The Super Tour of Misia: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is a concert tour by Japanese singer Misia, held to celebrate her 20th anniversary as a recording artist.[1] The tour, comprising four arena dates, began on April 7, 2018 at the Osaka-jō Hall in Osaka, and concluded three weeks later on April 28, 2018, at Yokohama Arena in Yokohama.[2]

Background

On September 26, 2017, Misia announced four arena shows scheduled for 2018, to commemorate her 20th anniversary as a musical act.[1] A website with details concerning the concert tour was opened on October 10, 2017.[3] On November 1, 2017, the premium "luxury" seats available to Club MSA members were announced as sold out.[4] The first pressing of the DVD and Blu-ray of the Misia Summer Soul Jazz 2017 tour included a pre-sale access code which allowed fans to purchase tickets in advance of the public on-sale scheduled to start on February 10, 2018.[5] On March 9, 2018, Misia announced a partnership with au to offer limited tickets and merchandise to au smartpass subscribers.[6][7] On March 12, 2018, it was announced that tickets for the two Osaka-jō Hall shows as well as the April 28, 2018 Yokohama Arena concert had sold out.[8]

On March 8, 2018, an embargo on tour details was lifted and the first round of tour members were announced; Yoshie of Be Bop Crew, who last toured with Misia nine years ago on The Tour of Misia Discotheque Asia, will join as choreographer and dancer.[9] The entire cast of dancers and band members were announced on April 6, 2018.[10][11]

On April 1, 2018, it was announced that The Super Tour of Misia finale will be broadcast on Wowow on July 7, 2018, in conjunction with a documentary chronicling Misia's most recent passage in Nairobi, Kenya, titled Nonfiction W, and a BBC Earth program, narrated by Misia, on white rhinoceros conservation, titled BBC Earth 2018 Dangerous Life: The Last White Rhino, as part of a three-show bundle.[12]
