Singing duo TVXQ will tour Japan next year, making it the first time in four years that the popular idol group will travel throughout the country to perform for their fans there.
A message on the boys' official Japanese website showed Friday that the two, considered one of K-pop's most successful artists in the Asia region, will hold a total of 14 shows throughout nine cities in Japan for the "TVXQ LIVE TOUR 2012~ TONE~" for three months starting January 2012.
The tour will promote the boys' upcoming album titled "TONE" set to be released in the country on September 28.
The album will also be their first Japanese release as a duo since parting with former members Jaejoong, Yuchun and Junsu after the three halted their activities as TVXQ due to the unfairness of their 13-year exclusive contract with SM Entertainment.
They also released the repackaged and Japanese version of album "Why (Keep Your Head Down)" which has fared well both in Japan and Korea.
