SHINee debuted in Japan only a year ago however their first arena tour is receiving an explosive response.

Due to overwhelming response of fans SHINee decided to add six additional dates for their first nationwide Japan tour ‘The First Japan Arena Tour –SHINee World 2012’ kicking off in April.

The six additional dates are one performance in Nagoya, three more performances in Osaka and 2 additional performances in Tokyo.

The explosive response from fans is not surprising as the group garnered international attention for successfully hosing a showcase in England’s Abbey Road Studio, known as the Beatles’ studio. As well as SHINee’s Japanese debut single ‘Replay’ released last June placed all three of their singles ‘Replay,’ ‘Juliet’ and ‘Lucifer’ on top 3 of Oricon singles chart. This is was a first time for a foreign artist to rank in the singles chart for three times in a row during the 44 years of Oricon chart.

SHINee fans are excited waiting for the tour to kick off in just few days.
