Chisako Takashima's 30th Anniversary Tour

Chisako Takashima, the renowned violinist, is celebrating her remarkable 30-year career in music this year. To commemorate this milestone, she is set to launch her first-ever national tour, titled “Chisako Takashima: 12 Violinists Concert Tour 2025-2026,” kicking off on September 12 in Kawasaki and continuing through March 1, 2026, in Okinawa. This extensive tour will feature 36 performances, showcasing some of her finest classical works alongside both familiar and original pieces.

The tour highlights include a special concert scheduled for October 25, marking her debut at the illustrious Nippon Budokan—an event she describes as a culmination of her three decades of artistic development.

Chisako's journey began in May 1995 when she released her album with the string duo CHOCOLATE FASHION. Since then, she has carved a significant niche in the classical music realm, with accolades and a dedicated following. Each performance during this tour is set to deliver a collection of classics and crowd favorites, ensuring that attendees experience the essence of her 30-year career.

Recently, she sparked conversations on social media after announcing a two-week break, leading to rumors about a possible hiatus. However, it turned out she simply needed some time to recharge. Following her short hiatus, she is thrilled and fully energized to embark on this long-awaited tour.

Chisako expressed her sentiments about the upcoming tour saying, “This year’s concert tour marks not only my 30th anniversary but also includes my very first performance at Nippon Budokan. I hope to deliver a concert that represents the essence of these 30 years, and I look forward to meeting all of you at the venue!”
