The Japanese singer behind one of the biggest streaming hits of the last decade is coming back to Hong Kong. YUURI, the Chiba-born artist whose ballad "Dried Flower" has racked up more than 400 million streams, plays a single Hong Kong date this November — his second visit to the city in as many years.
Who is YUURI, and why does this show matter?
YUURI (優里), born in Makuhari, Chiba Prefecture in 1994, spent his early twenties fronting the four-piece rock band The Bugzy before it disbanded in 2019. He then began busking on the streets of Shibuya, where a chance duet with My First Story vocalist Hiro went viral and helped launch his solo career later that year.
His breakout single "Dried Flower" (ドライフラワー) became a genuine phenomenon, surpassing 400 million streams and making him the first solo male artist in Japan to hit that milestone with a single song. The track won Song of the Year at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan, cementing YUURI as one of Japan's most streamed singer-songwriters of the past five years. He now records for Ariola Japan.
This will be YUURI's second Hong Kong concert, following a stop on his 2025 Asia tour. Fans who missed that show — or want to hear "Dried Flower" and his other hits performed live a second time — now have another chance. Full event and admission details are on the official AsiaWorld-Expo event page.

How to get to AsiaWorld-Expo
AsiaWorld-Expo has no MTR station of its own, but the Airport Express stops directly beneath the venue at AsiaWorld-Expo Station, one stop beyond the airport terminal — a roughly 25-minute ride from Hong Kong Station in Central. From the Airport Express platform, escalators lead straight up into the AsiaWorld-Expo concourse, just steps from Hall 10.
Coming from Tung Chung or the airport by road, look out for organiser shuttle-bus and taxi drop-off points sign-posted around the venue on the night. Given AsiaWorld-Expo's location on Lantau, it's worth building in extra travel time compared with a Hong Kong Island or Kowloon venue — especially for a Friday-night show.
Frequently Asked Questions
Insider tip
AsiaWorld-Expo sits beyond the airport on Lantau, so factor in at least 45–60 minutes' travel from Central via the Airport Express, plus queueing time for the escalators up from the platform — arriving right at doors-open avoids the worst of the Friday-night crowd crush.
