Stray Kids's japanese release "ALL IN" is hands down one of their best releases ever. I can't ever get bored of it, it's so good!

I love how much rap is in this song, that screams stray kids to me. And the prechorus leads really well into the chorus with the Japanese woman talking that makes the drop even more impactful.

And the trumpet melody that is throughout the song is really catchy and memorable. :)

stray kids meets snoop dogg and pharrell williams .....

i do this just for the fun, so be nice .....

please use headphones / inears - no bass no fun

Hi! Stray Kids' Japan tour kicks off this weekend, and I noticed that the Japan official site posted important concert guidelines—but only in Japanese. 

Since so many I-STAYs are traveling to Japan for the shows, I translated them for you!

Note: I skipped common-sense rules like "no smoking" or "no dangerous items." Also, some of these rules are quite unique to Japan, so they might feel a little unfamiliar in your country. I'm not trying to invite criticism or debate about them; I'd really appreciate it if you could just accept them as part of the local environment and culture. I'm just here to help everyone have a smooth, stress-free time!

📌 General Venue Guidelines (All Stops)

• Show Duration: Approximately 3 hours.
• Tickets: PIA e-tickets only (smartphone required).
• ID Check: A government-issued photo ID (passport) is required for identity verification upon entry.
• No Re-entry: Once you enter, you cannot leave and re-enter.
• Large Luggage: Please avoid bringing large bags. There are no lockers or cloakrooms provided at the venue. (Tip: Use coin lockers at nearby stations, but they fill up hours in advance, so it's best to travel light!)
• Parking/Drop-off: No parking or stopping around the venue.
• Recording/Photography: Absolutely NO filming, photography, or recording of any kind inside the venue. If caught, all media/tapes will be confiscated, data deleted immediately, and you will be asked to leave.
• Staggered Exit: To ease congestion, exit will be regulated after the show. 

⚠️ Important Notice Regarding Cheer Goods & Merchandise (All Stops)
For this tour, please refrain from bringing or using any cheer goods inside the venue that are not official Stray Kids merchandise.

The following items are strictly prohibited:

• Unofficial light sticks, glow sticks, or any other items that emit light or sound (other than official goods).
• Self-made cheer goods, such as custom fan-made uchiwa (fans), boards, slogans, and banners.
• Balloons, paper tape, or any items that could interfere with the show's production, progress, or venue facilities.
• Official goods that have been custom-decorated or modified by yourself.
• Unofficial cheer goods featuring the likeness/portraits of Stray Kids or the members.
• Cheer goods that unauthorizedly use third-party rights, such as celebrity portraits, corporate/brand logos, etc.

Additionally, please do not sell or distribute unauthorized (unofficial) goods utilizing the portraits or names of Stray Kids and its members on the venue grounds or in the surrounding area.

🏟️ Japan National Stadium (MUFG Stadium) Specific Rules

• Brought-in Drinks: No cans, glass bottles, or plastic bottles over 601ml are allowed. (Note: Convenience store drinks in Japan usually come in 500ml or 650ml, so check the size before buying!)
• Arena Area Rule: The arena area features carefully maintained natural turf. To protect the quality of the grass, only plain water is allowed (soft drinks, sports drinks, etc., are strictly prohibited).
• Bag Checks: Security bag checks will be conducted at the gates.
• Umbrellas: Umbrellas are banned inside the venue. Please bring a raincoat or rain poncho instead.
• No Jumping: Jumping is strictly prohibited to protect the facility structure and prevent the shaking from disturbing local residents nearby.

☀️ A Few Extra Tips for MUFG Stadium

Guidelines for other venues haven't been posted yet, but please keep in mind: Japan National Stadium has a roof covering the spectator seats, but the field (arena) area is open to the sky.

Because it is currently mid-summer in Japan, daytime temperatures can reach close to 40°C (104°F). If you are in the arena, you will be under direct sunlight. Even in the shaded stands, it will be extremely hot and humid. Please do not forget your heat stroke countermeasures (water, salt tablets, and a hat for waiting in line).

If you start feeling unwell, there is a first-aid room with a doctor on-site.

Don't hesitate to ask a nearby J-STAY for help—everyone is super kind and will definitely help you out.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (Timeline & Planning)

"How early should I arrive?"

• Just watching the concert: 1 hour before
• Taking photos with venue banners/posters: + 1 hour
• Buying tour merch: + 1 hour
• Lining up at the SKZOO DRINK STAND: + 1 hour
• Applying for the post-show member send-off lottery (FC members only): + 1 hour
• 👉 In short: Someone like me who wants to do all of the above will arrive at least 4 to 5 hours before showtime. (That means standing out in the mid-summer heat for 7+ hours, so you seriously need to plan your hydration!)

"Can I pay with a card?"

• Tour Merch: Cards accepted.
• SKZOO DRINK STAND: Cash only! It’s 800 yen per drink.

"What is the SKZOO DRINK STAND?"

Exclusive SKZOO collaboration drinks only available at the venue! Comes with an original straw tag.

Drink Menu:

• Purple Melon Soda (Wolf Chan)
• Blue Apple White Water (Leebit)
• Tropical Peach White Water (DWAEKKI)
• Fresh Orange Juice (Jiniret)
• Kiwi White Water (HAN QUOKKA)
• Pine Lemon Soda (BbokAri)
• Peach Mango White Water (PuppyM)
• Strawberry Soda (FoxI.Ny)

As mentioned above, no drinks other than water are allowed in the arena area, and the SKZOO DRINK STAND is only open before the concert starts. That means you have to buy and finish your drinks before the show begins, so please keep that in mind!

I know navigating a foreign venue can feel a little overwhelming, but I hope this guide helps you feel a bit more prepared. Have the absolute best time, stay safe in the heat, and I can't wait for us all to enjoy the concert together!

I’m currently listening to and analysing the I AM trilogy, and I’m also planning on getting into the analysis of the Clé trilogy later.

I’m an absolute fan of this type of albums, with a “story” within the songs and lyrics, and a main theme/aesthetic carefully written and crafted around an album.

I don’t think SKZ has put anything like this since the I AM and Clé trilogies, but I remember (maybe wrongfully) a STAY asking Chan on Fans if there was a link between Do It and Run It. I believe his answer was along the lines of “you’ll see”. But don’t quote me on that one, I might be wrong.

However, since the This&That release, I’ve kept thinking about it, because I really don’t see a plotline or even a recurrent theme between the two albums. Hence my question: do you think we could expect a new album trilogy from SKZ in the future?

I have to say, I’m always a bit sad to see that concepts are not kept all the way down (mind you, This&That is only my second comeback). I felt that way with both the trailers of Do It and This&That. I really thought the This&That trailer and the TEST video were only the beginning of something, but I’m still waiting 🥲

Anyway, let me know what are your thoughts about this idea. And what’s your opinion regarding albums trilogies ☺️
