Big Bang vs. TVXQ Friendly Rivalry in Japanese Dome Tours

Big Bang and TVXQ are fanning the flame to their hot streaks scheduled to put Japanese domes on fire this year.

While TVXQ is currently on their Japanese five-dome tour (the first to be done by a K-pop artist), Big Bang announced that they will be holding a Japanese dome tour this coming November. The dome tour will begin on November 16 and 17 in Seibu Dome, followed by Osaka, Fukuoka, Nagoya, Tokyo and Sapporo for a total of 15 performances. YG is predicting to bring in about 720,000 fans to their concert tour.

According to YG Entertainment, a six-dome tour in Japan will be the first to be done by a foreign artist. Even among Japanese artists, Mr. Children is the only one to have done it. 

Also, G-Dragon recently completed a four-dome tour in Japan. It was the first to be done by a K-pop solo artist.

TVXQ, however, is on fire as well. Having begun their 'TVXQ Live Tour 2013 - Time' in April, they will have performed in five domes in Sapporo, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Osaka and Tokyo by the end of the tour. In addition, they will perform at Saitama's Super Arena and Yokohama's Nissan Stadium, which seats 75,000. TVXQ will be the first non-Japanese artist to perform at Nissan Stadium.

With the Japanese tour, TVXQ is projected to bring out about 850,000 fans.
