| Snow Man 1st Stadium Live Concert "Snow World" - All Photos: Yahoo JP |
Snow Man officially stepped into legend territory last night, 19 April, as the nine-member group held their very first stadium concert at Tokyo’s iconic National Stadium.
A historic moment for both the boys and their fans, “Snow Man 1st Stadium Live Snow World” wasn’t just a concert — it was a full-blown love letter to their five years as a group, loaded with fireworks, marching bands, solo stages, and yep… plenty of (happy) tears.
Let’s be real: a few years back, even they didn’t think this kind of dream was within reach.
“I honestly couldn’t even imagine standing on a stage like this,” Meguro Ren admitted during his closing message, already tearing up before the final notes played. “But Snow Man made it here… because of all of you.”
Kicking It Off – With Sunglasses, Sass, and 70,000 Screams
Right as dusk hit Tokyo, out strutted the nine in pink-themed fits and sunglasses like they owned the universe — which, to be fair, they kinda did.
The crowd erupted as they launched into bangers like “Crazy F-R-E-S-H Beat”, “EVOLUTION”, and “POWEEEEER”, bringing all the stadium hype you'd expect and more.

Between songs, the members kept it cheeky with their call-and-response intros:
-
“Kokuritsu, you ready to GO?” (Raul)
-
“Anyone here want to be happy tonight? Let’s do it together!” (Abe)
-
“Look up, y’all — the sky’s wide open, and yes we’re definitely getting sunburnt, but WHO CARES!” (Watanabe)
-
“Did you miss Snow Man? Did you miss ME?” (Fukazawa, laughing)
Even from the back stands, fans could feel the connection. You know it’s serious when idols are screaming for everyone to breathe together.
Lights, Water, Drums, Action!
Stadium scale means stadium spectacle — and Snow Man delivered. We’re talking 220 tonnes of water shooting 20 metres high, 3,500 fireballs, trams weaving through the crowd, and a full-blown 70-piece marching band.
Yes, seventy. The standout? A killer snare drum break during “Tic Tac Toe”, with all nine members performing in military-chic formation.

Bonus: Hikaru absolutely smashed it on drums to kick things off.
Add in a dance battle with the team split stage left vs right, plus high-lift trusses, risers, moving walkways — basically, they gave us a visual buffet with no chance to blink.
Nine Solos, Nine Worlds
In a real treat for long-time fans, the group performed their solo songs live for the first time — all featured in their first best-of album, “THE BEST 2020–2025.”
Each stage had its own colour, vibe, and flair, spotlighting just how different — and complementary — the members are.
Whether it was Koji getting goofy, Raul going full fashion prince, or Sakkun giving us high-energy chaos, each solo felt like a peek into their inner worlds.
Sunset, Ballads, and the Bit Where Everyone Cried
As day shifted into night, the sky turned soft orange — perfect timing for a wardrobe switch into brown-red jackets and a string of ballads that had everyone swaying. Romantic doesn’t even begin to cover it.
And then came the finale.
As Meguro started tearing up mid-message, the emotional dam burst. Raul, Watanabe, and Sakuma followed, all sniffling through their last lines.
The crowd chanted "Meme!" to cheer him on, and honestly, you could feel the love soaking through the stadium. During “Dear,” the group floated above the crowd in gondolas, waving through blurry eyes at the fans who made this all possible.
Fireworks Finale: 9 Colours in the Night Sky

But wait — encore time. Dressed down in live T-shirts, Snow Man came back on for four more tracks, including the anthemic “We’ll go together.”
Just as the final chorus rang out, 3,000 fireworks in nine colours exploded over Tokyo’s sky. It was loud, dazzling, and beautifully symbolic — one colour for each member, lighting up the night.
All in all, they performed 39 songs over nearly three hours. And every minute felt like a celebration — not just of Snow Man’s five-year anniversary, but of every step, tear, and triumph that got them here.
Closing Words from the Members
-
Abe Ryohei: “When I’m with everyone — the fans, the members — I feel like anything is possible.”
-
Sakuma Daisuke: “This stage is proof we can dream even bigger together.”
-
Koji Mukai: “We want to share not just the fun, but all the feelings — highs and lows — with you from here on out.”
-
Raul: “When I looked out and saw everyone’s faces... they looked just like mine. That’s how connected we are.”
In Short?
Snow Man didn’t just make history at Kokuritsu — they made magic. And if this is only year five, the next chapter is going to be wild.
