G-Dragon colored with Osaka daisy flowers...80,000 viewers

May 27, 2025

Singer G-Dragon filled Osaka, Kyocera Dome, Japan, with daisy flowers, and held a hot meeting with 80,000 audiences.

G-Dragon held a world tour 'G-Dragon 2025 World Tour Weavermansch' at Kyocera Dome Osaka, Japan, on the 25th and 26th. Despite the one-day performance on weekdays, Tokyo Dome and Kyocera Dome Osaka also sold out all seats with limited visibility, showing off the dignity of K-pop's leading solo artist.

The world tour, held in Osaka following Korea, Tokyo and Bulacan, drew attention by artistically expressing philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical concept, Ubermensch, and embodying the three stages of being reborn as a superman through storytelling. The grand and colorful stage filled with various technologies including artificial intelligence (AI) and butterfly-shaped lasers and performances based on real band sound made the audience's eyes and ears ecstatic.

In particular, at the Osaka performance, G-Dragon showed the power of K-pop KING in name and reality by leading the performance alone for more than two hours without guests. He appeared in the audience with a dragon-shaped dragon bike, which was the most responsive during the Tokyo Dome concert, singing 'Today (Feat. Kim Jong-wan of Nell)' and making the concert hall into a frenzy at once. Moreover, on the stage of '2 Bad (feat. Anderson .Paak)', dance break time unfolded, and from guitar-playing gestures to dances reminiscent of mime, the performance showed off the groove and cuteness, creating an explosive response.

At the same time, attention was paid to G-Dragon's costumes, which are representative fashionistas. Yohji Yamamoto, a world-renowned fashion designer who leads Japan's avant-garde fashion, made a special leather jacket using G-Dragon's portrait and daisy flowers, especially realizing his global reputation. Costume variations, such as introducing new costumes in each performance and adding white rose details to the sleeves of the red rose jacket that caught the eye, also added to the fun of watching. Meanwhile, Japanese contemporary artist and pop artist Takashi Murakami celebrated the performance with a daisy flower-shaped wreath.

Fans also responded with one voice to G-Dragon's passionate stage, adding to the emotion. Fans who were waiting for the encore stage sang Big Bang's 'Heaven' and shouted G-Dragon, which was released in 2008, and the daisy flower garden filled the entire dome was spectacular and kept their eyes peeled. Moreover, despite the drizzle, fans formed a long line to buy goods, making them feel their passion for G-Dragon.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon will continue performing in Macau for three days from June 7 following performances in Tokyo, Bulacan, and Osaka, followed by a third world tour in nine Asian cities, including Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Hong Kong, and Bangkok, and two Australian cities, including Sydney and Melbourne. Further tour dates and locations will be revealed later.
