What this is
.ENDRECHERI. is the solo music project of Tsuyoshi Domoto, one half of the iconic J-pop duo KinKi Kids, who have been a cornerstone of Japanese pop culture since the 1990s. Under this alias, Domoto explores a far more experimental sonic palette — blending rock, electronic, and theatrical elements that stand in sharp contrast to his mainstream idol work. The 2026 'New Chapter' tour signals a significant new phase in his solo career, featuring new material alongside his signature genre-defying performances. With over two decades of boundary-pushing artistry behind him, .ENDRECHERI. has built a devoted following among fans who appreciate sophisticated, unconventional Japanese music. This tour is a rare opportunity to witness one of J-pop's most creatively restless artists in a live setting.
Who should go
Fans of Japanese rock, experimental pop, and avant-garde performance art will find Domoto's live shows genuinely compelling and unlike typical J-pop idol concerts. Longtime KinKi Kids followers who want to see a different, darker side of Domoto's artistry will be especially rewarded. The atmosphere tends toward the theatrical and immersive, with elaborate staging and lighting design that elevates the experience beyond a standard concert. Music enthusiasts with no prior knowledge of KinKi Kids but an interest in genre-defying Japanese artists are also well-suited to this show. Book tickets as soon as they go on sale — .ENDRECHERI. shows sell out quickly among a highly dedicated fanbase.
Good to know
Tickets for .ENDRECHERI. tours are in high demand and frequently sell out at the fan club pre-sale stage, so registering with the official fan club (Johnny's/SMILE-UP. membership) significantly improves your chances of securing a seat. General sale tickets, when available, are sold through eplus.jp and pia.jp — both platforms accept foreign Visa and Mastercard, and Lawson Ticket combini pickup is the most practical option for visitors staying in Japan. Venues across the tour will vary in size and configuration, so check whether your specific date is seated or standing before attending. Merchandise lines open before doors and sell out fast — arriving 60–90 minutes early is advisable if you want official tour goods. Cash is recommended for in-venue purchases at most Japanese concert halls, as card acceptance at merch booths is not guaranteed.
