RIIZE held their first live concert at Tokyo Dome, titled '2026 RIIZE CONCERT TOUR [RIIZING LOUD] Special Edition in TOKYO DOME', from February 21 (Saturday) to 23 (Monday, holiday). It was the fastest Tokyo Dome performance by a K-POP male group, with a total attendance of 120,000 over three days. Utilizing gondolas, moving stages, floats, and various special effects that can only be achieved at a dome scale, they fully leveraged high-level performances, making it a live show that will be etched in 'records' and 'memories'. The Tokyo Dome was filled with the orange lights of BRIIZE (RIIZE's fans) from the stage side to near the ceiling. As the venue darkened, laser beams shot from the main stage, covered by a giant screen, towards the audience, signaling the start of the show. Dancers appeared one after another on stage, and suddenly, with a loud 'bang' sound, the figures of Shoutaro, Eunsook, Seongchan, Wonbin, Sohee, and Anton on a gondola came into view. Amidst the roaring cheers, the expressions of the members looking straight ahead were displayed on the screen. As the gondola gradually descended to the stage, the SE sound momentarily stopped, and Anton's sorrowful singing voice opened the live with 'Fame', the title track of their 2nd single released last November, making its debut at their solo live in Japan. With a powerful voice tinged with sadness over a heavy rhythm and an emotional performance, they united the Tokyo Dome. The intense and sharp dance in the outro raised the voltage, and the heat further increased with 'Siren'. The members spread out to the left and right of the main stage, showcasing their impressive high-speed steps. This song had previously gained attention when a performance video was released before their official debut, and witnessing the scene of them thrilling the dome reminded everyone of their extraordinary potential. The third song was 'Ember to Solar'. As the title appeared on the screen, a loud cheer erupted, and the call of BRIIZE shouting the names of all the members was perfectly timed from the intro. During the '[RIIZING LOUD] tour', which was part of their world tour, this song was used as the first song and served as a fuse for the live, but this time it created a peak in the opening block. An arrangement including a dance break showcased their powerful performance. Up to this point, RIIZE had fully demonstrated their charisma. From the fourth song 'Memories', they showcased another characteristic of theirs, which is their approachability. The members' expressions relaxed to match the pop and refreshing atmosphere of the song, showing smiles for the first time that day. Enjoying call-and-response with BRIIZE, the moving stage from the main stage moved over the heads of the arena audience to connect to a long flower road in the middle. The distance between them and BRIIZE shrank. Following that, they continued with bright and fun Japanese songs 'Lucky' and 'Be My Next' from their first Japanese single, with BRIIZE singing along with the members. Meanwhile, the moving stage moved towards the back of the dome, coming close to the audience in the stands. The members moved around on the moving stage, singing to the BRIIZE in front of them, waving their hands, and sending hearts, culminating in 'Show Me Love', where a big chorus of 'Oh Oh Oh' erupted. Confetti burst from the main stage, creating a climax-like scene. After a video interlude, the members changed from stylish deep navy outfits to uniform-like ones and reappeared on the gondola to sing 'Midnight Mirage'. While they appeared tense during the opening, this time they seemed to enjoy the sight of the Tokyo Dome filled with BRIIZE. The members descended to the stage and moved to the middle point on the moving stage while singing 'Odyssey', spreading out along the long flower road on both sides. The venue briefly darkened, and when it brightened again, each member rode a lifter and sang 'Combo'. This song, released as a special video to commemorate their first anniversary, conveyed the message 'No matter what anyone says, I am seeking you' to each BRIIZE who filled the Tokyo Dome. The members' eyes, reflected on the screen, seemed to glisten with tears, and their passionate singing voice resonated throughout the vast dome. The first MC time began. "Good evening! We are RIIZE," they greeted in unison, and Shoutaro savored each word, saying, "Finally... finally, RIIZE's first solo Tokyo Dome." He revealed that he was about to cry, thinking, "I feel like this beautiful scenery is amazing (laughs)." Other members took turns greeting, with Anton jokingly admitting he was a bit nervous. Wonbin expressed disbelief at being able to stand in Tokyo Dome, and Seongchan, with a big smile, said, "I am so happy," conveying that this stage was their dream. They created a friendly atmosphere by sharing stories about how Wonbin was scared of the gondola during their entrance and how they were about to cry during 'Combo'. They then smoothly transitioned into 'Love 119 (Japanese Ver.)', which was their first song with Japanese lyrics, and BRIIZE sang loudly from the start. The final act included a bubble display, filling the dome with a warm atmosphere, and during '9Days', the members showed their charm while moving on the moving stage, eliciting cheers from