From April 2024, they completed a monumental world tour spanning 51 performances across 22 countries, drawing an astonishing 1.01 million attendees. As they approach their 15th anniversary in 2025, they are set to hold their first-ever arena tour in the UK and Europe in May. The London tour finale on May 30 marked a historic sold-out solo performance at The O2 Arena, making them the first Japanese group to achieve this feat. In August, they released their fourth original album, ‘METAL FORTH,’ which achieved another milestone by becoming the first Japanese group to break into the Top 10 of the U.S. Billboard Album Overall Chart. Looking ahead, they will perform arena shows at Intuit Dome in Los Angeles and Arena CDMX in Mexico in November, with highly anticipated homecoming performances at Saitama Super Arena scheduled for January 10 and 11, 2026.
