Background

On August 30, 2014, during the A-Nation Stadium Festival concert, Tohoshinki announced that they would embark on their second Dome tour in early 2015 in support for their tenth anniversary debut in Japan.[1][6] Following the duo's unveil, twelve dates for their tour were announced by their record label Avex Trax. On October 23, Avex announced the tour's supporting album With.[7] Due to high demand, two additional dates were announced for the Fukuoka Dome and Kyocera Dome Osaka on November 1.[8] On December 10, the official tour logo was revealed along with the announcement that two more dates were added in April for the Tokyo Dome, extending the With Tour to sixteen shows.[9][10] The tour's official website and merchandise were launched on January 8, 2015.

The final two shows at the Tokyo Dome on April 1–2 were filmed and released as a DVD and Blu-ray concert film on August 19, 2015, through Avex Trax in Japan.
