On Saturday, it was announced that Southern All Stars member Keisuke Kuwata will be holding a solo tour at the end of this year.
Earlier this year, Kuwata resumed working as a solo artist. He originally had no plans for live concerts, instead devoting himself wholly to recording his new album. But with all of the musical events occurring during the summer, his fans were disappointed that he wasn't doing any performances. When his record company and fan club were flooded by requests from fans, a tour schedule was quickly put together.
14 shows have been scheduled in 6 cities, starting at Marine Messe Fukuoka on November 21 and ending at the Yokohama Arena on New Year's Eve. Meanwhile, Kuwata has arranged for appearances on TV music shows such as "Bokura no Ongaku" and "Music Station."
