What this is
South Korean boy group RIIZE — SM Entertainment's seven-member act known for blending melodic pop with R&B production — brings their concert tour to one of Tokyo's most storied large-capacity arenas. Formed in 2023, RIIZE rose rapidly on the back of hits like 'Serenade' and 'Love 119', building a devoted fanbase across East Asia and beyond. Yoyogi National Stadium's First Gymnasium, with its iconic suspension-roof architecture, has hosted legendary acts from the Beatles to BTS, giving this show a genuinely prestigious setting.
Who should go
K-pop fans and RIIZE followers in Japan, particularly those who missed the group's earlier tour dates. The venue and format will suit both solo attendees and groups — the arena atmosphere rewards fans who know the choreography and fan chants.
Good to know
Tickets are typically sold via eplus.jp and pia.jp, both of which accept foreign credit cards; convenience store pickup (combini) at Lawson or FamilyMart is the most reliable collection method for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. Yoyogi National Stadium's First Gymnasium holds approximately 13,000 people and is configured as a seated arena for most concert events, though floor standing sections are common for K-pop shows — check your ticket type carefully. The venue has bag size restrictions; bags larger than A4 may require checking, and professional cameras with detachable lenses are almost always prohibited. Official merchandise lines open well before doors and sell out quickly — arriving 2 hours early is advisable if you want goods. The nearest convenience stores for cash withdrawal are along Omotesando, a short walk from the venue.
