Exactly a year after her previous European tour, YURAPICO returns to Europe in June for several shows and fan meetings in Germany and France, giving fans the chance to have a unique fan experience at the various events organised. It will be the first time that the idol is heading to France, while she has already performed several times in Germany. The mini-tour is titled 1!2! Smile Europe Ikou.

First up, the ever-smiling idol will make two appearances in Düsseldorf and Bremen, followed by an Off-Kai event in Bremen. The live performances are free to attend, with the possibility to support the musician with a donation. VIP packages are also offered, for earlier access to the venue and a meet-and-greet with YURAPICO. The Off-Kai is an event similar to a meet and greet, but longer in duration, with food and drinks, in this case, a barbecue with a surprise. These activities have been organised by the German Idol Society, which has titled this leg of the mini-tour The Art of Underground Idol.

Afterwards, YURAPICO, who describes herself as the most passionate idol in the world, travels to Paris for two activity-packed days. On the first day, there are two fan meetings planned, a restaurant and a karaoke fan meeting. Depending on which fan meeting you want to attend, you can choose to have a bit to eat at a restaurant with the opportunity to have a chat with YURAPICO or spend a few hours singing with the idol at the karaoke fan meeting. The following day, YURAPICO will perform in the heart of Paris. These activities have been organised in collaboration with Bonjour Idol and Tebasaki Group K.K., and to join them, you have to sign up through a form. The exact information of all its activities in Germany and France has been neatly listed by the idol on her social media.

YURAPICO, written in Japanese as ゆらぴこ, has been active as an idol and performer for 10 years but started her solo activities in 2022. She has been active in several idol groups but might be more known for her activities in idol groups Guso Drop and BURST GIRL. In 2023, she released her first album YuraSmile, and toured Japan with the mission to spread the magic of smiles in all 47 prefectures. After several shows in Europe, she made her U.S. debut last August as a musical guest at Saboten Con. This was followed by her first-ever performance in Korea, in the city of Seoul. Earlier this year, she returned to the United States, this time for a performance at OCJapan Fair. During her stay in Los Angeles, she recorded a new music video for the song MOMENT.
