Background & History

Billie Eilish, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter from Los Angeles, returns to Japan for the first time in three years with her HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR on August 16–17, 2025, at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. Following the release of her third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft (2024), these shows mark her only headline performances in Japan, featuring a 360° stage setup for an immersive experience. Known for hits like “Bad Guy,” “Lunch,” and “Birds of a Feather,” Eilish’s tour emphasizes sustainability through her partnership with REVERB, focusing on reducing emissions, eliminating single-use plastics, and promoting plant-based food options. The 37,000-capacity Saitama Super Arena, a premier venue 30 minutes from Tokyo, hosts these high-production concerts, offering fans a chance to explore nearby attractions like Omiya’s Railway Museum or Hikawa Shrine while enjoying a global pop phenomenon.

Disclaimer

Jasumo offers a facilitation service for foreign tourists and non-Japanese residents in Japan, helping them access and apply for tickets to various events, including but not limited to sports, festivals, and cultural activities. We are not a reseller of tickets, nor do we sell tickets directly. Our role is to support international customers by guiding them through the official ticket booking process, ensuring they can secure their tickets through recognized platforms and authorized providers.

As a business based in Japan with a bilingual staff and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by non-Japanese visitors, we address common bottlenecks such as:

• Language Barriers: Navigating Japan’s primarily Japanese-language ticketing systems can be challenging for foreign tourists. Jasumo provides bilingual support to bridge this gap and ensure a smooth booking experience.
• Access to Japanese-Only Platforms: Many events in Japan require local knowledge to navigate and access, and often these platforms do not offer international payment options or are difficult to use for non-Japanese speakers. We facilitate the booking process by providing guidance and helping with international payment methods where applicable.
• Limited Availability & Complex Registration: Events in Japan often have limited capacity, and understanding the timing and process for securing tickets can be confusing for international visitors. Jasumo helps you manage deadlines and requirements, giving you the best chance of securing your entry.

Due to extremely high demand (37,000 capacity, limited seats for August 16, nearly sold out for August 17), entries may close early. While we facilitate the registration process, availability cannot be guaranteed. Refunds will only be issued if entries cannot be secured through official channels. We strongly recommend registering early to maximize your chances of attending.
