Japan Dome Tour was the fourth Japanese concert tour by South Korean band Big Bang. The tour visited six of Japan's major concert domes, making Big Bang the first foreign artists to headline their own six-Dome tour. One of the country's highest-grossing concert tours of the year, it grossed over US$70.6 million from sixteen shows, with all of the tickets for the tour sold out.[1]

Concert

The concert kicked off with the Japanese version of BIGBANG’s ‘Haru Haru’, and the song was followed by ‘My Heaven,’ and then BIGBANG’s Japanese debut single, ‘Gara Gara Go’. As the scale of the stadium is immense, BIGBANG used a flying stage that enables the entire stage to move, while also using a moving car that allows all five members to go closer to the fans. The three-hour-long concert encompassed more than 30 songs, including encore and re-encore.
