CNBLUE in Tokyo

CNBLUE is a South Korean pop-rock band formed in 2009. The group made its Korean debut with the EP Bluetory and its lead single “I’m a Loner”; later releases include First Step, Re:Blue and Can’t Stop, as well as the songs “Intuition” and “Love.” The trio consists of Jung Yong-hwa, Kang Min-hyuk and Lee Jung-shin. The 2013 Blue Moon World Tour took CNBLUE through Asia, Australia and the Americas, including concerts in Sydney, New York and Pasadena. The band followed it with the Come Together tour in 2015 and the Between Us tour in 2017, then returned to concert touring under the CNBLUENTITY title in 2023. Their shows use the group’s core setup: Jung Yong-hwa on guitar and lead vocals, Lee Jung-shin on bass and Kang Min-hyuk on drums. Japan has long been a central live market for the group, including concerts at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo and Osaka-jō Hall. CNBLUE has also returned to Seoul for major standalone concerts.
