BoA wraps Osaka leg of 'BoA the Live 2026,' heads to sold-out Yokohama final
BoA wraps her Japan tour in Yokohama on Sept. 20, with Fukuoka and Osaka already sold out — marking her 25th year since debuting there.
Osaka done, Yokohama next
BoA (권보아, 39) posted in Japanese on the 20th after wrapping the Osaka leg of BoA the Live 2026: "Osaka was exciting, thank you. Today is the final Yokohama BoA the Live 2026."
The three-city Japan tour opened September 12 at Fukuoka International Conference Center, moved to Osaka Zepp Namba, and closes at Pacifico Yokohama on the 20th. Both the Fukuoka and Osaka shows sold out.
A year that stacks anniversaries
2026 marks BoA's 25th anniversary of her Japan debut and the 20th anniversary of the BoA the Live concert series. This run carries extra weight.
She debuted in 2000 with her first studio album ID;Peace B. Her discography includes No.1 (2002), Atlantis Princess (2003), My Name (2004), Hurricane Venus (2010), Only One (2012 — title track and choreography self-written), Kiss My Lips (8th album, 2015), WOMAN (2018), BETTER (10th album, 2020), Forgive Me (3rd mini-album, 2022), and Crazier (11th album, 2025).
Beyond the stage
BoA has kept busy off the concert circuit. She served as a judge on SBS K-Pop Star and K-Pop Star Season 2, hosted Mnet Produce 101 Season 2, and won the original-artist round on JTBC Hidden Singer 4's BoA special. In 2024, she was involved in producing every track on NCT WISH's debut album WISH. (Twenty-six years in and she's still the one setting the bar.)
