Nakagawa announced her tour on her YouTube channel Nakagawa Shoko no “Wo” via her X (formerly Twitter) account on September 7. In her X/Twitter post, she said, “Free meetups nationwide!! Shōko Nakagawa is coming to your town!”

She will travel to 14 different release events between September 8 to November 24 in Ibaraki, Hokkaido, Shiga, Osaka, Tokyo, Okinawa, Gifu, Shizuoka, Nara, and other prefectures. More inform can be found in the description of the YouTube video and on her website. She and her staff also suggested fans arrive to the venues early due to limited capacity.
