At the 68th Grammy Awards held in Los Angeles on February 1 (local time), Bad Bunny achieved the historic feat of winning the Album of the Year award for “DeBÍ TiRAR MaS FOToS,” marking the first time a Spanish-language work has won a major category.
His first-ever solo concert in Asia will take place in Tokyo on Saturday, March 7.
This concert is not part of his “Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour” running from November 2025 to July 2026. Instead, it’s a one-night-only special solo concert for Japan’s top listeners, part of Spotify’s exclusive concert series “Billions Club Live.” Japan’s top listeners may have received invitation emails, but other participation methods are not currently public.
“Billions Club Live” is an exclusive event series for the top fans of artists who have surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify. Ed Sheeran, Miley Cyrus, and The Weeknd have previously performed live in various countries worldwide, and now Bad Bunny will join their ranks.
Bad Bunny was named the number one artist on Spotify’s 2025 Year-End Rankings for “Most Streamed Artists Globally,” marking his fourth time at the top – the most times ever achieved.

The music video begins with Bad Bunny drinking alone in what appears to be an izakaya-style bar. Midway through, a scene shows him getting a “Pokémon GO” tattoo.The finale shows Bad Bunny transformed into an anime character walking under cherry blossoms, singing “Where are you?” in Japanese to conclude the video.
