Masaru Takahashi completed his nationwide tour "Masaru Takahashi LIVE TOUR 2025 "ARE YOU HAPPY?

This tour is a nationwide tour of Masaru Takahashi's 9th album "HAPPY" released on January 22 (Wed.) this year.
Starting on February 22 (Sat) at the Main Hall of YCC Kenmin Bunka Hall (Yamanashi Prefectural Citizens Culture Hall) in Yamanashi Prefecture, the event was held at 28 venues for a total of 30 performances, with the final performance today, June 28 (Sat) at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA in Tokyo.

As the buzzer sounded to open the show in the sold-out venue, the LEDs displaying the titles of previous tours like a boarding board at an airport lit up with the title of this tour, "ARE YOU HAPPY?

The first song was "BRAVE TRAIN," which symbolizes the message contained in the album "HAPPY.
From the very beginning of the tour, the lyrics of the song "Are you happy now? the lyrics of the tour title itself, drew the audience into a world view that only Yu Takahashi could provide.

In the next block, "It looks like the war will start tomorrow", "Hana Uta -pray for Akita-", etc.
They performed songs from their album "Happy," looking straight at the audience and echoing each word.

The MC talked about episodes from the tour stops along with photos, which has become a regular feature of the event.
This is the best part of Masaru Takahashi's live performance, which brings the audience close to him at once.

He added, "I have experienced many encounters and partings over the past 15 years. All of them are treasures, and some of them I will never be able to see again. But the bond between us will never disappear. I hope the person is still HAPPY. I think that maybe they are watching me nearby," he quietly released the words, and the "Hide and Seek" began.
They then performed the ballad "Kiseki", the ED theme song for TBS "news23".
The audience was moved by the warm yet lonely songs that conveyed the message that "happiness is not something to be taken for granted. The audience was moved by the warm yet lonely songs that conveyed the message that "happiness is not something to be taken for granted.

In the middle block, the audience danced and sang along to "WINDING MIND" with lyrics in Akita dialect, followed by a chorus of Yu Takahashi's signature song, "Tomorrow will be a good day.

After beautiful harmonies, the stage was lit up with the comical sound of the violin, and then the leather jacket was taken out of the box, the guitar was scratched, and the song began, which was also the catchphrase from the debut and the title of the song, "Real Time Singer-Songwriter".
The voltage of the venue reached an all-time high with a song that embodied Yu Takahashi.

I would be happy if even one of your happy shines through today." There were many happy moments as I listened to the endless applause. I, Masaru Takahashi, have wanted to be a singer who can deliver something, and I have been doing it for 15 years. I give a round of applause to those who have come here today and to everyone who works hard every day! The last song of the main program was "Genshita no Kassai" (present applause).
The moment when the audience sang along with "Just one thing, just one thing, in the shining darkness, just one precious thing, if you could cherish it today, it would be beautiful" was the embodiment of "HAPPY" and the main event ended.

Masaru Takahashi reappeared with twinkling lights amidst resounding claps.
Thank you for the encore." This year we will be celebrating our 15th anniversary on July 21.
We want to make this our 15th anniversary year to enjoy with everyone.
On September 27 and 28, we will hold "Masaru Takahashi 15th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL LIVE IN AKITA "~Kyotsukuri Ningen Tenjyo 2025~", and we would be happy if you could come to Akita to see us.

In the encore block, they sang "Fukko-rai" with a big smile on their faces, stretching out and echoing the song.
One aspect of the singalong was particularly impressive: "I am sure the common language of this world is not English, but smiles."
Despite the title of the song, "Fukuso," the audience sang along with straight-up tears in their eyes. Yu Takahashi will continue to light up the hearts of the audience gathered at this venue for a long time.

Also on Saturday the 28th, "I was so moved by everyone's voices at the tour finale, can I sing just one more song?"
The audience was delighted with a performance of "Peanuts" as a double encore.
If even one person who came to see this tour had been missing, it would not have been possible. 15 years of this tour has been all you have given me. That's why I, Yu Takahashi, will keep on singing! and left the stage to a huge ovation.

Since his major debut on July 21, 2010 with the single "Wonderful Everyday Life," Masaru Takahashi has been singing for 15 years as a real-time singer-songwriter who sings what he thinks now.
From here, Takahashi's songs, born of trust in words and trust in people, are sure to win the hearts of many more people.

ARE YOU HAPPY?" The tour title "Are you happy?" is not a throwaway question, but rather a moment of happiness delivered by Yu Takahashi.
It was a night of historic emotion.
