Japanese music's global moment has a new headline act. Kenshi Yonezu has announced GHOST, the biggest world tour of his career: 11 cities across three continents, built around the audiences his previous international run established and the new ones waiting beyond it.
The routing returns Yonezu to Los Angeles, the New York metropolitan area, London and Paris — the anchor markets of his last world tour — while expanding into five cities where he has never performed before, a measure of how far Japanese-language pop now travels.
Asia carries the tour's biggest rooms: Taipei is set for two consecutive dome performances, and Seoul will receive three shows, making both stops pillars of the itinerary rather than warm-ups for the West.
Yonezu's reach has been built as much on screen as on stage — his songs travel with anime and film audiences worldwide — and GHOST is designed as a visual production on the scale of that catalogue, pairing his songwriting with the original visual concepts that distinguish his live shows.
For the live industry, the tour is another data point in a structural shift: arena-scale demand for Japanese artists in North America and Europe is no longer a novelty story. Ticket details are available through the tour's official sellers.
