ARASHI have finally dropped the full schedule for their last-ever concert tour, and the entire fandom is feeling that mix of excitement and “please don’t let this end yet”. The group, who will officially close their activities in spring 2026, announced the dates for ARASHI LIVE TOUR 2026 “We are ARASHI” on 22 November via their fan club site — instantly sending social media into a frenzy.
During a special fan club–only livestream, all five members — Aiba Masaki, Ohno Satoshi, Sakurai Sho, Ninomiya Kazunari, and Matsumoto Jun — appeared together to personally reveal the news.

Starting 13 March, the group will tour five major domes across Japan: Sapporo, Tokyo, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Osaka. The final show is set for 31 May in Tokyo, marking what many expect to be the last time fans can see all five on stage together.
Shortly after the livestream, the full schedule went up on STARTO Entertainment’s official site and ARASHI’s official channels.
Their message, both in Japanese and English, thanked fans for their patience and support, emphasising that they hope everyone will “keep running alongside us right to the very end”.
Fans Flood Social Media: Joy, Panic, Nostalgia All at Once
Within minutes, related keywords like “WeareARASHI”, “嵐のツアー日程”, and “嵐のライブ” shot straight into the trending lists. Reactions ranged from heartfelt to downright frantic:
-
“Please let me see them just once more.”
-
“Now that the dates are out, I can actually feel the end coming and it hurts.”
-
“I’m shaking. This is really the last chapter.”
-
“With these dates… do I even stand a chance in the ticket lottery?”
Many were also surprised that the tour doesn’t include a National Stadium date — a venue long associated with the group’s iconic large-scale shows.
Comments like “No National Stadium?” and “I thought they’d end it there…” appeared across multiple platforms.
Still, for most fans, the focus is clear: if you can grab tickets, you absolutely do it. It’s genuinely a “now or never” moment.
ARASHI’s Last Run: A Milestone in J-Pop History
ARASHI have been an undeniable force in Japanese entertainment since their 1999 debut with “A·RA·SHI”.
From topping annual sales charts to becoming a household name through music, variety shows, dramas, and films, their influence is in a league of its own.
Even during their past hiatus, each member continued leading successful solo careers, but their reunion for this final tour is something fans have been wishing for.
Back on 6 May, the fan club was first informed that the group would return for one last tour before officially concluding their group activities.
Now that the dates are confirmed, the reality is settling in — and it’s bittersweet.
