The Tour of Misia 2007 Ascension

The Tour of Misia 2007 Ascension was the eleventh concert tour by Japanese recording artist Misia, in support of her album Ascension (2007). Comprising a set list of songs from Ascension and previous albums, including two hip-hop and house medleys, the tour visited arenas nationwide for a duration of four months. The tour was announced on August 3, 2006, two days prior to the start of Misia's Hoshizora no Live III Music Is a Joy Forever summer tour.[1] The Tour of Misia 2007 Ascension commenced in November 2006 and concluded three days after the release of Ascension, in February 2007.[1][2][3] Initially scheduled to run for eighteen shows, an additional date was later added to the itinerary.[4] Sponsored by OCN, the tour drew an estimated audience of 160,000.[3]

Misia concert chronology

The concept for the show is described as "futuristic rhythm with a taste of nature."[4] The stage resembled a floating octagon-shape mirror, adorned with 10,000 LED lights and overlooked by a giant pipe-made elephant head, reminiscent of the first press edition cover artwork of Ascension.[4]

On April 6, 2007, WOWOW aired a special titled The Tour of Misia 2007 in Yokohama Arena, which showed a TV edit of the tour's finale show.[5]
