2004 Arashi! Iza, Now Tour!! (2004 嵐！ いざッ、Now Tour!!) is the video release of Japanese boyband Arashi which documented their 2004 summer concert tour in conjunction with the promotion and release of their album, Iza, Now!. The DVD was released on January 1, 2005.
The DVD will be re-released by avex Taiwan on 14th Aug 2009 .
The DVD was shot at their concert at Yokohama Arena on August 3, 2004. Backstage footages of Arashi arrival and departure from every venue on the tour were also included in Disc 2. The MC, a customary short talk during the intermission, was also included which exhibit Arashi natural sense of humor and camaraderie.
Typical of any Johnny's concerts, Iza Now Tour included extravagant sets and stage design. The main stage consist of a large half globe structure that opens up for Arashi's entrance to new songs or different sets while huge LED screens displayed close-ups of the performances or graphics as added effect. The small adjoining walkway were constructed of inflatable material that made them bounce while walking on it. There was also a concave walkway that was at eye level with a part of the arena area audience. Raising platforms and cranes were also used so that the Arashi members will be able to get closer to the audience on the second floor.
Variety of themes can be observed for different parts of the set list. The first set of performance (Overture, Jam, Gori Muchuu, Pikanchi and Pikanchi Double) were presented in futuristic themed wardrobes in addition with use of pyrotechnics and lights. The setting changed dramatically to an African safari like set for Horizon, accompanied by an army of camouflaged Johnny's Junior (back up dancers). The songs for this set (Horizon, Dangan-Liner and Nemuranai Karada) were remixed in accordance with the African theme.
