LiSA performs first Italian concert at Unipol Forum

Japanese J-Pop artist LiSA performed her first concert in Italy on September 15 at the Unipol Forum in Assago, Milan. The event was a single date within her ‘LiVE is Smile Always～15～ Europe & UK Tour 2026’, which celebrates the 15th anniversary of her debut.

LiSA has gained international recognition through her work on global anime phenomena, including soundtracks for ‘Demon Slayer’, ‘Sword Art Online’, ‘My Hero Academia’, and ‘Solo Leveling’. Her recent studio album, ‘LACE UP’, features tracks such as ‘REALiZE’ from the ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ soundtrack and ‘ReawakeR’, a collaboration with Felix of Stray Kids.

The concert highlighted the growing popularity of J-Pop in Italy, driven by streaming platforms and social media that have helped overcome language barriers for younger generations.
