Overview

Hiroshi Itsuki, the legendary enka singer who debuted in 1965 with “Yokohama Tasogare,” celebrates 60 years in music with the Hiroshi Itsuki Special Concert 2025. Known for timeless hits like “Yoake no Blues,” “Izakaya,” and “Soshite Meguriai,” Itsuki’s ~2-hour performances feature passionate renditions of his classics, blending emotional ballads and enka standards that have sold over 20 million records. Praised on X for his “timeless voice” and “enduring charm at 77,” these concerts showcase his influence on Japanese music, following sold-out tours like his 2024 nationwide shows and 50th anniversary Budokan event. The two-date special takes place at Gifushin Forum Large Hall (~2,000 capacity) and Mie Prefectural Cultural Center Large Hall (~1,500 capacity), honoring his six-decade legacy with intimate, heartfelt sets for fans of traditional Japanese song.

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 high demand for Hiroshi Itsuki Special Concert 2025, with critically low availability (e.g., 20 tickets for Gifu), availability is not guaranteed. Refunds will only be issued if entries cannot be secured through official channels or in case of cancellation. We strongly recommend purchasing tickets by August 15, 2025, at official prices (~¥8,800) or monitoring official resale (~5 days prior to each show) to avoid inflated reseller prices (e.g., ¥12,000 for Gifu).
