LiSA has two major announcements to celebrate: a 19-date hall tour titled "LiVE is Smile Always～LACE UP～" and a voice acting role in the upcoming Minions film.

The tour kicks off in October 2026 and runs through January 2027, hitting venues across Japan from Yamanashi to Tokyo. The announcement came during the final show of her arena tour on May 20 at Aichi's Crocco-kun Hall, with fan club pre-sales opening May 31.

In a surprise twist, Minions James and Henry appeared during the encore to reveal LiSA's voice casting in Minions & Monsters, set for nationwide release on August 7. She'll voice a Hollywood actress character—a notable role upgrade from her previous work dubbing the Minions themselves in earlier films. "This time I'm playing the Hollywood actress opposite the Minions! I'll do my best," LiSA said with a smile.

This marks the first time the Minions have made an appearance at LiSA's solo concert since April 2022, when they attended her Budokan performance. LiSA's dedication to the franchise is well-known among fans—she's been a vocal Minions enthusiast and has consistently participated in dubbing the series' Japanese versions.

The tour spans 17 locations across the country, with stops in major cities like Osaka, Fukuoka, and Sapporo, plus smaller regional venues. Dates are spread throughout the fall and winter, giving fans across different prefectures opportunities to catch her live.

This tour announcement continues LiSA's momentum following the release of her seventh album "LACE UP" earlier this year, which compiled 15 years of her musical journey. Between the extensive touring schedule and her voice acting commitments, LiSA has a busy year ahead.
