| Wednesday Campanella Heads Abroad: Asia & Europe Tour Announced After Emotional Tokyo Finale (Billboard JP) |
Wednesday Campanella wrapped up their first-ever hall tour with a dazzling, sold-out final show—and just when fans thought the night couldn’t get better, they dropped the big one: an international tour is coming.
Yep, you heard right. Wednesday Campanella (aka 水曜日のカンパネラ, or “Water Kan” for the fandom-inclined) will be taking their Summer Time Ghost tour abroad this summer, making stops across Asia and Europe.
Kicking off in June 2025, the group hits Seoul, Taipei and Bangkok, then crosses over to London, Milan and Paris in late July, before landing at Poland’s OFF Festival in Katowice in August.
It’s a major step for the group, and the first European tour since vocalist Utaha took the helm in 2021. With her surreal charisma and full-tilt stage energy, fans overseas are in for something wild.
Back to the finale in Asakusa—because it wasn’t just an announcement, it was a performance that felt like a love letter to everything Wednesday Campanella has become.
Held at the iconic Asakusa Public Hall (yep, the one just a stone’s throw from the Kaminarimon), the venue buzzed with fans from all walks of life—old, young, tourists, Tokyo locals, and the eccentrically dressed faithful.
The show began with producer Kenmochi Hidefumi emerging solo to a wall of bass, setting the scene. But the real jaw-drop moment? Utaha’s sudden surprise appearance on the second-floor balcony, belting out “Tinker Bell” while weaving through the crowd. Iconic behaviour.

The setlist was a kaleidoscope of sound and visuals. From the dance-heavy “Buckingham” to nostalgic staples like “Diablo” and “Shōtoku Taishi”, Utaha had the crowd in sync—clapping, dancing, and even mimicking bathing motions to match the lyrics.
“Charlotte” brought the announcement of the Asia-Europe tour, with Utaha joking, “I’m such an indoor person though,” as if she hadn’t just commanded a stage for two hours.
Fans were also treated to the theatre of it all: red and blue lights painting the hall for “Kongōrikishi-zō”, a bed-bound wolf and eight dancing Red Riding Hoods for “Akazukin”, and a noodle-dance extravaganza during “Akaneko”, complete with dancers brandishing ramen strainers and one colossal tebo (yes, the ladle thing).
Kenmochi kept spirits high with a whimsical merch intro, before the vibe turned dreamy for “Negai wa Gyōsan” with a literal dragon parade marching through the crowd.
No really, dancers with hand-held dragons swirled between rows of fans.
“Shiten'nō” came with crowd chants. “Issunbōshi” saw Utaha form a five-member idol unit on stage with audience volunteers.

“Dōkuten P” lit up with bouncing orbs of colour. And when she asked, “How’s Utaha doing?” the hall answered in unison: “KAWAII!”
The energy stayed electric all the way to the end. New anime track “Summertime Ghost” was performed for only the second time live, followed by a reggae-laced “Mermaid” with massive fish flags and a swirling towel frenzy.
Then came “Edison”, the viral house groove that made everyone move. And finally, “Maneki Neko” closed the show with a huge beckoning cat rolling out on stage as the crowd did their cutest 招き poses to summon all the good vibes.
There were no encores—just pure, packed performance from start to finish. And before the lights came up, Utaha made it clear: “Thank you for coming on tour. I love you all. See you again soon!”
Now with Europe and Asia on the map, Wednesday Campanella is going global. And whether you're in Bangkok or Brixton, you might just find yourself singing about ramen or historical emperors in the middle of a club night soon.
Get your passports ready. Water Kan is coming.
