Ichiko Aoba has revealed the dates for the Japan leg of her “Luminescent Creatures World Tour.” The domestic run will include nine solo performances across the country, with stops in cities such as Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Aichi, and Ehime.
The world tour originally kicked off in February 2025 in Hong Kong and has since taken Aoba to over 40 cities throughout Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania.
For the Japan shows, Aoba will return to her signature voice-and-guitar format, offering intimate performances that span from September 17 (Wednesday) in Fukuoka to November 7 (Friday) in Niigata.
Advance ticket reservations is now open from Friday, July 4 at 6:00 PM until Sunday, July 13 at 11:59 PM. In addition to standard ticketing, options will be available for overseas fans, along with discounted student tickets for elementary, junior high, high school, university, and vocational school students.
To coincide with the announcement, a live performance video of the song “SONAR” — a voice-and-guitar track from Aoba’s “Luminescent Creatures” World Premiere concert held in October 2024 — will premiere on YouTube at 9:00 PM on July 4.
