years since their legendary Tokyo Dome performance in 2016, 2PM has finally returned to Tokyo Dome. On May 9 and 10, 2026, the '2PM Japan 15th Anniversary Concert “THE RETURN” in TOKYO DOME' opened amidst the overwhelming excitement of fans filling the venue. The opening was quiet and gentle. With soft music that wrapped around the hearts of fans who had been waiting for this day, the members of 2PM quietly appeared on stage, slowly making their way to the center as if savoring the precious time spent until this day. As the members gathered and rose higher, they began with their memorable debut song in Japan, 'Take off,' released 15 years ago. The venue erupted with excitement as the long-awaited Tokyo Dome concert 'took off.' Following immediately was 'SET ME FREE,' showcasing a cool performance against a backdrop of night scenery. After 'Everybody,' they performed 'NEXT Generation,' with towels waving throughout the dome. Then, greeting the fans with 'I'm back~,' they explained the name 'THE RETURN' as they performed 'HIGHER.' The members' voices resonated loudly in Tokyo Dome, further elevating the excitement. Next, in 'GIVE ME LOVE,' they displayed a perfectly synchronized dance formation, and in 'Beautiful,' they captivated with passionate and sexy dance using chairs. As they expressed, 'We will get closer to you from now on!', the members split into two groups, riding on carts to deliver their feelings to the fans in the stands. After energizing the dome with 'Ultra Lover,' 'Jam Session,' and 'Guilty Love,' the voltage in the venue soared with 'Imagine.' The performance with over 70 dancers was breathtaking. The excitement peaked with 'Midarete Mina,' followed by a heartwarming video. Then, the members appeared in chic and glamorous suits at a high point behind the stage to present their latest song in Japan, 'Boku to Mata.' Following the big hit 'My House -Japanese ver.-,' the intro of 'I'm your man' caused a huge scream. As the members danced with loosened ties, the crowd went wild, and at the end of the song, when they unbuttoned their shirts, the excitement reached a fever pitch. In 'Masquerade,' they showcased passionate singing and enchanting dance with many masked dancers, fully displaying their charm. During the MC segment, they revisited the solo song corner that was also featured in their performance at Ariake Arena three years ago. After an intense dance sequence with 'Unmei,' 'Merry-go-round,' and 'Fight,' they laughed while saying, 'This is what happens when we pack all the exciting songs from the past 15 years.' However, the members' commitment to delivering the best performance for their fans was evident. Dressed in a long leather jacket, they began singing 'Promise (I'll be).' Following the ethereal 'Winter Games,' the intro of 'Heartbeat' started with the sound of a heartbeat. The passionate performance drew loud cheers, and the entire dome was engulfed in that world. Even after the members left the stage, the fans' calls for 2PM continued. A grand piano appeared in the center of the stage, and JUN. K began playing it as 'Hanarete Itemo' started. Fans sang along, savoring the moment. Then came a surprise from the fans. A video filled with the feelings of fans who love 2PM played, featuring the message, 'The reason we are here is just one: the promise with 2PM.' The members expressed their emotions and gratitude, saying, 'We will definitely come back! We promise!' After sharing that touching moment, the members floated high in the dome in a hot air balloon while singing 'Falling in love' and '365.' In 'Hands Up,' the entire dome felt like a massive party. Finally, they vowed to meet again with 'I'll be back -Japanese ver.-,' closing the long-awaited Tokyo Dome concert after 10 years with great excitement. After the performance, the Tokyo Dome was still enveloped in the fans' enthusiasm. This concert, which has already been decided for video release, attracted 85,000 people over two days, providing a concert that fully showcased 2PM's charm. We can't take our eyes off the future activities of each member.
