Vicke Blanka's largest tour ever, 'Japan leg' kicks off after 'North America leg'! Thrills audience with a series of 'new challenges'
Vicke Blanka's "VK Blanka North America & Japan Tour 2025" Tokyo performance was held on June 14 at Showa Women's University Hitomi Memorial Hall in Tokyo.


"VK Blanka North America & Japan Tour 2025" is Vicke's largest tour in his career, spanning North America and various locations in Japan. The "North America leg" took place in May, starting with a performance in Montreal and continuing to venues in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Approximately half a month after this North American tour, a large crowd of fans gathered with great anticipation for the live show on this day, marking the opening of the "Japan leg."

As the live show began with a grand SE, Vicke loudly declared, "It's been a while! The Tokyo show is starting!" His energetic vocals resonated, instantly guiding the audience into a vibrant live atmosphere. During the first MC segment, Vicke mentioned, "I've been preparing, thinking about whether I could do something fun and wanting to take on many new challenges." True to his words, on this tour, he performed with a headset microphone, something not usually seen, surprising and exciting fans right from the start.

One of the highlights packed with such "new challenges" was his bass playing during "Fabulous." While saying, "This is the first time I'm playing it. Bass on stage (for the tour)," he held his beloved instrument, and the contrast between his groovy, technical playing and his beautiful falsetto voice dancing above it was striking, drawing passionate and generous applause from the audience.

In preparation for the tour, Vicke had released a "Preparation Playlist" on Spotify, and a variety of his representative songs selected for this playlist were performed one after another. Vicke's soaring vocals brought a bright exhilaration during "Soten no Vampire," and the audience responded with perfect call-and-response to his playful vocal work in "Ca Va?." During "Urara," the band members unleashed a lively ensemble with their outstanding skills, while Vicke thrilled the audience with vocal work that masterfully handled the flowing melodies. He immersed himself in playing and singing at the keyboard, and at times, sat on a bench, letting his voice resonate leisurely. Effectively using the three-dimensionally constructed stage set, his dramatic performances, which highlighted the contour of each song, clearly demonstrated to the viewers the rich and whimsical entertainment quality inherent in Vicke Blanka's music.

Additionally, there was a moment during the live show where he performed his new song "×L×C×A×," which he had just released on June 4. Vicke delivered a high-energy performance, singing the song while striking the toms, bringing a frenzy to the hall with his powerful, captivating force.

During an MC segment, Vicke touched upon the fact that half of 2025 had passed, addressing the fans, "I think the remaining half will also be full of fun things. I hope you'll continue to join me, and we can get excited together." The tour performances will continue, taking place in six cities until the final at Festival Hall in Osaka on Aug. 30.
