Misia concert chronology

Misia Candle Night 2017 was a concert tour by Japanese singer Misia and the sixth installment of the Misia Candle Night concert series. The tour spanned four shows across two locations. The first two shows were held in May 2017, at the Sengan-en in Kagoshima to commemorate its World Heritage Site declaration.[1] The second leg of the tour began and ended with two shows at Kawaguchiko Stellar Theater in Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi in August 2017.[2]

First leg[]

On January 16, 2017, the first leg of the tour, dubbed Dai-sanjūsan-kai JTB Sekai Isan Gekijō: Kagoshima Sengan-en Sekai Isan Tōroku Kinen Misia Candle Night (第33回JTB世界遺産劇場‐鹿児島 仙巌園‐ 世界遺産登録記念 Misia Candle Night) and consisting of two shows scheduled for March 25-26, 2017 at the Japanese garden Sengan-en, to celebrate it receiving the distinction of World Heritage Site, was announced.[3] On March 2, 2017, Misia issued a statement through her official website and social media saying that she had been hospitalized with acute viral hepatitis and would have to postpone her upcoming guest appearance at the benefit concert The Unforgettable Day 3.11, as well as the two Misia Candle Night dates.[4] A week later, Misia posted on her instagram that she had been discharged from the hospital and was recuperating at home.[5] The Misia Candle Night shows were re-scheduled for May 27-28, 2017.[6]

On March 31, 2017, a poll was set up through Misia's official mobile app World of Misia where fans could vote for which songs they would like Misia to cover in concert.[7] The top ten vote-getters, including Stevie Wonder's "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing", which Misia covered earlier in 2017 for the Japanese dub of the movie Sing, Miyuki Nakajima's "Ito" (糸) and Koji Tamaki's "Melody" (メロディー) at the top of the list, were revealed on May 26, 2017.[8]

The charity Candle Night Bar also took place this year and 420,835 yen were raised to be redistributed through the non-profit organization Mudef towards sponsoring the Magoso school in Nairobi's Kibera Slum's entrance into the local music festival.[9]
