The tour starts on December 14 on the second weekend of Fuji TV’s FNS Music Festival, broadcasting on the network at 6:30 PM. Uta will then head to Jump Festa on December 18 before more stops at currently unannounced places on December 19, 23 and 28. The tour will be capped off with Uta’s previously announced appearance at NHK’s yearly New Year’s singing competition Kohaku Uta Gassen on December 31.
Those going to see One Piece Film Red in theaters in Japan will also be able to celebrate the tour. From November 26, 300,000 Uta tour wristbands will be given out as a gift until stocks last while from December 10, 300,000 Uta tour balloons will be presented to theatergoers.
One Piece Film Red opened in Japanese theaters on August 6 and has since made 18.40 billion yen (US$131.67 million) at the box office. Crunchyroll released the film in English-speaking countries this November, starting with Australia and New Zealand on November 3 then followed by the United States and Canada on November 4. Crunchyroll describes the seafaring musical adventure as such:
Uta—the most beloved singer in the world whose voice has been described as “otherworldly”—is renowned for concealing her own identity when performing. Now, for the first time ever, she will reveal herself to the world at a live concert.
With the Navy watching closely, the venue fills with Uta’s fans—including excited pirates and the Straw Hats led by Luffy, who simply came to enjoy her sonorous performance—all eagerly awaiting the voice that the whole world has been waiting for to resound. The story begins with the shocking revelation that she is the enigmatic Shanks’ daughter.
The One Piece TV anime is also still going strong, with over 1,000 episodes of the series streaming right here on Crunchyroll and new episodes coming out each week as they air in Japan.
