YG Entertainment announced that BIGBANG successfully kicked off their “BIGBANG JAPAN DOME TOUR 2014~2015 ‘X’ ”, which is Japan’s 5 Largest Dome Tour they hold for 2 years in a row for the first time as foreign artists.

Kick started in Nagoya Dome on Nov 15, the concert was opened by YG’s newest boy group formed on the survival program “MIX & MATCH,” the 7 members of iKON. The 7 boys performed ‘LONG TIME NO SEE’ and ‘SINOSIJAK’ that they showcased in the final episode of MIX & MATCH. At a Korea-China-Japan fan meeting, iKON was greeted enthusiastically by the Japanese fans in Osaka, attracting 40,000 of them. And the new group once again proved their popularity at BIGBANG’s concert as the fans cheered them on powerfully.
