Yoshitaka Minami, who has been leading Japan’s city pop for half a century, will launch a spring Billboard Live tour. Since his debut in 1973, his urbane sound has long influenced the music scene. This time, he takes the stage with his latest album Ai Shita Kazu Dake (to be released May 2025), featuring new songs and self-covers. For the show, he is joined by a band lineup of the familiar masters who color the album, delivering a performance that feels like a recording session. Look forward to a mature urban-pop stage for adults, presented with a set that blends old and new material and a performance that grows more refined with each passing year.

【Information】
This performance will proceed as planned.
For details, please see the official notice from Minami Yoshitaka below.

We are sorry for any inconvenience or 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 the day, he experienced voice issues, consulted a medical facility, and was diagnosed with bronchitis and pharyngitis, requiring rest, so the event was canceled. His condition has since improved.
The Yokohama performance on Sunday, June 1, will go ahead as scheduled.
The artist also commented, "I want to ensure a flawless show, so please look forward to it."
