Kenshi Yonezu will hold his nationwide arena tour "Kenshi Yonezu 2026 TOUR / GHOST" from November 2026. Spanning six cities and 14 shows, the run visits large arenas including K-Arena Yokohama and Big Hat in Nagano. His 15th single "Plazma / BOW AND ARROW" has also been released, with the earliest priority ticket window opening via serial numbers included as a first-press bonus.
The tour is scheduled for six cities and 14 shows from November onward, with major arenas set as venues. The 15th single was released on June 11, and a priority application window using the serial numbers enclosed in every format has begun.
An extended arena-scale tour paired with single-linked priority sales functions as a design that maximizes the initial momentum of core fans. Tying physical bonuses to live demand is a pattern common among major artists in recent years.
"BOW AND ARROW" was produced as the opening theme for the TV anime "Medalist." Its connection to a visual work broadens the song's reach, and anticipation is building for the worldview implied by the tour title "GHOST."
Also worth a listen: BOW AND ARROW
"BOW AND ARROW" also drew attention through its link to a figure-skating short program, gaining traction across broadcast and streaming. A rollout spanning anime, sports and streaming forms the structure that sustains long-term plays for tie-in songs.
The ZEN editorial team sees the cycle — tie-in songs earning long-term streams and linking with tour priority sales to build initial momentum — as the standard form of today's major-release design.
