Starting at Tokyo’s iconic Saitama Super Arena next April, Ado will light up over 30 cities worldwide before closing out in Honolulu, Hawaii next August.

I aim to show my growth since the ‘Wish’ tour and deliver my best performances yet.”

Full Quote by Ado

“Hibana” – I originally had an idea of naming this tour “Spark.”

To start a revolution can also be expressed as “ Spark a Revolution,” and the word “spark” is also often used in contexts like “light a fire,” “start a fire” and “provoke something.”

If my 1st world tour was my “Wish,” my next step is to light a fire in the world as someone from Japan.  Hot as a spark of fire, even if it’s small, I want to be the inspiration to start something big. “Hibana” is a Japanese word for “Spark.” I want to bring my Japanese heritage on the road with me so I named this tour “Hibana,” in Japanese.

I hope to show everyone around the world my growth since the “Wish” tour and bring you the best live performance.
