&TEAM at Belluna Dome, Day 2: and then it rained — the venue's true test
If Day 1 showed Belluna Dome at its best, Day 2 showed why Tokyo fans brace for it. The rain came, and an open-sided stadium becomes a very different day out. Here's the honest version — the wet queues, the soggy line for the fan-club booth, and why I'd still do it again.
Belluna Dome has a roof but open sides, so on a wet day the outdoor queues get soaked and rain reaches the edges of the bowl. It's nothing Japanese fans aren't ready for: the night before, we stock up at a 100-yen shop (Daiso, Seria) — poncho, over-clothes rain trousers, a bag cover — plus a sleeve for photocards and paper tickets. Once the show starts, the atmosphere carries it — for &TEAM's first solo dome, still absolutely worth the wet.
When the rain arrives
The thing about a roof with no walls is that it's wonderful right up until the weather turns. On Day 2 it rained, and everything that happens outside the seating bowl — arriving, queuing, the merch and fan-club booths — happens in it. Umbrellas went up, ponchos came out, and the ground turned to that familiar concert-day slick. The bowl itself gives you some cover depending on your seat, but make no mistake: on a wet day, Belluna asks something of you before you ever hear a note — and everyone around you came prepared, because in Japan we're well used to this.
The fan-club booth, in the rain
A lot of the pre-show ritual is outdoors here: the LUNÈ fan-club membership booth, the digital-membership help desk, the merch lines. On a dry day it's a pleasant milling-about; on a wet one it's a patient, umbrella-to-umbrella shuffle along the 順路 (route) barriers. If joining or renewing a membership on-site is part of your plan — and for a lot of overseas fans, working out the membership is the whole battle — give yourself extra time and keep your phone and paperwork dry. (If the membership-and-tickets maze is new to you, I broke it down in a separate guide.)
Was it still worth it?
Completely. The rain makes the getting-in harder and the photos greyer, but it doesn't touch the part you came for. Once the lights dropped, the same milestone energy from the night before was right there — a group playing their first solo dome, a room that didn't care about the weather. Day 1 was the postcard; Day 2 was the one I'll actually tell stories about. And &TEAM shows make it easy either way — the members sing, the crowd dances, everyone joins in, so fans from any country slot right in. Both nights were worth the trip out to Tokorozawa.
Japan gets typhoons, and rain is part of concert life across Asia, so locals just prepare. A day or two ahead, hit a 100-yen shop (Daiso, Seria): a poncho, rain trousers you pull on over your clothes, and a bag cover — cheap, light, surprisingly tough, and reusable for the next trip. Add waterproof shoes and a hard sleeve for photocards and tickets, and keep the plushies dry. Honestly, a rainy show is easier than a heatwave or a midwinter one — those are the ones that really test you.

Common questions
Does it rain inside Belluna Dome?
It has a roof but open sides, so on a wet day rain and wind reach the edges, and the outdoor queues get soaked. Your actual seat may stay dry depending on location, but plan for rain when arriving and lining up.
What should I bring if it might rain?
Grab a poncho, over-clothes rain trousers and a bag cover from a 100-yen shop (Daiso, Seria) the day before — cheap, light and tough — plus waterproof shoes and a sleeve for photocards and tickets. A rainy show is honestly easier than a heatwave or midwinter one.
Is a rainy dome show still worth it?
Yes — the rain makes arrival and queuing harder, but once the show starts the atmosphere carries it. For &TEAM's first solo dome, it was still absolutely worth the wet.
