Time: Live Tour 2013
(stylized as
Tohoshinki Live Tour 2013 ~TIME~
), also known as the
Time Tour
, was the sixth Japanese
concert tour
(tenth overall) by South Korean pop duo
Tohoshinki
, in support of their sixth Japanese studio album
Time
(2013). The tour visited all five of Japan's major concert Domes and the
Nissan Stadium
, the largest seated stadium in Japan.
One of the highest-grossing concert tours of the year, it grossed over US$90 million from 18 shows.
[1]
A sell-out, the tour attracted over 890,000 people
[2]
from 18 shows and an additional 30,000 people from cinema screenings, a dramatic increase from the 550,000 fans who attended their last nationwide tour in 2012.
[3]
The Time Tour broke several attendance records in the country; it was the first Dome tour held by non-Japanese Asian performers and the fourth held by international artists in Japan. Among Japanese-singing artists, Tohoshinki were the sixteenth artists to do so. The tour was the highest-attended tour by an international music act in Japan. The duo were also the first international artists to headline a concert at the Nissan Stadium in
Yokohama
. Tohoshinki have said on their first five-Dome tour, "It's a dream come true."

The tour was officially announced on November 22, 2012, by Tohoshinki's Korean agency,
S.M. Entertainment
. Commencing the tour with three shows at the
Saitama Super Arena
in April 2013, the tour then embarked on its five-Dome tour, which include the
Sapporo Dome
,
Nagoya Dome
,
Fukuoka Yahoo! Dome
,
Kyocera Osaka Dome
, and the
Tokyo Dome
, consisting of twelve dates over a period of three months. An S.M. representative said, "Any concert hall with a ‘dome’ in it is a place where only the best get to stand. This proves just how big TVXQ is in Japan."
[3]
On February 21, 2013, four more dates were added to their five-Dome tour, including one extra performance at the Nagoya Dome, two at the Kyocera Dome and one at the Tokyo Dome, increasing the expected to attend to more than 700,000.
[5]
Tohoshinki are the first non-Japanese Asian artists to hold a complete five-Dome tour in Japan, and the sixteenth Japanese-singing artists to do so. Among other foreign artists who have held five-Dome tours, Tohoshinki came in fourth, following
Bon Jovi
in 2003, the
Eagles
in 2004 and
Billy Joel
in 2006.
[5]
On April 27, 2013, during the duo's first show in Saitama, they announced that the tour's final shows would be held at the
Nissan Stadium
, Japan's largest seated stadium, on August 17 and 18. Tohoshinki are the first international musical act to perform at the venue,
[6]
setting another record for being the first foreign artists in Japan to bring in an audience of over 850,000.
[7]
An additional 30,000 people watched the
Nissan Stadium
concert live in theaters across Japan.
