ATEEZ kicked off the next leg of its “ATEEZ 2025 WORLD TOUR [IN YOUR FANTASY]” in Japan with three one-off concerts in Saitama.

Since July 2025, ATEEZ has been meeting ATINYs (fandom name) in South Korea and North America with “ATEEZ 2025 WORLD TOUR [IN YOUR FANTASY]“. This month, it’s the turn of Japanese ATINYs to experience the group’s new show. The Japanese tour kicked off with three concerts from September 13th to 15th at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama. This Japan tour is the largest since its debut, demonstrating ATEEZ‘s significant popularity in the country.

To mark this new leg of the tour, ATEEZ offered a surprise performance of “Ash” and “Crescendo” from its new album “ASHES TO LIGHT“. With a captivating performance of these new songs, ATEEZ once again demonstrated its status as a top-tier artist. The members particularly expressed their enthusiasm to perform these new songs in front of ATINYs: “We are really happy to be able to share our songs with ATINY before the release.“
