48 idols, 5 domes, one summer — the idol industrial complex at maximum overdrive.
AKB48 2013 Manatsu no Dome Tour ~Mada mada, Yaranakya Ikenai koto ga aru~, is AKB48's summer concert, along with Nissan Stadium. Instead of just one dome concert, AKB48 will be touring Japan's 5 Big Domes as a concert instead.
Production
Five domes' worth of pyrotechnics and costume changes.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 2013 tour coincided with AKB48's absolute commercial peak, grossing billions while paying members roughly $10K annually.
The Nissan Stadium finale featured all 48 members simultaneously on stage—a logistical nightmare that required 17 minutes just for introductions.
