Japanese voice actor and singer Nana Mizuki will visit Korean fans with her first concert in Korea since her debut.

Mizuki Nana will hold 'NANA MIZUKI LIVE VISION 2025-2026+ in SEOUL' at Sejong University's Ocean Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on the 21st and 22nd.

As this is Nana Mizuki's first concert in Korea since her debut, domestic fans' expectations are different. Nana Mizuki is in the midst of preparing to meet the audience with a setlist of her music journey to repay the support of domestic fans who have consistently shown her passionate love.

Nana Mizuki showed off her unrivaled presence by acting as a voice actor for famous animations such as "Naruto" and "One Piece," "Magic Girl Lyrical Nanoha," and "Dandadan." In addition to being the first voice actor to perform alone at Tokyo Dome, he also built up his reputation as an artist by recording numerous records, including appearing in Japan's largest year-end song festival NHK 'Red and White Song Competition' and topping the first Oricon album chart.

Nana Mizuki, a voice actor and singer who has a global influence, told various stories directly before her first concert in Korea.


[Mizuki Nana's question and answer]

Q. This is my first visit to Korea since my debut. How do you feel?

▶ In fact, I've never visited Korea personally, so this is my first visit to Korea. As Korean culture, such as entertainment, fashion, and makeup, is receiving hot attention all over the world, I am very nervous to perform in front of many sensational audiences. But I will do my best to show you my passionate performance.

Q. What do you want to show to Korean audiences who are new to Nana Mizuki's performance?

▶ When it comes to Nana Mizuki's live performance, everyone participates. I would be happy if you could leave your body to the song, sing, run, and dance together.

Q. Is there anything special you prepared for this performance?

▶ As the theme of this tour is 'VISION', we have prepared a video-specific direction. I spent time on each song and had repeated meetings with the video team, and visualized the image that came to my mind when I made the song. This is my first time producing a video for every song, so please feel immersed.

Q. What are the differences from Japanese performances or characteristics of overseas performances?

▶ Since the Japanese performance was held from December last year to January this year, it was mainly composed of songs reminiscent of winter. However, overseas performances were held from February to April, so we prepared a song full of high-quality as the season turned to spring and the temperature rose. Fans who watched the Hong Kong concert recently commented that they were more exhausted than the Japanese concert, so please take care of your condition and come and have fun.

Q. You are loved by fans as a voice actor and singer, but what are the pros and cons of doing both things at the same time?

▶ Each activity is giving me many challenges and an opportunity to open the door to new expressions. As a voice actor, I play various characters and live that life together, and I come across ways of thinking or looking at things that I would not have known if I had lived my life alone. In addition, when singing, the range of expressions is broadened or it leads to the idea of making a song. There are times when you encounter new songs and discover unprecedented voice expressions. If there's something difficult about it, it's taking care of your throat. I think it's always hard to maintain my best voice condition because sometimes I have to dub a recording from Monday morning after a violent live on the weekend.

Q. What kind of existence has the live concert hall changed to Nana Mizuki who has been active for a long time?

▶ For me, live is a source of strength. This hasn't changed since our debut. When you exchange energy with the audience, you gain tremendous power, and when you communicate directly and hear a vivid voice, ideas for the next performance or song production spring up. For me, the concert hall is a special place.

Q. What was the most memorable performance you've ever performed?

▶ There are so many that I can't tell you everything, but one of the most memorable overseas performances is the surprise event prepared by the fans in Taipei, Shanghai and Singapore. They made their own goods and sang my songs in Japanese, so I was truly moved by the love from the fans.

Q. What is a must-have item to maintain your condition during your overseas tour?

▶ Quality sleep is essential to perform with all your might, so make sure to bring your pajamas that you always wear at home. Lavender bath salt is also a must for an expedition.

Q. Any future plans?

▶ In July, a new animation of "Magic Girl Lyrical Nanoha" will be aired, and I will be in charge of the theme song. In September, a full orchestra live "LIVE GRACE" will be held for the first time in a long time. Last year marked the 25th anniversary of the singer's debut, and I will continue to run without hesitation with the goal of holding a performance at the age of 77, which is the 57th anniversary.

Q. A word to the Korean fans who have been waiting for your visit to Korea?

▶ We have prepared a really hot setlist that covers not only the new album, but also the songs we often sing live and the representative songs. I'll do my best to sing, so please come and see me. I'm really looking forward to meeting you.
