Three-man boy band JYJ, who recently finished their dome tour at Tokyo last month, will continue to hold their dome concerts at Osaka and Fukuoka this month, the band’s management agency C-Jes Entertainment announced, Tuesday.
They had been restricted from performing in Japan after their Japanese agency AVEX suspended the contract in Sept. 2010. After going through five-year-long legal battle, C-Jes Entertainment and AVEX came to an agreement to settle all legal disputes last February.
“The dome tour in Japan means a lot to them as the series of concerts show the band is no longer restricted from performing in Japan,” the company said in a statement.
Comprised of three former members of TVXQ ― Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu ― the band was founded in 2010.
Under the title of “Ichigo Ichie” (one time, one meeting in Japanese), the band finished their Tokyo Dome concert last month and garnered more than 100,000 audiences for the two-day concerts. It was the band’s third Tokyo Dome concert after “Thanksgiving Live in Dome” in June 2010 and “The Return of the JYJ” in April 2013.
JYJ will perform at Osaka Kyocera Dome on Dec. 13 and 14 and at Fukuoka Yahoo! Japan Dome on Dec. 23 and 24.
