On September 15th, Kuwata Keisuke kicked off his 1st nationwide tour in 5 years at Miyagi Sekisui Heim Super Arena.

About 6 months after the Tohoku Earthquake, Kuwata held a charity live at this same venue, which also marked his first live after surgery for esophageal cancer. During the concert, the singer promised that he would return.

Kuwata called out, "I'm now able to hold a tour! Thank you Sendai!", to which 8,500 fans reacted with a loud cheer and round of applause.

The tour is titled "Kuwata Keisuke LIVE TOUR 2007 Yobisute Demo Kamaimasen!! 'Yo, Kuwata Keisuke' SHOW", and on this day, Kuwata performed a total of 25 songs mainly from his latest best-of album, "I LOVE YOU now & forever". Aside his hit songs "Itoshii Hito e Sasagu Uta", "Shiawase no Last Dance", and "Naminori Johnny", he performed "Let�s try again ~kuwata keisuke ver.~" for the 1st time in a year.

During "Koe ni Dashite Utaitai Nihon Bungaku (Medley)", Kuwata overwhelmed the crowd with a musical and rock opera performance.

The concert also featured 'Niji no Hiroba', an open space decorated with countless paper lanterns and stands from various places in Tohoku. After the concert, Kuwata saw the fans off by lighting up the paper lanterns as well as lanterns that were used during Sendai's Tanabata Matsuri (Star Festival).

Kuwata is scheduled to hold a total of 22 shows in 10 locations for this tour. It will wrap up on December 31st at Yokohama Arena.
