According
to Japanese media reports, Guan 8 is holding a tour of Japan's Five Dome for the eighth time in seven consecutive years. The performance starts from the Sapporo Dome on July 14 and ends at the Tokyo Dome from September 1 to September 3. A total of 12 performances are expected to mobilize 550,000 viewers. Starting in 2002 before Guan 8 debuted, the number of viewers mobilized for all concerts with this tour has exceeded 10 million.
Guan 8 officially debuted in 2004. This year marks the 15th anniversary of their debut. It has become the third group after SMAP and Lan that has mobilized more than 10 million viewers for concerts. The Guan 8 group has experienced a lot. Before their debut, they used Osaka as their base for activities. There were times when there were not many audiences. However, every member worked very hard. In addition to music, they also filmed and participated in variety shows. Since 2012, they have participated in the NHK Red and White Song Festival for seven consecutive years, and last year they also held a concert in Taiwan.
Although lead singer Akira Shibuya quit the group in July last year, the remaining members continue. In March, it was exposed again that Ryo Kando might leave the city, but Takashi Okura said: "We want to thank everyone. This time, the six of us will bring the best gift to make the eighth fans laugh. Please wait at the venue!"
