SHISHAMO to Conclude Their Journey with a Final Concert
SHISHAMO, the beloved three-member rock band, has announced their impending farewell with a two-day live concert titled “SHISHAMO THE FINAL!!! ～Thanks for everything～” at Uvance Todoroki Stadium by Fujitsu in Kanagawa Prefecture. Scheduled for June 13 and 14, 2026, this event marks the end of an era for a band that has deeply resonated with fans since their debut.
A Journey of Musical Excellence
Formed in 2013, SHISHAMO consists of Asako Miyazaki (Guitar, Vocals), Aya Matsuoka (Bass), and Misaki Yoshikawa (Drums). Their self-titled debut album released the same year laid the foundation for a decade-long journey filled with chart-toppers, memorable performances, and a growing fanbase. Their breakthrough came in December 2017 when they made their first appearance at the prestigious NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.
Celebrating ten years since their CD debut in 2023, SHISHAMO held live performances at iconic venues such as Nippon Budokan in Tokyo and Osaka Castle Hall, showcasing their evolution and connection with fans. Additionally, the band ventured beyond Japan’s borders, performing in Taiwan and South Korea, further cementing their international appeal.
Facing Challenges
Despite the challenges faced, particularly with drummer Yoshikawa’s health issues, which began in February 2025, the band adapted by welcoming a support drummer, allowing them to continue performing. Their resilience highlighted their commitment not only to each other but also to their fans.
A Heartfelt Announcement
On September 27, during a live concert at Zepp Haneda in Tokyo, the band shared their decision to conclude their activities. Expressing their deep connection to SHISHAMO, the members stated, “SHISHAMO, as a band, is something we cannot put into words. That’s why we have always aimed to be true to ourselves until the very end of our journey.” This heartfelt sentiment resonated with fans, who have stood by them through thick and thin.
Final Concert Details
The final concerts are particularly poignant as they take place at Todoroki Stadium, a venue SHISHAMO had longed to perform at in past years but had to cancel due to natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic. The June 13 performance will be themed as “THANKS DAY,” while the event on June 14 is titled “GOODBYE DAY,” offering fans unique experiences on both days.
The band’s official fan club, “Shamo Support,” along with the official website, will offer pre-sale ticket reservations until October 14, which includes general admission and special two-day tickets with memorable merchandise. Fans are encouraged to seize this opportunity to participate in a historical farewell.
Join the Celebration
As SHISHAMO prepares for their final concerts, they invite fans to join them for a celebration filled with emotions, laughter, and unforgettable memories. They envision a farewell that captures the essence of their journey together. “Let’s cry, laugh, and create the best memories together. We’ll be waiting for you at Todoroki!”
Conclusion
SHISHAMO’s final live concert is not just an ending, but a celebration of their incredible journey and the bond they’ve built with fans. Make sure to mark your calendars for June 13 and 14, 2026, to witness this historic moment in music history.