BRIIZE each time. The outro included an EDM-style arrangement, and silver tape was released, creating a club-like atmosphere. The next song, 'Impossible', showcased their high physical abilities with an intense dance performance on a stage scattered with silver tape. In the block following the MC, they performed 'Sticky Like', their first song in Japan, which was emotional yet poppy, allowing the beauty of their harmonies in the high notes to shine. In 'Hug', two members sang on stage while four rode single-person trolleys, moving around the venue. They then delivered 'Flashlight' from their second Japanese single, released just on February 18 (Wednesday). This song, with its positive message for the future, contained the lyrics, 'Let’s engrave this moment,' as the members aimed to create unforgettable moments with the BRIIZE in front of them. The last song of this block was a cover of Mrs. GREEN APPLE's 'Lilac', which drew a big surprise from BRIIZE as soon as the intro played. Shoutaro introduced it as RIIZE's first Japanese cover song, and during the chorus, both the members and BRIIZE joyfully sang together, further bridging the distance between RIIZE and BRIIZE. After a video interlude, the members changed into casual blue-based outfits, and the live entered the second half. They entered a zone filled with their representative songs, ensuring excitement. In 'Get A Guitar', they arranged the dance part of the interlude, and Shoutaro's elegant turns excited the audience even more. 'Boom Boom Bass' was performed on the moving stage, showcasing a perfect performance that defied the unstable foundation, with BRIIZE's calls intensifying. In 'Fly Up', they spread out along the flower road in the arena's middle, accompanied by many dancers, delivering a powerful stage. Silver tape was released, marking the first peak of the second half. Concerned for the excited BRIIZE, Eunsook asked, "Is everyone okay? Please drink plenty of water." When Shoutaro asked, "Is it hot?" BRIIZE replied, "It's hot!", with some even sweating despite it being winter. While doing MC, the members changed into white hoodies one by one, and with the chant of 'We LOVE RIIZE' from RIIZE & BRIIZE, the final spurt began. Starting with a powerful brass sound, 'All of You' was performed with a group of dancers holding trombones, presenting a gorgeous performance. Despite being a newly released song, BRIIZE sang along perfectly. Amidst the cheers, the impressive saxophone sound resonated as they transitioned to 'Talk Saxy'. With brass instruments as the key sound, the dome heated up even more. The last song of the main set was 'Bag Bad Back', with the repeated phrase 'Bag' becoming addictive, echoing through the Tokyo Dome with shouts of 'Bag!' and 'Bag!' as fireworks shot off, and the members left the stage. For the encore, the members appeared on a giant float, wearing official black varsity jackets, throwing frisbees and balls to the audience while singing 'Same Key', 'One Kiss', and 'Inside My Love'. They took plenty of time to circle the vast dome, sharing the remaining moments with BRIIZE. When the members returned to the main stage and looked at the audience, they saw each person holding placards that spelled out 'WE RIIZE'. Sohee shouted, "Thank you~", and Shoutaro requested, "I would be happy if you could hold it up for a few more seconds to capture this scene," while taking a commemorative photo. Finally, they gave their last greetings. Each member shared their thoughts on the live, with Anton thanking BRIIZE for filling the venue, promising, "We, RIIZE, will continue to believe only in BRIIZE and move further up." Sohee expressed disbelief at being able to perform at Tokyo Dome, conveying that seeing BRIIZE from the stage was beyond words in terms of emotion. Wonbin expressed feelings of disbelief, wanting to remember it, and said, "It really feels like a dream," thanking everyone, including the members, stating, "If even one of you were not here, we could not stand on this stage now. Thank you for making our dreams come true." Eunsook recalled that the first stage he performed on before debuting was Tokyo Dome, and it was profound to see it filled only with RIIZE and BRIIZE. He expressed that it was thanks to BRIIZE that they could finish the live safely and enjoyably. Shoutaro overflowed with thoughts about being able to perform at Tokyo Dome, a place he had seen many artists perform since childhood, saying, "It was a dream, so thank you to the members and BRIIZE for making it come true," with a smile. Seongchan reflected on how quickly the day went by, saying, "It was really a moment," and expressed his desire to keep this precious memory in his heart for a long time. The live concluded with 'Another Life'. Before singing, Shoutaro introduced it as a song with the message, "Even if we are reborn, not every moment will be perfect, but let’s move forward without regrets." They delivered the heartfelt song, and RIIZE's first concert at Tokyo Dome came to a close. This concert, held as a Special Edition of the 'RIIZING LOUD' tour, featured a setlist and production that were almost entirely upgraded from the tour, prepared specifically for this performance. It conveyed how much RIIZE values this stage and proved that they are artists who truly belong in the dome.
