Tohoshinki concert chronology |
Tree: Live Tour 2014 (stylized as Tohoshinki Live Tour 2014 ~TREE~), also known as the Tree Tour, was the seventh Japanese concert tour (eleventh overall) by South Korean pop duo Tohoshinki, and was launched in support of their seventh Japanese studio album Tree (2014). It was first announced by the duo in November 2013, during the last show of their fanclub event tour, The Mission II. The theme of the tour was the Tree of Life, in which Tohoshinki, two beings born from the tree of life, use their spirit to save humanity from darkness.
The Tree Tour kicked off in Yokohama on April 22, 2014 and visited a total of ten cities and eleven venues in Japan. It concluded on June 22, 2014 in Osaka. Over 600,000 people attended the tour.[1]
Background
[edit]On November 23, 2013, Tohoshinki held their fanclub event tour The Mission II at the Saitama Super Arena, where they performed several songs from their last two albums and interacted with fans. At the end of the show, Tohoshinki revealed their plans to embark on a new nationwide tour in 2014.[2] Following the duo's unveil, twenty-six dates for their tour were announced by their record label Avex Trax,[2] but the name of the tour was not officially revealed until January 2014, when Tohoshinki announced the release of their seventh Japanese album, Tree.[3]
Unlike the duo's previous Time: Live Tour 2013, which visited all five of Japan's major concert domes including the Nissan Stadium, the Tree Tour visited smaller concert halls and arenas. The duo stated that they wanted to perform in smaller venues in order to have better interactions with their audience.[4] The Tree Tour began with three shows in the Yokohama Arena in April 2014.
On February 24, 2014, three additional dates were announced, extending the tour's shows at Tokyo Dome and Osaka Dome to four days each,[5] making Tohoshinki the first non-Japanese band to hold concerts at the Tokyo Dome for three years in a row.[6] On March 20, the tour's official website and merchandise were launched.
