Travis Japan flight delayed by thunderstorms ahead of Taipei Dome performance

Fans of the Japanese boy band Travis Japan experienced a lengthy wait at Taipei's Songshan Airport due to a severe thunderstorm that caused significant flight delays. The group was scheduled to arrive for their first performance at the Taipei Dome on August 22, where they were also set to throw the ceremonial first pitch for a baseball team's theme day event.

The band's flight, CI221, was delayed by over an hour because of the inclement weather. While waiting, fans were unexpectedly greeted by Fujiwara Joichiro from the group Naniwa Danshi, sparking discussions among netizens about whether he was in Taiwan to watch baseball.

Upon their arrival, the seven members of Travis Japan, Miyachika Kaito, Shimegake Ryuya, Nakamura Kaito, Matsukura Kaito, Yoshizawa Shizuya, Kawashima Noeru, and Matsuda Genta, were met with enthusiastic cheers. The members waved to their fans and posed for photos, acknowledging the fans who braved the rain to welcome them.

Travis Japan is known for frequent visits to Taiwan. Despite previously stating no plans to visit in the first half of the year, they accepted an invitation from the Uni-Lions baseball team to participate in their "J-LIONS 'Non-Ordinary' Theme Day." The event is expected to draw a large crowd of fans from both Taiwan and Japan.
