BoA concludes anniversary tour and announces new Japanese album

Singer BoA has concluded her “BoA the LIVE 2026” tour with a final performance at Pacifico Yokohama, marking a double anniversary: 25 years since her Japanese debut and 20 years of her premium live series. The tour, which included stops in Fukuoka and Osaka, focused on live vocals and band accompaniment rather than elaborate stage production.

During the Yokohama concert, BoA announced the release of her first original Japanese mini-album in eight years, titled “Hohaba” (Step). The self-produced work, which features six tracks including songs she wrote and composed, is scheduled for digital release on November 4, 2026, followed by a physical CD release on November 25, 2026.
