AKB48's First Tokyo Dome concert announced at Saitama Super Arena Concert!


Kicking start the concert at Saitama Super Arena earlier today, AKB48 announced that they will be holding their first concert at the Tokyo Dome! It brought such strong cheers from the crowd that even on live streaming through Youtube, I can also hear the crowd's cheers in the background while the announcement video clip played.

Date of the Tokyo Dome concert is not revealed yet.

1830 is actually the distance in meters between the Tokyo Dome and the AKB48 Theater

UPDATE (24th May):
It was revealed on Youtube by Takahashi Minami that the dates of the concert would be on the 24th to the 26th of August.


Extra Update (26th August):
Acchan's speech at the Tokyo Dome concert final day -

「私は小さいころから人見知りでした。誰かに話しかけられても、すぐにお母さんの後ろに隠れてしまうような子でした。そんな私でも、今、4万8000人の皆さんの前に立っているのがとても不思議で、幸せでいっぱいです。

正直、すごく寂しいです。ですが、自分で決めた道です。前に、ここから歩き出したいと思います。

こんな私を、AKB48のメンバーの一員として、ここまで応援してくださった皆さん、本当に、本当にありがとうございました。

(あっちゃんコールに約1分間、頭を下げ続ける)

これからも、AKB48のことを応援よろしくお願いします。こんなにたくさんの方に、背中を押していただけて、旅立つことができる私は、本当に幸せ者です。AKB48は、私の青春のすべてでした」

Translation from tokyohive:

“I was shy ever since I was small. Whenever someone talked to me, I would immediately hide behind my mom. It’s a mystery that a person like me can stand in front of 48,000 people right now. I’m full of happiness.

Honestly, I’m very sad. However, it’s the path I’ve decided for myself. I would like to take a step forward from here.

To everyone who has supported someone like me as a member of AKB48 until now, thank you very very much.

(Maeda keeps her head lowered during a minute of Acchan call.)

Please continue to support AKB48 in the future. I’m really a fortunate person to be able to start my journey with so much people supproting me from behind. AKB48 was my entire youth.“
