Kazumasa Oda Japan 2025 – Concert Schedule & Ticket Information

Overview

Kazumasa Oda, born in 1947, is a legendary Japanese singer-songwriter, formerly the leader of the folk rock band Off Course (1969–1989). His solo career soared with the 1991 hit “ラブ・ストーリーは突然に (Love Story wa Totsuzen ni),” the theme for Tokyo Love Story, which sold 2.58 million copies, making it the best-selling Japanese single at the time. Oda set records as the oldest artist to top Oricon charts with his 2005 album Soukana and 2007 single “Kokoro.” His Meiji Yasuda Presents Kazumasa Oda Tour 2025 みんなで自己ベスト!! (Let’s All Achieve Our Personal Best!!) includes performances at Osaka-Jo Hall on September 10 and 11, 2025. Known for his emotive J-Pop ballads and nostalgic performances, Oda’s concerts draw massive crowds, with posts on X noting the “timeless energy” of his live shows.
