What this is
&TEAM is a Japanese-Korean boy group formed through a 2022 HYBE Japan survival show, debuting with a blend of K-pop production values and J-pop sensibility. The group consists of nine members — a mix of Japanese and Korean nationals — signed under HYBE Labels Japan, making them one of the most high-profile acts in the current wave of cross-cultural idol groups. Their concerts are known for high-energy choreography, elaborate stage production, and an intensely devoted fanbase known as 'Luné.' This Nagoya date at IG Arena is part of what is expected to be a large-scale domestic arena tour, reflecting the group's rapid rise to headline status.
Who should go
Fans of K-pop and J-pop idol culture will feel right at home, but the polished production and bilingual performances also make this accessible to curious newcomers to the genre. The atmosphere is typically electric, with coordinated light stick displays, fan chants, and a strong sense of community among attendees. Expect a predominantly young, female-skewing crowd with a passionate and welcoming energy. Arrive early to browse official merchandise, as queues can be extremely long and popular items sell out fast.
Good to know
Tickets are typically sold via eplus.jp, pia.jp, and Lawson Ticket — all three platforms accept foreign credit cards, though convenience store pickup (combini) at Lawson is the most hassle-free option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. IG Arena (formerly Dolphins Arena) is a large indoor arena in Nagoya with a capacity of approximately 10,000 for concert configurations, offering both seated and floor standing sections depending on the show layout. The venue has bag check facilities but note that large bags and backpacks may need to be stored. Arrive at least 90 minutes before doors open to allow time for security, merchandise queues, and finding your seat. Cash is essential for in-venue food, drinks, and merchandise purchases.
