The group Riize has become the fastest K-pop boy group ever to perform at Japan's Tokyo Dome.

According to SM Entertainment on the 24th, Riize drew a total of 120,000 spectators to the special edition of their first world tour, "Riizing Loud," held at Tokyo Dome in Japan from the 21st to the 23rd.

Riize performed a 27-song setlist, including band arrangements, entirely live with hand-held microphones. They showcased the Japanese single title track "All of You," which topped the Oricon Daily Single Chart, as well as the B-side track "Flashlight," and Japanese versions of "Lucky," "Be My Next," and "Love 119." In particular, their cover performance of "Lilac" by popular local band Mrs. GREEN APPLE drew an enthusiastic response from local fans.

The stage featured a moving platform that traveled 50 meters back and forth, an 8-meter-high telescopic lift, and a ceiling design utilizing laser mapping technology. Riize appeared on a massive ship-shaped structure and opened the show with "Fame," then continued with their representative songs such as "Get A Guitar" and "Boom Boom Bass."

Toward the end of the concert, the members of Riize expressed their gratitude to their fandom, BRIIZE. The members said, "The only reason we were able to stand on the Tokyo Dome stage is because of BRIIZE," adding, "It was a happy moment when we truly felt we were sharing our emotions with our fans." Shotaro, the Japanese member, was moved to tears.

Riize will conclude their first world tour with performances at KSPO DOME in Olympic Park in Seoul from the 6th to the 8th of next month.
