Watching Snow Man perform is like getting hit with a lightning bolt of glitter and talent. There’s just something about them—a glow that never seems to fades, a spark that never dims. No matter how many times I’ve seen them, it always feels like the first.

Electrifying. Addictive. Magical.

Each of the nine—Hikaru Iwamoto, Tatsuya Fukazawa, Raul, Shota Watanabe, Koji Mukai, Ryohei Abe, Ren Meguro, Ryota Miyadate, and Daisuke Sakuma—brings something unique to the table, but together? They’re unstoppable. Whether they’re dropping chart-topping singles, stealing scenes in dramas, or just being unapologetically themselves, Snow Man never stops climbing. From scrappy underdogs to full-blown J-pop royalty, their rise hasn’t just been impressive—it’s been legendary.

Just like the opening to their second dome tour RAYS – which has finally been released on YouTube so that the rest of the world can feel what I felt when I saw them perform in December.

Rays comes home to Blu-Ray and DVD on 5 June and can be preordered wherever Japanese music and moves are sold, including CD JAPAN!
