The Straits Times|October 26, 2024
Following announced gigs in Singapore by Japanese singer-songwriter Kaze Fujii on Oct 26, Japanese diva Mika Nakashima's set at a music festival in December and hit J-pop duo Yoasobi's two-night show in February, J-pop fans have one more reason to rejoice.

Popular Japanese singer Ado will be bringing her Hibana world tour to the Singapore Indoor Stadium on May 21, 2025, marking her first show here.

Set to be one of the biggest world tours organised by a Japanese artiste, it kicks off at Japan's Saitama Super Arena in April 2025 and will travel to more than 30 cities worldwide before finishing in Honolulu, Hawaii, in August 2025.

The tour includes stops in Bangkok, Seoul, Taipei, London, Berlin, Paris, Los Angeles and Chicago. Her previous world tour Wish, held from February to April 2024, travelled to cities like Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur, but skipped Singapore.
