Uma Musume: Pretty Derby Announces First World Tour: Will Perform in Los Angeles, London, Seoul and Yokohama

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby fans have big news! Cygames' popular horse racing-themed multimedia series is launching a world tour for the first time, crossing Japan's borders. According to Anime News Network, the tour will include concerts in Los Angeles, London, Seoul and Yokohama. The Tokyo leg was successfully held last weekend.

This tour is considered the biggest global expansion step for the Uma Musume: Pretty Derby brand. The series gained a huge fan base, especially in Asia, thanks to the first anime series released in 2018 and the subsequent popular mobile game. The game features "horse girls," personified versions of real racehorses, and combines rhythm game and management simulation elements.

The concerts are expected to feature the series' iconic songs as well as live performances by the voice actors of the characters. The Los Angeles leg is noted as a significant strategic move targeting the series' fan base in America. The inclusion of London and Seoul in the tour schedule indicates Uma Musume's desire to enter European and South Korean markets.

Cygames had previously emphasized its goal of turning the series into a global brand. This tour is more than just a concert series; it is a demonstration of how the Uma Musume: Pretty Derby universe can expand through live performances. Particularly, the third season released in 2023 and the subsequent film brought the series' popularity to its peak.

Fans have already started following official channels for ticket details and additional dates. The tour schedule is expected to be finalized in the coming weeks. Such a world tour is an important step for Japanese anime music culture to become more visible on the global stage. For Uma Musume fans, this means an opportunity to physically participate in the series and have a unique experience.
