YOASOBI Asia 10-City Dome & Stadium Tour 2026-2027: Complete Ticket, Setlist & Venue Guide
Tour Overview: A Historic Dome Tour Across Japan and Asia
YOASOBI — the groundbreaking J-pop duo of composer Ayase and vocalist ikura (Ikuta Lilas) — is embarking on their most ambitious project yet: the Asia 10-City Dome & Stadium Tour 2026-2027. With 10 shows across 5 Japanese cities from October to December 2026, followed by 5 additional Asian cities in 2027, this is the first time a Japanese artist has undertaken a dome/stadium-level tour of this scale across Asia.
From their viral debut with "Yoru ni Kakeru" (夜に駆ける / Into the Night) in 2019 to the global phenomenon of "Idol" (アイドル) — the Oshi no Ko anime opening that topped charts worldwide in 2023 — YOASOBI has transformed from an internet-born music project into one of the most streamed Japanese artists in history. With over 9.4 million Spotify followers and multiple billion-stream songs, they are Japan's leading cultural export in music.
Their unique concept of "turning novels into music" (小説を音楽にする) means every song is based on a literary work, giving their concerts a narrative dimension unlike any other artist. This guide covers all Japan tour dates, ticket information, expected setlist, and detailed venue guides for all 5 dome cities.

About YOASOBI: Turning Novels into Music
The Duo
| Member | Real Name | Role | Background |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ayase | — | Composer, arranger, lyricist, producer | Former Vocaloid producer on Niconico; known for complex, fast-paced compositions blending electronic and pop |
| ikura | Ikuta Lilas (幾田りら) | Vocalist | Singer-songwriter who was part of "ぷらそにか" (Plusonica) before joining YOASOBI; distinctive clear, expressive voice |
The Concept
YOASOBI's revolutionary concept is "小説を音楽にするユニット" — a unit that turns novels into music. Every original YOASOBI song is based on a short story or novel:
- "Yoru ni Kakeru" → Based on Thanatos no Yūwaku (タナトスの誘惑) by Mayoi Hoshino
- "Idol" → Based on 45510 by Aka Akasaka (author of Oshi no Ko)
- "Kaibutsu" → Based on Jibun no Ama (自分の甘) — tied to BEASTARS anime
- "Yusha" → Based on a story tied to Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
This literary foundation gives YOASOBI concerts a unique narrative quality — songs aren't just performed, they're stories being told through music, visuals, and ikura's emotive delivery.

Venue Guide: All 5 Dome Cities
1. Kyocera Dome Osaka (October 24-25)
Access:
| Route | Details |
|---|---|
| Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line | Dome-mae Chiyozaki Station → 5-min walk |
| Hanshin Namba Line | Dome-mae Station → 3-min walk |
| JR Osaka Loop Line | Taisho Station → 10-min walk |
| From Shin-Osaka (Shinkansen) | Midosuji Line → Namba → transfer → ~25 min |
Tips: Gate D for Arena access. No re-entry. Osaka Dome City food court nearby. Dotonbori 15 min by train. Late October has pleasant autumn weather (15-20°C).
2. Vantelin Dome Nagoya (November 7-8)
Access:
| Route | Details |
|---|---|
| Meijo Line | Nagoya Dome-mae Yada Station → 5-min walk |
| JR Chuo Line | Ozone Station → 15-min walk |
| From Nagoya Station | Meijo Line direct → ~20 min |
Tips: Nagoya is famous for unique local cuisine — try miso katsu, hitsumabushi (eel), and tebasaki (chicken wings) near Nagoya Station. The venue area has a large shopping complex (Aeon). November weather: 10-15°C.
Why Nagoya: Centrally located between Tokyo and Osaka, Nagoya is easily reachable by Shinkansen (~1.5h from Tokyo, ~50min from Osaka). Good option if you can't get Tokyo/Osaka tickets.
3. Sapporo Dome (November 14-15)
Access:
| Route | Details |
|---|---|
| Toho Line | Fukuzumi Station → 10-min walk |
| From New Chitose Airport | JR to Sapporo → subway to Fukuzumi → ~60 min total |
| From Sapporo Station | Namboku Line → Ohdori → Toho Line → Fukuzumi → ~25 min |
Tips: November in Sapporo is cold (2-8°C) with possible early snow. Dress warmly for the walk from the station. Sapporo is famous for ramen, soup curry, and fresh seafood — visit the Nijo Market or Susukino entertainment district. The dome is somewhat remote — plan transportation in advance.
Why Sapporo: The least competitive dome for tickets (lower population base). If you're flexible on location, Sapporo dates may be easier to get.
4. Mizuho PayPay Dome Fukuoka (November 28-29)
Access:
| Route | Details |
|---|---|
| Kuko Line | Tojin-machi Station → 20-min walk (or shuttle bus) |
| Bus | Yahuoku! Dome-mae stop, various routes from Hakata/Tenjin |
| From Hakata Station | Subway + walk → ~30 min total |
Tips: Fukuoka has arguably Japan's best food scene — Hakata ramen (tonkotsu), mentaiko (spicy cod roe), motsunabe (offal hot pot), and yatai (street food stalls along the river). The walk from the station is long; consider the shuttle bus on concert days. November weather: 10-15°C.
5. Tokyo Dome (December 5-6) — Tour Finale
Access:
| Route | Details |
|---|---|
| JR Suidobashi Station | West Exit → 5-min walk |
| Marunouchi/Nanboku Line | Korakuen Station → 5-min walk |
| Mita Line | Suidobashi Station → 3-min walk (Exit A2) |
| From Tokyo Station | JR Chuo Line → Suidobashi → ~10 min |
Tips: As the tour finale, the Tokyo Dome shows will likely have the grandest production and longest setlist. Expect possible guest appearances and special arrangements. Tokyo Dome City has restaurants, LaQua spa, and an amusement park. After the show, avoid JR Suidobashi — walk to Iidabashi (8 min) or Kasuga (10 min) stations instead.
December weather: 5-12°C, cold but dry. Dress warmly. The dome interior warms up significantly during the show.

