This was announced during the encore on the first day of the "Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS LIVE TOUR 2025 'KINGDOM'" performance at Tokyo Dome in Tokyo today, June 4. Their first solo stadium live of their career will be held to commemorate Sandaime's 15th anniversary of their major debut.
Naoki Kobayashi, Takanori Iwata, and ØMI attend group interview

Before the start of the dome performance, Naoki Kobayashi, Takanori Iwata, and ØMI participated in a group interview. Regarding this tour, their eighth dome tour, Kobayashi commented, "We recently kicked off the tour in Saitama (Belluna Dome), and the excitement exceeded our imagination; we feel a tremendous response. This being our eighth dome tour, we've done many different kinds of tours, but personally, I think this one is the most entertaining, so I really want many people to see it." ØMI stated, "We discussed what kind of content to have for this 15th anniversary timing and decided on 'KINGDOM,' a word that is self-assertive and very inspiring for us. I believe the content is worthy of that name." Iwata seemed to be feeling a positive response to the tour, saying, "I've realized anew on this tour that when the seven members feel joy performing, that surely becomes the best entertainment for MATE (the name for Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS fans). The fact that it feels like it ends in an instant is proof that it's fun. This time we only have seven shows, so I wish we could have done about double that (laughs). That's how I feel."
It's kind of emotional, it makes you cry
Regarding the newly announced stadium performance "Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS 15th ANNIVERSARY STADIUM LIVE 'JSB FOREVER ~ONE~'," ØMI said, "The members had been talking about 'wanting to do it someday,' but stadium shows can't happen unless various conditions are met. Over our 15 years of activity, there might have been other chances to try a stadium show, but when the opportunity arose to hold one in this significant 15th anniversary year, with schedules and other conditions aligning, we decided to definitely take on the challenge at this time. We're incredibly grateful to finally be able to hold our own solo stadium performance. Having performed on such a large scale for so long, there were times I felt we had nothing left to accomplish, but finding there are still things left undone is a blessing as an artist, and being able to challenge them again is a joy. And I envision a stadium performance where we can share that joy with all our fans," expressing his joy about holding the solo stadium performance long-awaited by the members.
Sandaime was unveiled on Sept. 27, 2010, at Toyota Stadium in Aichi during "FANTASY Kōyasai ~EXILE Damashii~" (an after-show event for an EXILE tour). Iwata said, "We started as a group of amateurs brought together, but the first stage we ever stood on was actually a stadium, so in that sense, it's one of our roots. For everyone who has supported us since then, it's like... it's kind of emotional, it makes you cry... I think it will be content packed with 15 years," expressing his deep emotion that their solo performance at a stadium, their starting point, is coming true on their 15th anniversary. ØMI asserted, "We haven't finalized everything yet, but it will undoubtedly be a live show with content that will make the fans happy." It looks to be a performance that anyone who has encountered Sandaime's music over these 15 years can enjoy.
Turning "ZERO" into "ONE" for their 15th debut anniversary
The title of the stadium performance, "JSB FOREVER ~ONE~," was created by combining "JSB FOREVER," suggested by ØMI, with "ONE," suggested by Imaichi, from various words the members proposed. According to ØMI, "ONE" signifies moving to the next step on their 15th anniversary, evolving from the "ZERO" in the title of Sandaime's first arena tour in 2012, "Sandaime J Soul Brothers LIVE TOUR 2012 '0~ZERO~'."
Tokyo Dome day 1 live report

"Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS LIVE TOUR 2025 'KINGDOM'" kicked off on May 24 at Belluna Dome in Saitama. On this tour, spanning seven performances in five cities, their representative songs such as "R.Y.U.S.E.I." and "Summer Madness feat. Afrojack" were performed, as well as their latest songs "New Page" and "ICE BREAKER," which were just digitally released in May, with MATE enjoying the live show that lasted over two hours.

Sandaime, appearing in gorgeous costumes identical to their latest artist photos, performed aggressive numbers like "BLAZE," symbolizing Sandaime's continuous progress as seven united members even as they approach their 15th anniversary; "RAISE THE FLAG," which incites the audience with "Raise the flag!"; and their representative song "O.R.I.O.N.," which gets lively with call-and-response. Iwata, with accessories and sweat glistening on his chest through his wide-open red shirt, looked delighted as he shouted, "I missed you! Did you guys miss me?!" NAOTO, who danced wearing a crown at the beginning, also happily talked about showing a "new side," saying, "After 15 years, I thought there was nothing we hadn't done, but (for the first time) I'm dancing wearing a crown. I have it fixed tightly on my head so it doesn't fall off." As expected from their eighth dome tour, the seven members were perfectly at ease, engaging in relaxed conversation in front of the large audience.
Sandaime greatly excited the attendees with performances full of individuality, including each member's solo stage and performances while riding floats around the dome. Towards the end, they performed "Rat-tat-tat," a dance tune where the entire venue dances and has fun together, and "RAINBOW," a highly popular song among fans with lyrics written by ØMI and ELLY thinking of the seven members, ending the main part of the show with great excitement.
During the encore, the "Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS 15th ANNIVERSARY STADIUM LIVE 'JSB FOREVER ~ONE~'" was announced via video. To the venue filled with joyous cheers, ØMI declared, "Our next stage is the stadium! MATE, you're coming with us, right? We're going to make history! Let's go!" The seven members then performed "J.S.B. DREAM" as their final song. Ryuji Imaichi also shouted, "This stadium show will make our dreams and everyone's dreams come true! Follow us, everyone! JSB!" With radiant expressions, the seven members disappeared behind the screen.
