J-pop boy band Arashi, beloved nationwide, has embarked on its final concert tour, drawing massive crowds of fans eager to catch a last glimpse of the legendary group.
As the excitement sweeps Japan, businesses are making unusual adjustments to accommodate the band’s overwhelming popularity and the impact of fans’ demand near venues across the country.
The first leg of the national tour, Arashi Live Tour 2026 “We are ARASHI,” kicked off in Sapporo, Hokkaido, last week. From March through May, a total of 15 concerts have been scheduled to take place across five major cities, culminating in a final performance at Tokyo Dome on May 31 to bring the group’s 27-year history to a close.
