Devastating news for fans of Fujii Kaze, as the Japanese singer-songwriter has cancelled the Hong Kong leg of his ‘Prema World Tour’ without warning. Our city was initially on his schedule when the tour was announced last December, but on Tuesday, April 21, the official website was updated with a line in small print stating “Show in Hong Kong has been cancelled”.
Fujii’s Hong Kong date has since been removed from the world tour schedule, with a January 9, 2027, slot added for Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul instead. No reason has been given for the Hong Kong cancellation, but the 28-year-old talent is the latest in a series of Japanese artists who have called off their shows in the city, such as Ayumi Hamasaki, Koda Kumi, and most recently, One OK Rock. We can only hope that other upcoming Japanese acts such as LiSA, Vaundy, and Yoasobi will take pity on their Hong Kong fans and keep their dates!
The last time Fujii was in Hong Kong was for his ‘Best of Fujii Kaze’ tour back in late 2024, which very quickly sold out. With a neo-soul and jazzy pop sound and self-composed songs that has earned him a huge fanbase in Asia, he released his third studio album Prema entirely in English, and went on to play in this year’s Coachella festival.
In case you’re adamant on catching him live during the Prema run, Fujii will be doing a short six-date ‘Pre:Prema Tour’ in Sapporo, Hiroshima, and Fukui from mid-July to early August, before hitting up Kaohsiung in October; Fukuoka in November; Osaka, Tokyo, and Bangkok in December; and Seoul next January.
