Snow Man is the hottest group in J-POP, having sold millions of records and touched the hearts of millions of people worldwide. To celebrate the release of their fourth studio album, RAYS, the group will embark on a multi-city national dome tour in Japan.

Tour Dates:

  • November 9 (Sat) & 10 (Sun): Sapporo Dome, Hokkaido
  • November 16 (Sat) & 17 (Sun): Vantelin Dome Nagoya, Aichi
  • November 30 (Sat) & December 1 (Sun): Fukuoka PayPay Dome, Fukuoka
  • December 15 (Sun), 16 (Mon), 17 (Tue), & 18 (Wed): Tokyo Dome, Tokyo
  • December 25 (Wed), 26 (Thu), & 27 (Fri): Kyocera Dome Osaka, Osaka

 The 5-city dome tour is a milestone for the group has they have become the fastest of any artist under STARTO ENTERTAINMENT, to achieve such a massive scale tour at this point in their careers.

If the dome tour and the album weren’t enough, most of the members have also taken on personal projects. Ren Meguro currently stars in the emotional television drama The Beginning of the Sea, with the Trilliongame movie (a continuation of the massively popular 2023 drama) already in the works. Koji Mukai recently wrapped up his television drama Mountain Doctor and was recently seen at a fashion event in London with Thai superstar Bright. Speaking of fashion, Raul and Hikaru Iwamoto have also been spotted at major events. Ryohei Abe has recently appeared in the mystery drama GO HOME, while Shota Watanabe – hot off the heels of his drama Aoshima-Kun is a Bully! – is gearing up for another bout on stage with Shintaro Morimoto (SixTONES) in another production of Dream Boys. The spirited Daisuke Sakuma (and his glorious abs) will soon grace the cover of Tarzan Magazine, while Ryota Miyadate will undoubtedly be gracing the stage soon.

Both the tour and the album were announced during their live stream – along with a new dome tour – RAYS will drop on 4 October and will be available wherever Japanese CDs are sold, including CD JAPAN. Released in three separate versions, each one will contain unique video features, bonus tracks, and behind-the-scenes video content across three separate editions.

These editions also include some pretty sweet external extras.

  • 🎶A edition📀: Holographic tin mirror (58mm) (RAYS ver.)
  • 🎶B edition📀: Set of 9 Polaroid photo cards (RAYS ver.)
    • ※ Also Includes a handwritten “RAYS” (print) by the members
  • 🎶Regular edition🎶: A4 size sticker sheet (RAYS ver.)

While the designs have yet to be revealed it is nice to see so much international attention being brought to the group. I hope it leads to more overseas opportunities.

More Snow Man soon so…
