Yokohama Arena
Yokohama Arena (横浜アリーナ, Yokohama Arīna) is an indoor arena located in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. The arena has a capacity of 17,000 and was opened in 1989. The arena was modeled after US sports venue Madison Square Garden in New York City. It is a five-minute walk from the closest station, Shin-Yokohama Station on the JR/Yokohama Municipal Subway.
As one of the largest concert venues in the Kantō region, it is a frequent location for artists to end their tours. The spacious stage allows for more complex set design and lighting, but the reasonable size makes it easier to sell out than the Tokyo Dome.
The arena uses the computer-controlled Lambda system.
The Yokohama Arena was opened on April 1, 1989. The opening celebration concert on that day was performed by renowned Japanese singer-songwriter Yumi Matsutoya, and the three upcoming days were additional dates of her concert tour. Many notable Japanese music acts performed at the arena, alphabetically: AKB48, Namie Amuro, Angerme, Aqours, B'z, Babymetal, Band-Maid, Buck-Tick, Coldrain (who would release their live album 15x(5+U) Live at Yokohama Arena) °C-ute, Gackt, Dir En Grey, The Gazette, Gen Hoshino, Glay, Ayumi Hamasaki, hide, Hinatazaka46, Hi-Standard (who would release their live album Live at Yokohama Arena 20181222) Ikimono-gakari, Koshi Inaba, L'Arc-en-Ciel, LiSA, Luna Sea, Misia, Nana Mizuki, NICO Touches the Walls, Momoiro Clover Z, Chisato Moritaka, Morning Musume, Mr. Children, Nogizaka46, One Ok Rock, Ai Otsuka, Yutaka Ozaki, Scandal, Silent Siren, Southern All Stars, Hikaru Utada, X Japan and humanoid projection Hatsune Miku.
