Arashi performed their final concert on May 31 at Tokyo Dome, bringing the curtain down on their legendary 26-and-a-half-year run as a group. The show was the final stop of their "ARASHI LIVE TOUR 2026: We are ARASHI" — their last five-dome tour spanning Hokkaido, Tokyo, Aichi, Fukuoka, and Osaka from March through June.
The group — consisting of Ohno Satoshi, Sakurai Sho, Aiba Masaki, Ninomiya Kazunari, and Matsumoto Jun — debuted in November 1999 with single "A·RA·SHI" and went on to dominate Japanese pop culture across music, television, film, and stage. After suspending group activities at the end of 2020 (with Ohno also suspending his entertainment career), they reunited in May 2025 for a series of fan club content before announcing this final tour.
A 33-Song Setlist Spanning a Legacy
The show opened with the date "2020.12.31" on screen — the day activities paused — before a giant box-shaped apparatus descended from above. The five members emerged on top, launching into "Love Rainbow" against a backdrop of blue sky and rainbows. Matsumoto roared, "Hey! Tokyo! Arashi is back! We are ARASHI LIVE in TOKYO! Let's have fun!!" as a sea of pen lights spread before them.
Highlights included "Lucky Man" and "Troublemaker", performed from a donut-shaped moving stage with call-and-response engaging the full arena. The setlist wove through their greatest hits, ultimately delivering all 33 songs as a testament to the "We are ARASHI!" spirit they declared at the end of their 2020 livestream "This is ARASHI LIVE 2020.12.31."
Emotional Final Moments
Fan site reports indicate the atmosphere was deeply emotional throughout, with members visibly moved during their final MC. The production featured a crown-shaped balloon and a campfire motif for intimate moments. Each member delivered farewell remarks, thanking fans for 26 years of unwavering support.
"We were able to protect the Arashi that everyone built together for 26 years, and we're truly glad," the group said in a collective statement, as reported by Natalie Music.
Community Reception
The concert generated massive reaction online, with Natalie's article drawing 5,330 emotes and 20 written comments. On Japanese Twitter/X, "Arashi" and "Tokyo Dome" trended throughout the night. International fan communities on Reddit's r/jpop and r/kpop expressed gratitude for the group's legacy, with many noting the significance of their farewell coming after a five-year hiatus.
While the five members go their separate ways — Ohnan remains retired from entertainment, while Sakurai, Aiba, Ninomiya, and Matsumoto continue individual activities — the group's discography of chart-topping hits remains as their enduring legacy.
"We are ARASHI!" — the rallying cry that began with their 2020 livestream became the title and spirit of their final tour.
Setlist Highlights
The 33-song set drew from across their career, featuring hits like "Love Rainbow," "Lucky Man," "Troublemaker," "Wild at Heart," "Energy Song ~Zekkocho Cho!!!!~," "P·A·R·A·D·O·X," and more.
