Timely!!, Anri’s landmark 1983 album, features some of her most beloved hits, including “I Can’t Stop the Loneliness,” “Remember Summer Days,” and “Shyness Boy.” Amid the global resurgence of Japanese City Pop, Anri has earned the title of the “Queen of City Pop.”

Tickets are available starting tomorrow (Thurs, Oct 30th) at 10 am local time, ahead of the general sale on Friday, October 31st.

VIP packages and experiences vary but include premium tickets, an autographed tour poster, an exclusive VIP gift item, pre-show merch shopping and more. VIP package contents vary based on the offer selected.

Japanese City Pop has seen a global resurgence in recent years, resonating with a new generation of fans drawn to its nostalgic yet timeless sound. Following the sold-out success of Masayoshi Takanaka’s performances in Los Angeles, Live Nation continues to bring genre-defining Japanese artists to audiences around the world.

City Pop Waves also includes Taeko Onuki’s first-ever concert outside of Japan, taking place at LA’s The Wiltern on February 7, 2026.
