I didn't quite get your last sentence, but Tokyo Dome's max capacity is 55,000.

And I never knew the roof could open. From the pictures, it looks like the roof is permanently shut. They only say it's an 'air-supported roof'. Is it even possible for it to be retractable?

Plus, not all of the places are called "Arenas" -- Yoyogi for example is a stadium, yet, she didn't held "Stadium Tour" performance in it, she helds "Arena Tour" performances there...
And I think Dome Tour was 6 domes... I wonder why they didn't do another dome tour. Could it be she so doesn't want to bring back the memories from that time (ear loss danger)?...
BTW, the Tokyo Dome is freakin' biiig! I was stunned when I first saw Dome Tour CMs. I couldn't believe how big this thing is....

The 2001 Dome Tour had 8 shows, 4 domes. Now there are 5 big domes in Japan.
I think there is a relation between the ARENA tour and where they hold the venues. I think they imply the meaning of ARENA with the capacity of the venue. i.e. Arena under 20,000; Stadium/Open Air min. 25,000 and outdoors and Domes min. 40,000 indoors. (Something like that)
And yeah, I think she doesn't do large indoor venues cos of the ear/the echo of the venue. She can sell out like 300,000 tickets. If she went back to the Dome Tour she wouldn't have to be touring for like 4 months. She could do like 10 shows and it would be done.

BTW, do other J-pop artists use the name "Arena Tour"?...

I know BoA (Arena) and Mr. Children (Dome) do. But I've seen others like Mika just do "XXXXX Tour 2005".
