Japanese idol groups announce major tours and fashion event appearances

Japanese idol groups are preparing for major upcoming appearances and tours. Members of Sakurazaka46 and Hinatazaka46 have been announced to perform at the 43rd Mynavi Tokyo Girls Collection 2026 Autumn/Winter, held at Yokohama Arena on September 19. The event will feature runway debuts for several members, including Konomi Asai, Hituki Yamashita, and Sakura Matsuo.

Following the conclusion of the 'Nogizaka46 Midsummer National Tour 2026' at Meiji Jingu Stadium, the group's 6th generation members are set to embark on their first dedicated national tour. Starting in October, the 11-member unit will perform 10 shows across five cities: Kanagawa, Hokkaido, Osaka, Aichi, and Fukuoka. The tour follows a period of individual growth and member returns, such as the return of Mirion Masuda to the stage.
