DREAMS COME TRUE are among the few artists to have held a solo music concert at the National Stadium. In 2019, their 30th anniversary year, they embarked on a nationwide tour, captivating fans with their grand productions, powerful sound, and beautiful vocals.

We aim to deliver a performance that will make this historic day an unforgettable moment for everyone."

Arashi maintains an overwhelming presence through energetic activities including live tours, variety show appearances, and individual lead roles in dramas and films. They are the artists who have performed the most solo concerts at the National Stadium. In May 2020, they will hold the first concert by a solo artist at the stadium since its completion.
Member Sho Sakurai commented, "As a fan, I've been looking forward to the day I could see the new National Stadium. It is an immense honor to perform alongside DREAMS COME TRUE, who have pursued the ultimate entertainment for so many years.