Why YOASOBI's Dome Tour Matters
This tour represents a milestone not just for YOASOBI but for J-pop as a whole:
- First J-pop act to do a 10-city Asia dome/stadium tour: Previously only K-pop groups achieved this scale in Asia
- Anime connection draws global audience: With tie-in songs for Oshi no Ko, Frieren, BEASTARS, Gundam, and Pokémon, YOASOBI attracts anime fans worldwide
- Bridge between internet culture and mainstream: Born from Niconico/Vocaloid culture, YOASOBI proves that internet-origin artists can fill domes
- Novel-to-music concept in a live setting: The concerts translate their literary concept into a visual narrative experience
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which city should I choose for my first YOASOBI dome concert?
A: Tokyo Dome (Dec 5-6) is the tour finale with maximum production. Osaka (Oct 24-25) combines great food with pleasant autumn weather. Sapporo (Nov 14-15) may be easiest to get tickets for due to lower demand.
Q: I'm an anime fan — will they play my favorite anime opening?
A: Very likely. YOASOBI's anime tie-in songs (Idol, Yusha, Kaibutsu, Shukufuku, Biri-Biri) are among their biggest hits and are expected to be performed. "Idol" is almost certainly the opening or closing song.
Q: Do I need to read the source novels to enjoy the concert?
A: No, but it adds a layer of appreciation. Each song's source story is available on YOASOBI's official website. Reading them beforehand makes the narrative interludes between songs more meaningful.
Q: Can I get tickets without a Japanese fan club?
A: Yes. eplus general sales have an English interface and accept international credit cards — no Japanese phone number required. This is the most accessible option for foreign fans. TIXVOY also offers verified resale tickets.
Q: Will there be English-version songs?
A: Possibly. YOASOBI released an English EP (E-SIDE) with English versions of "Idol" and "Into the Night." They may include 1-2 English songs, especially given the international audience at dome shows.
Q: Is the atmosphere different from K-pop concerts?
A: Yes. YOASOBI concerts are more listening-focused — fans appreciate the musicality, clap along, sing choruses, and wave penlights, but it's less about screaming/chanting and more about being immersed in the music and visuals. Think of it as an audiovisual narrative experience.
Q: How does the real-name ticket system work?
A: Your name is registered to the electronic ticket. At entry, staff may check your ID (passport for foreigners) against the ticket name. Mismatches result in denied entry. Make sure the name on your ticket application exactly matches your passport. Full electronic ticket guide →
