Kat-tun week of dome concerts! + video

The plans for the popular group "KAT-TUN" to have 7 continuous days of concerts (May 15 - 21) at Tokyo Dome have been revealed. The record for the most continuous days of concerts at Tokyo Dome since it was opened in 1988 is already held by KAT-TUN with 4 days. Knowing they'll be breaking their own record the members have said "They're letting us do something amazing" and "We want to do our best.", promising to work hard.

A new record will be formed in Tokyo Dome, a stadium that has seen many artists hold famous lives since it's opening in 1988. The holders of the record for the most continuous days of concerts there are KAT-TUN with 4 days. They'll renew that record with their own hands. From May 15th to 21st "KAT-TUN First in Concert History! Tokyo Dome The Immortal 1 Week of Concerts (temporary)" will be held on those seven days, with a total of 385,000 people coming to see the show.According to people involved, they planned to do this two years ago.

The schedule didn't work out well, but this time it was arranged to not interfere with the professional baseball tournaments. In December they were given the OK to continue with their plans. It is said that once confirming that they'd be using the Dome for 10 days including preparation time staff at Tokyo Dome were surprised and said "Will you really be using it?".Starting in Korakuen Stadium era in '81 with "3 Golden Balls Concert", Hikaru Genji had the very first concert in Tokyo Dome, and since then Johnny's Kinki Kids holds the record for the most concerts in Tokyo Dome at 34 times, and Hey! Say! JUMP holds the record for the youngest performers.

KAT-TUN first showed up there in '06. Last summer they made the record of 4 days.After hearing about the concerts the members were overjoyed. Kamenashi Kazuya (22) said "We'll want to think of something that nobody's done before, and using all of our strengths pull it off." Taguchi Junnosuke said "It's a record we'll make together with the fans. We'll make it so a record ((Japanese: kiroku)) and memories ((Japanese: kioku)) are left behind." with a smile.The person who planned it all, company president Johnny Kitagawa said decidedly "Their costumes and what songs are sung will change every day." On top of that, every day there will be things like drawings to get the audience involved. They even have plans to use new machinery for the stage, which will make them set another record.
