Background

edit

On December 10, 2015, Misia announced the first dates of the tour.[2] The first three shows, which constitute the first leg of the tour, would take place at Kawaguchiko Stellar Theater on consecutive days starting May 3, 2016.[2] The shows were held to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Rhythmedia, the production and management company representing Misia. Ticket sales opened to the general public on February 27, 2016.[3] The first pressing of the live compilation album Misia Hoshizora no Live Song Book: History of Hoshizora Live included a pre-sale access code which allowed fans to participate in a raffle to win tickets to the shows.[4]

The second round of tour dates was announced on March 1, 2016,[5] for which tickets went on sale May 28, 2016.[6] Band members for the tour were announced on April 25, 2016.[7] The following day, DJ Emma, Muro and DJ Nori were announced as special guests for the opening ceremony of each date, respectively.[8]
