The band CNBLUE (Jung Yonghwa, Kang Minhyuk, Lee Jungshin) successfully completed its tour in Japan.
CNBLUE held its autumn tour “2025 CNBLUE AUTUMN LIVE IN JAPAN ~ SHINTOUYA ~” on the 15th and 16th at Kobe World Memorial Hall, then on the 23rd and 24th at Chiba Makuhari Event Hall.
The first stage of this tour opened with the title track “Shintouya” (신토우야) from their 15ᵉ Japanese single, released on the 5th and ranked at the top of the Oricon and Billboard Japan charts. From the first song, the brilliant vocals and sophisticated sound of the band combined perfectly live, eliciting an enthusiastic reaction from the audience.
The varied setlist also included tracks from their new single such as “Let it shine” (렛 잇 샤인), “Slow motion” (슬로우 모션), “This is” (디스 이즈), “Puzzle” (퍼즐), “Cinderella” (신데렐라), “Between us” (헷갈리게), “Stay sober” (스테이 소버), and “Realize” (리얼라이즈), showcasing the wide musical spectrum unique to CNBLUE.
In particular, the encore track “A sleepless night” (그리운건 그대일까 그때일까) made a strong impression by naturally combining Korean and Japanese. This moment fulfilled the promise made at a previous concert in Japan: “One day, we will let you listen to a Japanese version”, making the performance particularly meaningful for the fans.
Thanks to the success of the single “Shintouya” and this tour, CNBLUE confirms their popularity on site and will open their new world tour “2026 CNBLUE LIVE WORLD TOUR ‘3LOGY’” on January 17 and 18 at Seoul Ticketlink Live Arena (formerly Handball Stadium of Olympic Park). Afterwards, the band will perform worldwide in Macao, Taipei, Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Yokohama, Aichi, Kobe, Hong Kong, and Kaohsiung, continuing its international journey.
