Tickets for the first Korean concert by the top Japanese band Arashi were sold out in just an hour, as some 150,000 people rushed to book tickets online.

Arashi will give concerts in Korea November 11 and 12 at the Olympic Park in Seoul under the theme “You Are My Seoul Soul.”

A person from the firm that is organizing the concert said 12,000 tickets to the concert were sold out by October 18 on the online ticketing Web site Interpark, which is quite unprecedented for J-pop artists and attests to the band’s popularity in Korea.

Arashi will give four concerts for its Korean fans.
