Mao Abe’s 15th anniversary Zepp tour begins! The official report has arrived!


The Zepp tour commemorating singer-songwriter Mao Abe’s 15th anniversary started on October 4th at Zepp DiverCity. We will bring you the fastest official live report that has arrived.

Singer-songwriter Mao Abe started her nationwide Zepp tour “15th Anniversary Abe Mao Zepp Live Tour 2024” on October 4th.

Mao Abe celebrated her debut anniversary on January 21, 2024, entering her 15th anniversary year. In August, he released his new album “NOW” and from August to September, he will hold a solo tour “15th Anniversary Abe Mao Solo Live Tour 2024” touring movie theaters, small theaters, Noh theaters, and Kaburenjos nationwide. We continue to engage in activities appropriate to this. At the Zepp DiverCity (TOKYO) performance on the first day of the Zepp tour, she showed off a more evolved stage with a set list that included representative songs, hits, and new songs.

It has been a year and a half since Mao Abe Live Tour “Never Never Tour” was held in April 2023 in Tokyo and Osaka. Since this was a tour to commemorate their 15th anniversary, the setlist included a mix of previous singles and album lead songs, allowing you to experience their 15-year career. One of the best parts of this tour is being able to enjoy classic songs from the past with the vocals of “modern Mao Abe.”

Another big point is that you can enjoy the band’s latest album “NOW”. I think the songs on “NOW”, which have arrangements that incorporate current Western music and country tastes, and songs that depict the emotions of the moment, are without a doubt the core of this tour.

“Thanks to all of you, Mao Abe was able to celebrate her 15th anniversary since her debut this year! Thank you so much. I’ve been looking forward to being able to express my gratitude through these words.” After the MC, there was an arrangement of acoustic guitar and piano and vocals. There was also a handheld microphone performance, allowing the audience to enjoy a wide range of staging.

What is noteworthy is the splendor of the vocals. I would like to declare that “Mao Abe’s singing is at its best right now,” with its powerful high notes, rich mid-bass, and expressive power that vividly portrays emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy. The talented band members (on this day, Yoshida Yoshida/Dr, Miura Jungo/Ba, Mito Katsuyuki/Key, Wada Kenichiro/G, akkin/G, and Maeda Yugo/Manipulator) also supported her performance with their best performances. .

In the second half of the live performance, she spoke like this.

“Those of you who are here know that I am able to stand here and sing this song after going through so many transitional periods.I think it is a miracle.I have said it many times. Please let me know. Thank you for coming today.”

Mao Abe made her debut in 2009 at the age of 19 with the album “Furii”. Since then, they have continued to perform well, producing hit songs such as “I Want to Be Your Lover” and “Anyday,” but there have been many incidents along the way. Suspension of activities due to sore throat, life events such as marriage, childbirth, divorce, independence from agency. Mao Abe has used those experiences to grow herself and her music, and now, as she celebrates her 15th anniversary, she performs live in her best condition. The audience who attended the venue must have understood this fact.

In the second half of the live performance, they performed one song after another with positive power. The audience was enjoying the occasion to the fullest, waving their arms in the air, dancing, and singing in loud chorus. The strong bond they have with their fans is also an important treasure that was created over the course of 15 years.

At the end, Mao Abe expressed her gratitude, saying, “Today is truly an unforgettable day for me. It was such a wonderful live. Thank you very much!” From sad love songs to positive power songs. It was the best stage where you could fully experience the current Mao Abe while reliving her 15-year career.

The nationwide Zepp tour “15th Anniversary Abe Mao Zepp Live Tour 2024” will be held in Sapporo (10/10), Fukuoka (10/17), Nagoya (10/24), and Osaka (10/25). And on January 26, 2025 (Sunday), a one-man live “Abe Mao Live 2025 -15th ANNIVERSARY- at Tokyo Garden Theater” will be held at Tokyo Garden Theater. I would like you to experience her “now” as she celebrates her anniversary at the live venue.
