Singer-songwriter YUI will be holding her first overseas concert in Hong Kong on June 26th! YUI will host her first concert outside of Japan at the AsiaWorld Arena, the largest indoor seated venue in Hong Kong; it’s planned to pull in a 7,000-member audience.


YUI’s enjoyed a high popularity in Hong Kong because of her 2006 movie, “Taiyo no Uta“; her 2007 album, “CAN’T BUY MY LOVE” landed at the #1 spot on the local HMV ‘Japan・ Korean chart’, and then remained in the Top 3 for 12 consecutive weeks.

YUI was offered to hold a live concert in Hong Kong for awhile, and it seems that local fans will finally get to see their favorite J-pop artist perform on their home turf. YUI plans to sell original charity goods at the concert, the profits from which will be donated towards disaster relief.
