On July 1st, EXILE wrapped up their dome tour, 'EXILE TRIBE LIVE TOUR 2012', at Sapporo Dome in Hokkaido.

This tour was an entertainment show with the concept "tower of wish", where the artists of EXILE TRIBE embodied their dreams and possibilities. A total of 10 groups (303 performers) held 17 shows in 6 cities with a total audience of 730,000 people.

Over 40,000 fans gathered at Sapporo Dome on the final night, where the members of EXILE sang their new song, "Ano Sora no Hoshi no You ni...". ATSUSHI expressed, "I'm very sad, I don't want it to end. But, the performers did our best that if we died tomorrow, we wouldn't regret it."



The concert featured a debut performance from a new band called ACE OF SPADES. This 4-member band is comprised of GLAY's guitarist HISASHI and�EXILE's vocalist TAKAHIRO.�GLAY and EXILE previously collaborated back in 2005, when they formed the unit GLAY�EXILE for "SCREAM". They�performed 3 tracks off of their debut single, "WILD TRIBE", which will be released on August 22nd.

It has been already announced that EXILE will be releasing their new single "BOW & ARROWS" on July 25th.�After energetically performing song�"I Wish For You", ATSUSHI captivated the crowd with his solo songs. He also invited m-flo's VERBAL on stage and did a duet of their collaboration song, "Change My Mind". Then when ATUSHI sang with piano, he muttered�"I don't want it to end..." with tears glistening in his eyes.



During the encore, they announced on a large screen that "24karats TRIBE OF GOLD" which is song of�EXILE TRIBTE (EXILE & Sandaime J Soul Brothers), will be a theme song for the upcoming Fuji TV drama, 'GTO'.
