The cancellation was decided because of the COVID-19 pandemic that is going through Japan and the state of emergency that was active at the time. In fact, although the events were scheduled for May 9 and 10, the staff assured at the time that they would be postponed, and not canceled. However, due to the difficulty of re-organizing the agenda, they opted for the latter.
The concerts were scheduled to take place on May 9 and 10, and the staff apologized for any problems this may have caused, especially those anxiously awaiting this performance.
