In 2008, their single “Hakanakumo Towano no Kanashi” reached number 1 on the Oricon
weekly charts, and shortly afterwards, they successfully sold out their concerts at the
Nippon Budokan and Osakajo Hall on the same day.
In 2010, to celebrate their 10th anniversary and 5th anniversary of their major debut, they
held a concert at the Tokyo Dome, attracting 42,000 people and achieving great success.
Furthermore, in 2014, they held a solo concert at the Kyocera Dome Osaka, selling out
approximately 40,000 tickets on the same day.
Since 2009, they have been doing arena and live house tours,
drawing in about 200,000 to 300,000 people per tour.
Also, since 2011, they have been holding Otoko Matsuri(men-only)and Onna Matsuri
(women-only ),

selling out tickets to the Nippon Budokan (attracting about 10,000 people each for the men-
only and women-only days)

and the Yokohama Arena Otoko Matsuri (attracting about 12,000 people) on the same day.
In February 2017, they successfully held the Otoko Matsuri at Saitama Super Arena,

In August, they released their first album in three years, “TYCOON” (peaked at #1).
On July 18, 2018, they released their first best album in about nine years, “ALL TIME

On December 21, 2018, they performed two shows on the same day, a women’s festival at
the Nippon Budokan (12,000 people) in the afternoon and a men’s festival at the Yokohama
Arena (15,000 people) in the evening.
Their 10th album “UNSER” released in 2019 won first place in the Oricon Weekly Ranking.
In December of the same year, they held a two-day concert at the Tokyo Dome for the first
time in nine years.
On one of those days, December 20, they sold out the men’s festival “6 VS 45,000 people”
at the Tokyo Dome, setting a Japanese record.

Through the “men’s festival,” they spent a night that lived up to the name of their band,
“UVERworld,” where they felt that gender, nationality, age, and everything else was
meaningless.
For two years since 2020, they have spent their days searching for what they should and
could do despite various restrictions outside the music industry, but they embarked on an
unprecedented arena live tour with two performances in one day, embodying the important
relationship between music and people.
On July 29th and 30th, 2023, they will hold a two-day concert at Nissan Stadium.
On the second day, they held a “6 vs 72,000” men’s festival to break their own record,
which was a huge success.
The following year, in 2024, they will also hold concerts in Hawaii and Korea.
In June 2025, which marks the 25th anniversary of their formation and the 20th
anniversary of their major debut, they will hold their third concert at Tokyo Dome (2 days).
Tickets are expected to sell out immediately after going on sale.
Their way of life, where they simply take music seriously and keep running straight ahead,
has reached young people living today and continues to gain tremendous support.
