Tetsuya Komuro and Daisuke Asakura’s musical duo PANDORA has announced their comeback following a seven-year separation. On February 28, 2025, the pair will be performing live at Zepp DiverCity in Tokyo.

PANDORA made their debut in 2017 and in February of 2018 they released their mini-album Blueprint. Their plans, however, came to a sudden end when news of Komuro’s retirement spread. A lot of people who like Japanese pop and techno music have been waiting for Komuro to come back in 2021, and the group has finally chosen to start working again.

Guests in the forthcoming PANDORA LIVE 2025—OPEN THE BOX concert include Takanori Nishikawa (formerly of T.M.Revolution, a group that launched with Asakura as a producer) and Beverly (vocalist for PANDORA’s first hit, “Be The One”).

Until January 21, the official fan club of Komuro is taking lottery applications for ticket reservations. General ticket sales are scheduled to commence on February 9 at 10:00 AM, with pre-sales commencing on January 24 at 6:00 PM through ticketing sites.

As two major personalities in the business reconcile after a long separation, accompanied by special guests, this event is a watershed moment for PANDORA and Japanese pop music fans.
