Kimura Takuya will kick off his live tour 'TAKUYA KIMURA Live Tour 2022 Next Destination' in February.

For his first tour in two years, Kimura will perform at World Memorial Hall (Hyogo), Hiroshima Green Arena, Nippon Gaishi Hall (Aichi), and Pia Arena MM (Kanagawa). He chose these venues as he wanted to spend time with more guests than his previous tour. 

In addition, the last artists providing a song for Kimura's new album "Next Destination" has been revealed. Titled "Born ready," it was written by Akashiya Sanma and composed by BEGIN. On the song, Akashiya commented, "I wrote the song with Kimura in mind, but it seems Kimura thought about me during recording, so he sang it while laughing. Hurry up and put the lyrics into your body as if it were your own! It's not mine anymore lol."

The tour schedule and album track list can be seen below.
