Background and promotion

During their Pop Out Zepp Tour at Zepp Haneda on January 25, 2024, Yoasobi announced their upcoming concert tour, tentatively titled Dome Live 2024 to commemorate their fifth anniversary since the debut.^[1] It scheduled to hold on October 26 and 27 at Kyocera Dome Osaka and November 9 and 10 at Tokyo Dome. Tickets for official fan club went from January 25 to March 10;^[2] and lottery tickets from May 20 to June 10.^[3] On August 29, the official tour title, Chō-genjitsu, and promotional poster were revealed.^[4]

According to the duo, the tour title, meaning "surrealism", reflects on "the five years that have passed, and embodies the current Yoasobi that has emerged during that time."^[5] In a Sponichi Annex interview, the duo expressed the meaning behind of title: "We spent those strange days feeling like reality was distorted, so we want to bring something exciting and unusual to this reality."^[6]

The concert tours collaborated promotional campaigns with local businesses: Namba Parks, Namba City, and Keihan Mall in Osaka and Miyashita Park in Tokyo.^[7][8] Sports Hochi published special newspapers, featuring Yoasobi on the front page, published on the concert dates at selected stores around Kyocera Dome Osaka and Tokyo Dome.^[9][10]

Concert synopsis

The concert starts with the opening video, which is interspersed with footage from Yoasobi's past live performances, accompanied by an ominous sound effect overlaid with the announcement "Welcome to the surreal world" (超現実の世界へようこそ, Chō-genjitsu no sekai e yōkoso) and the claws and eyes of a giant monster appears from a crack in the LED screen before "Seventeen" begins and "Shukufuku" follows. Then, the duo's silhouettes suddenly transform, before moving on to "Kaibutsu". Finally, the entire stage, illuminated by pillars of fire rising from all over, comes into view. The show moves to Yoasobi and the band members, while a strange monster wriggles in to cut in with their song "Undead".^[11][12]

Coupled with the urban background, Yoasobi sings "Halzion", "Mr." (first day) or "Suki da" (second day), and "Mō Sukoshi Dake". The sets are changed to the seaside with vending machines and benches on the left side for "Umi no Manimani", and starry sky for "Yasashii Suisei". After the documentary film looking back on the duo's activity, the reproduction of Ayase's temporary room at his sister's house, where he wrote Yoasobi's songs in their early career, is situated at the center platform, during which "Tabun" was being performed. The duo performs "Haruka" and debuts the unreleased track "New Me". After the duo leaves the stage, the band members—Zacro Misohagi (keyboard), AssH (guitar), Honogumo (drums), and Hikaru Yamamoto (bass)—give solo performances.^[13][14][12]

For the second part, Ayase calls Ikura the show will begin. She appears wearing an elegant veil and continues to sing "Yūsha", the a cappella version of "Ano Yume o Nazotte", "Sangenshoku", and "Idol". "Monotone", "Encore", and "Heart Beat". In the second day of Tokyo show, guitarist Satoru Taguchi and drummer Tatsuya Amano join the stage before perform "Ano Yume o Nazotte". Marked as a "climax" of the concert, Yoasobi performs "Loveletter", where the duo is in a hot air balloon, while "Adventure" in carts leap out of the stage in the festive atmosphere. The duo calls child dancers to go on the stage to perform "Tsubame" (Midories appeares on the second day of the Tokyo show), before aiming to be the one with "Gunjō"; Ikura marches around the venue during the second verse. The concert concluded with the encore from "Butai ni Tatte" (which Ikura played the electric guitar) and "Yoru ni Kakeru".^[15][16][12]
