Fans who Friday surrounded Tokyo Dome – which can accommodate up to 55,000 people – included many without tickets, who came just for the atmosphere.
Ticketless Russian tourist Viktoria Diatlova, 27, expressed love for the boy band, saying their music “has such a beautiful message”.
Noa Iwaasa, 22, a hairdresser in Tokyo, said: “BTS is part of my life, as I’ve been listening to them since I was a student.”
The two concerts are on Friday and Saturday.
