It will be the second time for the K-pop group to hold a concert in Japan.

According to Entertainment Pascal, the band will not only perform its hit songs, but also introduce new songs at the concerts. Solo performances by each member are also planned.

The concerts follow the four-member group’s debut in Japan with a showcase in Tokyo in August. Stellar was also the first female K-pop group to hold a solo concert in Brazil in March.

Stella debuted in 2011 with “Rocket Girl,” but its early songs were met with lukewarm responses from the public and critics. Its breakthrough single “Marionette” in 2014 sparked controversy, as it was criticized for being oversexualized.
