Contact Jasumo Now →- November 1, 2025 (Saturday) – Kanazawa, Hokkoku Shimbun Akabane Hall – a golden Hokuriku debut steeped in Edo-era elegance and autumnal tea-garden serenity.
- November 7, 2025 (Friday) – Niigata, Ryutopia Niigata – a snow-silent sanctuary where winter’s hush amplifies Aoba’s whisper-soft harp-guitar meditations.
- January 17, 2026 (Saturday) – Ishigaki, Ishigaki Civic Hall Main Hall – the Okinawa finale, a turquoise tidepool of sound under coral projections, Aoba’s first-ever Yaeyama performance.
Each ~90–120 minute solo recital is a harp-guitar odyssey through Kurofune, Windswept Girl, Luminescent Creatures deep cuts, and encores from Windswept Adan, accompanied by visual coral reefs and bioluminescent waves. Hailed on X as “Aoba’s sea of light”, “Japan’s ambient siren”, and “phosphorescent lullabies”, this tour transforms theaters into glowing underwater sanctuaries.
Tickets ¥6,800 (general unreserved) | ¥4,800 (U22) | ¥500 (elementary-JHS) | Yaeyama resident discounts (Ishigaki only) via Pia lottery from October 18, 2025, 10:00 JST. Secure via Jasumo—this phosphorescent pilgrimage is destined for instant sellouts.
Why Attend
Immerse yourself in Aoba’s luminescent lullabies—her harp-guitar haze and oceanic vocals weave Kurofune currents, Windswept Girl breezes, and Luminescent Creatures glows into a sonic tidepool. Experience three unique atmospheres: Kanazawa’s gold-leaf elegance, Niigata’s snow-country silence, and Ishigaki’s tropical tidepool serenity.
Enjoy unparalleled youth and local savings: ¥500 for elementary and junior high students, ¥4,800 for U22 (high school and under 22), and ¥5,800/¥3,800 for Yaeyama residents (Ishigaki only). The ¥6,800 general ticket delivers a ~2-hour sonic seeping of unmatched value. Pair each show with city-specific serenity: Kanazawa’s tea ceremonies, Niigata’s sake breweries, or Ishigaki’s awamori and starlit beaches.
