About the Concert
STARTO ENTERTAINMENT’s signature annual New Year’s Eve celebration, "COUNTDOWN CONCERT 2025–2026 STARTO to MOVE," was held at the iconic Tokyo Dome.
The origins of this landmark event date back to 1996, when it was established as a regional charity fundraising initiative led by the legacy group V6. Over the decades, it has evolved into a premier musical extravaganza, bringing together a prestigious roster of the agency’s artists to ring in the new year before a massive audience.
The 2025–2026 edition featured an impressive lineup of J-pop’s most prominent acts, including NEWS, Hey! Say! JUMP, Kis-My-Ft2, timelesz, Kento Nakajima, A.B.C-Z, King & Prince, SixTONES, Snow Man, Naniwa Danshi, Travis Japan, and Ae! group. In addition to showcasing their respective contemporary hits, the performers captivated the sold-out crowd with exclusive "mix-and-match" medleys, reinterpreting classic STARTO tracks from across various eras in a unique collaborative format.
Exclusive Documentary Release
Following the global streaming of the main concert, a Netflix-exclusive behind-the-scenes documentary is scheduled for worldwide release on January 30th. This bonus feature offers an intimate look into the production and preparations behind the massive Tokyo Dome showcase.
Viewers can register for notifications via the official Netflix title page to receive an alert once the documentary becomes available.
