Sutopuri Completes 10th Anniversary Arena Tour with 13 Shows and 150,000 Fans

Japanese 2.5-dimensional idol group Sutopuri has completed their 10th anniversary arena tour, Sutroberry Memory Vol.10th anniversary ~Sutopuri ARENA TOUR~, with a final performance at Tokyo’s National Yoyogi Stadium First Gymnasium on August 20, 2026. The tour spanned 13 shows across four cities from June to August, drawing a total of approximately 150,000 fans.

Before the final show began, members Rinu and Ruuto delivered a shadow announcement, playfully guiding the audience through venue rules while exchanging their usual banter, building excitement for the night ahead.

A Royal Entrance and a Decade of Memories

As the lights dimmed, the sound of a ticking clock filled the arena, and a white curtain dropped from the stage. An animated sequence depicting each member’s personal journey played on the massive LED screen, reminding everyone of the paths and fateful encounters that led to this moment. After a 10-second countdown, spotlights revealed the members riding a crown-shaped gondola high above the stage. Dressed in luxurious new costumes with capes in their signature colors, they descended slowly while performing “Prince,” a song that opens with a pinky-promise gesture for “always being together.” They continued with “Proposal,” promising eternal happiness with elegant steps and graceful turns—truly a prince-like presence.

High-Energy Numbers and Unit Collaborations

The mashup of “Here We Go!!” and “AGAIN” saw sparklers lighting up the stage as the members moved down the runway to the center stage, waving to the crowd. On the rotating center stage, they showed off their dance skills with capes swirling.

Satomi called out, “Give me your vocal cords!” before launching into the self-introduction number “Next Stage!!.” The members then boarded trolleys that traveled through the arena aisles, soaking in the cheers.

Back on the main stage, “Suki Suki Seijin” featured warm hugs between Satomi and Ruuto, and Rinu, Koron, and Jel, along with blown kisses to the audience. The sequel “Iya Iya Seijin” showcased perfectly synchronized dance moves, with members joining hands and forming heart shapes—proof that their bond has only deepened over the decade.

The mood shifted with “STRIKE the PRISON!!,” a provocative song and dance performed under red lights, showing a cooler side of the group.

In a collaboration corner featuring the original animated series “Tooi-san” created by Jel, the members appeared in both 2D and 3D forms. Dressed in black, Koron and Satomi performed “Yuujuu Fuotoko Boy” with a mature vibe—Koron sipping from a whiskey glass and Satomi lounging on a sofa. Then Koron and Jel teamed up for “Spiel,” with Jel’s shirt unbuttoned to reveal his chest, accelerating fans’ heartbeats.

Rinu and Ruuto, both in cute styling, rode a trolley through the arena and then walked hand-in-hand to the center stage for “Gimi Gimi Kimi!,” sharing hugs in a heartwarming scene. Satomi and Jel, in tight black outfits, delivered a sultry performance of “Nou nai Piero” at stand mics. The “traffic light” trio of Rinu, Ruuto, and Koron brought lively energy to “Michishirube.” These varied unit combinations highlighted the group’s versatility.

New Costumes and Dynamic Performances

After changing into new black-and-white costumes, the members returned for “GO GO CRAZY,” with sparklers framing the stage. “Ride on Time” featured fireballs, and “Bokura dake no Shangri-la” combined both effects, with dancers adding to the dynamic show. The audience’s energy was palpable, as members later commented on the loud cheers and heat. The call-and-response during “Streamer” further strengthened the sense of unity.

A medley from Koron’s first full album “Aster” included “Pampi ja nai no yo!!,” “Kibou no Chuu shiyo,” “Daiuchuu Rendezvous,” “Gingira Ginga,” and “Strawberry Planet!,” with the members riding trolleys around the stand aisles, eager to get closer to every fan.

Emotional Moments and a Promise to Move Forward

The concert then took a deeply emotional turn. After a video capturing the turbulent period, including Jel’s hiatus and return, the group performed “33414” and “Stars and Prayers,” songs released during that time. “Mabushigariya” began with an a cappella passage, with the members carefully layering their voices, and the line “Let’s go together” struck a chord. For “Anniversary,” they boarded the crown-shaped gondola again, vowing to make every day a “commemoration day” for their fans. Rinu’s words, “Because you all support us, we can keep walking. It’s thanks to you. Thank you,” moved many in the audience.

A medley synced with the 2024 film “Gekijouban Sutopuri: Hajimari no Monogatari ~Strawberry School Festival!!!~” included “Umareta Sono Toki kara,” “Niji no Hajimari,” “Uten Kekkou,” and “Chikai no Hanataba wo ~With You~,” followed by a string of hits like “Amore Mio,” “Hari Hari Rabu,” and “Karisuma de Biru!.” These special medleys were a highlight of the anniversary show.

Koron teased, “Shall we start the final revolution?” and Satomi added, “Everything is our precious memory. We’ll sing with that feeling,” before performing “Kakumei Zenya.” The song embodied their decade of trusting each other and breaking the mold.

Finale and Surprises

The main set closed with “Cinderella e.,” whose music video was released on June 4, 2026, the day of their 10th anniversary. The song reinforced the special relationship between the members and their fans—fans as Cinderella, and the group as princes.

For the encore, the members appeared in school uniforms and performed a medley of the “Parade” series: “Parade wa Koko sa,” “Parade e Okaeri,” and “Parade wa Koko kara.” They rode trolleys through the arena, tossing color balls to the audience as a special fan service. The call-and-response grew even more enthusiastic.

Satomi looked into the camera and declared, “I love you,” before “Chekkira☆.” The crowd also cheered for the killer phrase “I can only make you happy” in “Daisuki ni Nareba Iin ja nai?” and the exchange of “Tadaima” and “Okaeri” in “Okaeri Rabu!.”

A large strawberry-shaped cake was surprise-gifted by the staff, and the members happily ate it before making major announcements. The final show’s live footage would be streamed on the live streaming service TwitCasting Premium, and the group would perform at the large outdoor music festival “a-nation” on October 3 at Odaiba, Tokyo—their first appearance at an outdoor music festival.

Rinu expressed the group’s collective feelings: “We can take on new challenges and make new promises thanks to all of you who support us. Thank you so much. We’ll keep working to deliver love and gratitude through our activities!” They then performed their first original song, “Strawberry Prince Forever.”

On the rising rotating center stage, the members sang while looking out at the audience, basking in the mass chorus. It was a scene neither the members nor the fans will ever forget.

After a microphone-less “Arigatou gozaimashita!” from all members, the show seemed to end, but the audience’s persistent encore calls brought the members back for a double encore. They performed “Dreaming Parade,” the title track from the limited film live “Dreaming Parade” included on the Blu-ray bonus of their first best album “Strawberry Prince Forever.” The song, over 60 minutes long, once again invited everyone into a dreamlike world—a fitting finale for the anniversary tour.

Looking Ahead

Having supported many fans’ hearts over the past decade, Sutopuri continues to pave new paths, fueled by all their memories and the bonds with their listeners. Their belief in taking on any challenge to make fans happy remains unwavering. As they move beyond this major milestone, the possibilities for this one-of-a-kind group are sure to expand even further.
