(CNA, Reporter Hung Su-chin, Taipei, 23rd) Japanese rock band Novelbright will hold a tour stop at the New Taipei City Exhibition Hall on October 24; ethereal Japanese singer-songwriter Kairi Yagi will hold a concert in Taipei on August 30 to celebrate her 5th anniversary, marking her first overseas performance. She expressed excitement about trying Taiwanese cuisine.

According to information provided by the organizers, the popular Japanese rock band Novelbright recently announced the schedule for their new Asian tour, "Novelbright ASIA TOUR 2026 ~PYRAMID~." The Taipei stop is set for October 24 at the New Taipei City Exhibition Hall, which will also serve as the grand finale of this tour. They will be visiting Taiwan for the third time to perform songs from their new album "PYRAMID."

Novelbright's new album "PYRAMID" embraces the concept of an "existence that transcends eras, is unpredictable, yet continuously loved." The inspiration comes from an interest in history and the unknown, hoping the work allows listeners to have different interpretations without being confined to a single scenario.

Ethereal Japanese singer-songwriter Kairi Yagi will hold the "Kairi Yagi ONE-MAN LIVE 2026 in TAIPEI" concert at Taipei CLAPPER STUDIO on August 30. Upon hearing that the Taipei concert was finalized, Kairi Yagi said, "Since it's my first time going overseas, I'm really looking forward to tasting Taiwanese food that I usually can't get."

Kairi Yagi admitted that she had always wanted to hold a concert outside of Japan, so she was truly thrilled when the Taipei performance was confirmed. (Edited by: Li Shu-hua) 1150423
