The Tour Plan Is Filling Up!
There is something very special about watching a journey that has been planned for such a long time slowly become reality.
Over the past few weeks, more and more pieces of my Japan Tour 2026 have fallen into place. Concert flyers are arriving, programs are being prepared, and the tour plan is filling up with concerts, gatherings, school visits, and other special events.
When I look at the tour plan now, I can finally begin to picture the journey ahead.
On October 1, we begin in Narita, and during the following weeks Patrik and I will travel through Japan, visiting churches, schools, concert halls, and cultural venues. Every place will be different, and every event has its own story.
And now there is only one month left until we leave Sweden!
Making Music with Friends π΅
One of the things I am especially looking forward to is making music together with dear friends.
In Tokyo and Takarazuka, I will be performing together with Shinichiro Yamamoto. Shinichiro and I have been working together for a long time preparing for this tour, and I am so grateful for everything he has done to help make it possible.
Our first concert together will be in Tokyo on October 4, followed by the Premium Concert in Takarazuka on October 12.
Tickets are now available for both concerts, and you can find all the information through the tour plan.

The Final Concert of the Tour πΈ
I’m also very happy to share that tickets are now available for the final concert of my Japan Tour 2026!
On October 17, the tour will come to an end in Sendai, where I will have the joy of giving a concert together with pianist Saée Tahara.
Saée has arranged this concert, and I am so grateful and excited that we will have the opportunity to make music together. We have known each other for many years, and it feels very special to conclude this journey together in Sendai.

More Than Concerts
As the tour plan grows, I am reminded again that this journey is about so much more than concerts.
Along the way there will be gatherings in churches, visits to schools, new encounters and reunions with old friends. In Tokyo, I will also participate in 2026 PARAART TOKYO International Exchange Exhibition, where one of my paintings has been selected for the exhibition.
This is very much at the heart of my vision for Lena Maria’s Ministry. I don't simply want to travel to Japan, give concerts, and then go home. I want to build friendships and collaborations that can continue to grow over time.
Through music, friendship, and faith, I hope to share Music • Hope • Love wherever the journey takes us.
One Month to Go!
It is exciting to see all the dates appearing on the tour plan, but behind every date are people who are giving their time, energy, and care to make each event possible.
I am deeply grateful to all the organizers, musicians, churches, schools, friends, and many others who are preparing for our visit.
And thank you to everyone who is praying, encouraging, supporting, and following this journey from different parts of the world.
Please continue to pray for these final weeks of preparation, for our travels, and most of all for every person we will have the privilege of meeting along the way.
The journey is getting closer!
If you are in Japan this October, take a look at the tour plan. Perhaps we will meet somewhere along the way! πΈ
