🎵 Finalizing the concert programs and repertoire for each venue
My vision for Japan 🇯🇵
"A journey that began nearly forty years ago – and is still continuing."
People often ask me why I keep returning to Japan. The simple answer is that I love the country and its people. But it is also something much deeper.
When I first travelled to Japan nearly forty years ago, I had no idea how deeply that journey would shape my life. Over the years, friendships have grown, doors have opened, and I have had the privilege of sharing music and faith in churches, concert halls, schools, conferences, and many other places.
My desire is not simply to return to Japan to give concerts, but to continue building lasting relationships with people, churches, musicians, and choirs. Through music, friendship, and faith, I want to share hope, encouragement, joy, and God's love.
I believe God is guiding this journey step by step, and I look forward with great expectation to what lies ahead.
🎵 Where We Are Right Now
The Journey Is Getting Closer
The excitement is growing as my Japan tour this autumn draws nearer. Most of the concerts and visits have now been confirmed, and we are spending these weeks preparing the final details before departure.
At the moment we are working on:
📄 Reviewing and receiving the concert flyers that each organizer is preparing
🎫 Tickets are now available for the Sweden–Japan Music Bridge Premium Live in Tokyo and the Premium Concert in Takarazuka
🤝 Continuing to work closely with organizers across Japan
🛍️ Preparing CDs, artwork, and other materials to bring to Japan
🙏 Praying for every concert, every meeting, and everyone Patrik and I will have the privilege of meeting along the way
It has been exciting to see the first concert flyers completed and to watch the tour gradually take shape. One by one, the final details are falling into place, and we are deeply grateful for everyone who is helping make this journey possible. Patrik and I are looking forward to sharing music, hope, and friendship across Japan this October.
Please visit this page again—I will continue to share updates as the journey unfolds.

🇯🇵 Narita – The Opening Concert of the Japan Tour
I'm delighted to share that the very first concert of my 2026 Japan Tour has now been announced.
On October 1, I'll have the joy of singing at Narita Community Church, where our journey across Japan begins. The evening will be filled with music, personal stories, and songs of hope. It is a special privilege to start this year's tour together with the wonderful congregation in Narita, and I'm very grateful for all the preparations Pastor Wataru Shinozaki and the church family are making.
I look forward to seeing many familiar faces—and meeting many new friends—as the 2026 Japan Tour begins. This concert marks the beginning of a journey that will take us to churches, schools, concert halls, and communities across Japan. Thank you for praying for this tour! 🙏

🌸 My Vision
My desire is to continue building bridges between Sweden and Japan through music, relationships, and faith.
I don't simply want to travel to Japan to give concerts. I want to build lasting relationships with people, churches, musicians, and choirs. I want to encourage people of all ages and share the hope and joy that I have found through my faith in Jesus Christ.
I dream of seeing new partnerships grow, inspiring the next generation, and creating places where people can meet through music, fellowship, and hope.
This ministry is not about giving as many concerts as possible. It is about people—listening, encouraging, sharing life, and together sharing God's love.
I don't know exactly where this journey will lead, but I believe God is guiding each step. That's why I want to keep walking forward with open hands, an open heart, and great expectation for all that lies ahead.
People often ask me why I keep returning to Japan. The simple answer is that I love the country and its people. But it's also something much deeper than that.
When I first travelled to Japan, I had no idea that the journey would change my life. I went there to sing, but I received so much more than I could ever have imagined.
Over the years, I've met people who have become close friends. I've had the privilege of singing and speaking in churches, concert halls, schools and conferences. I've shared moments of joy and sorrow, laughter and tears. Time and time again, I've seen how music can open doors where words are sometimes not enough.
After more than thirty years, Japan feels almost like a second home. That's why my heart keeps drawing me back.
I believe that God opens doors when we dare to take steps of faith. Many of the most meaningful encounters in my life could never have been planned. They have grown out of relationships, trust, and a desire to serve others.
Today I find myself at the beginning of a new chapter!
For many years I travelled to Japan at the invitation of different organisers. Now I feel a calling to build something more long-term together with friends and partners. Not just individual concerts, but relationships that can continue to grow over time.
My vision is to keep sharing music, hope, and God's love with people in Japan. I want to encourage and inspire people, creating places where they feel seen, valued, and loved.
I also dream of working together with local musicians, choirs, and churches, encouraging the next generation, and seeing new friendships grow between Sweden and Japan.
This page is therefore more than a presentation of upcoming concerts. It's an invitation to follow the journey.
Here I will share updates about the preparations, introduce some of the people I meet, write about both joys and challenges, and tell the stories that shape the road ahead.
I would love for you to come along.
Through your prayers, your encouragement, or your support, you become part of this journey.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
