Throwback Thursday: Mariah Carey – “All I Want for Christmas Is You” (Live at Tokyo Dome)

Throwback Thursday: Mariah Carey – “All I Want for Christmas Is You” (Live at Tokyo Dome)

It’s the night before Christmas and also a Thursday, so what better TBT selection could there be than Mariah Carey’s 19th No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100? Right. There is none.

The first stop of the Daydream World Tour was at the Tokyo Dome in March of 1996, and while it may seem odd to perform a Christmas song in March, here’s some context: “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is Mariah’s biggest hit in Japan. And besides, the song is good on any day.

The Tokyo Dome stop of that tour is widely considered to be Mariah’s best concert, and the singer herself seems to agree, evidenced by her releasing the entire concert as part of The Rarities, which dropped earlier this year.

If you’re watching this performance for the first time, thank me later. Merry Christmas!
