Kano Miyu Seoul Live ‘1999’ · January 17, 2026

Date, venue and ticket categories

The official booking information listed an 18:30 start on January 17, a 90-minute duration and Hongdae STAGE on B1 of Hongdae Café. The artist’s official announcement specified doors at 17:30 and an all-standing concert.

Booking opening and ticket collection

Bookings opened on Melon Ticket at 18:00 on December 16, 2025, with a limit of four tickets per member. The official notice required on-site collection and presentation of the purchaser’s own ID and booking details. Non-Korean attendees were required to bring a passport or alien registration card.

Admission followed arrival order, with VIP ticket holders entering before general admission. Prices on the ticket page covered admission to the concert, not total spending including merchandise or additional purchases.

VIP benefits and photography

The official VIP benefits were priority entry and a post-show send-off, where attendees could exchange a few words with the artist as they left. Photography and video were permitted during the send-off. That permission was separate from the rules on photography and recording during the main performance.

The CD signing and merchandise purchases described in the journal were separate experiences at the venue. The recollection of 20 CDs and about ₩70,000 in merchandise should not be treated as benefits included with every VIP ticket.

What attendees needed at the time

The official instructions listed a limited number of coin lockers in the lobby, no dedicated parking, and the requirement to bring ID and booking details. Large suitcases, folding chairs and large flags that could obstruct standing attendees, along with professional filming equipment, were subject to restrictions on entry or use. These are preserved as the operating conditions of the January concert.

The music and the journal

The official discography gives the song title as “Akiramenaide” (あきらめないで, “Don’t Give Up”). The final Japanese syllable de is part of the title. Personal impressions of the Seoul concert appear in the linked JOURNAL.
