PROFILE

The name Tohoshinki, which means "Rising Gods of the East," was given to the group in the hopes that their fame would spread from all areas of Asia out to the rest of the world. In February 2004, they made their debut in Korea. They also made their debut in Japan as newcomers to the J-pop scene in April 2005. Their overwhelming popularity didn't end in Korea and Japan though, as they made themselves known throughout different parts of Asia and held Asia tours in 2006 and 2007.
After their much-anticipated comeback in 2011, fans from Asia to the West couldn't get enough of them, leading to global-level group activities.
In 2013, they held their first major dome tour at five locations, becoming the first foreign artist to hold a solo concert at the Nissan Stadium. Through their tours "Tohoshinki Live Tour 2012 ~TONE~," "Tohoshinki Live Tour 2013 ~Time~," and "Tohoshinki Live Tour 2014 ~Tree~" held over three years, they became the foreign artist to mobilize 2 million concert attendees the fastest to date. They celebrated the 10th anniversary of their Japan debut in 2015, holding their second tour at five major domes with electrifying stage performances. 
In 2017, they resumed activities after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus, mobilizing 780,000 attendees to their nationwide tour at five major domes. They also held a previously unheard of streak of three days of performances at the Nissan Stadium, becoming the first foreign artist to bring in over 1 million attendees during a single tour. 
In 2018, they set out on their largest tour to date, with a nationwide arena and dome tour including 33 performances, and in October 2019, they released their 15th-anniversary album "XV." The album ranked first on the Oricon weekly album chart, updating their record as the foreign artist with the most number 1 albums, among many other outstanding records.
They held a nationwide tour at five major domes that kicked off in November 2019, and on April 27, 2020, they celebrated the 15th anniversary of their debut in Japan.
