Yoshitaka Minami, who has been leading Japan’s city pop for half a century, will undertake a spring Billboard Live tour. Since his debut in 1973, his urban-sounding music has long influenced the music scene. This time, he will take the stage with his latest album Ai shita kazu dake, to be released in May 2025, which includes new songs and self-covers. He will be joined on stage by the familiar top-tier musicians who color the album, delivering a show reminiscent of a recording session. Look forward to an adult urban-pop stage delivered with a set that blends old and new, and a performance that grows more mature year by year.

We apologize for the inconvenience and concern caused by the cancellation of the Billboard Live Tokyo performance “Yoshitaka Minami ‘Ai shita kazu dake’ Album Release Memorial LIVE” on May 14, 2025 due to the artist’s ill health.
On that day, he experienced voice problems and sought medical care; he was diagnosed with bronchitis and pharyngitis, and rest was deemed necessary, so the show was canceled. His condition is now recovering.
As for Osaka on Friday, May 23, it will be held as scheduled.
The artist also commented: “I want to make this a perfect live—please look forward to it.”
