Japan leg of the tour

[Mr. Holland]

No. An acoustic segment is advertised for the 12 Sep show and as something different from these earlier shows.

Ah, oké. Well curious then to what it will be. Perhaps the promoter/venue demanded popular songs like Owner (happened in 2003) and ISAGP and they will perform those acoustic.

Would be cool if they played a one-off Relayer show for the Japanese fans. They should at least get a bonus track. ;-)

Well it turns out the acoustic segment is indeed Howe's solo....😉

Second night same setlist as the first night, except that Howe's solo was "The Clap".

[Mr. Holland]

Where's the original text? Often it turns out things get lost/different in translation. The acoustic segment could be Howe's solo for instance. Yes isn't exactly known to suddenly changing their setlist for one night.

Future Memories, Sister Sleeping Soul, or Minus The Man. C'mon, guys!

A pity about Dare To Know, that was a highlight when I seen them in Birmingham!

[soundchaser09]

good setlist, was hoping they might try another from the Quest live, maybe Westren Edge or Leave Well Alone. I can understand them dropping Dare to Know, the vocals clearly needed some work.

[Ash Armstrong]

Are they playing with a support?

[Mr. Holland]

Accordin' to setlist.fm the openin' song on the 5th was YIND. Repeat. YIND. Not OTSWOF.

No more info currently available.

Apparantly not.

According to an attendee on twitter, the setlist was:

- Alan White tribute (to excerpts of Turn of the Century)
- Firebird Suite
- On the Silent Wings of Freedom
- Yours is No Disgrace
- Does it Really Happen
- Steve solo: To be Over
- Wonderous Stories
- The Ice Bridge
- Heart of the Sunrise

Intermission

- Close to the Edge
- And You And I
- Siberian Kathru
Encores:
- Roundabout
- Starship Trooper

So No Opportunity Necessary No Experience Needed and Dare to Know where omitted compared to the UK tour.

The poster on twitter said his impression was this was all about the promoter and the venue.

Yeah I see it now. "An acoustic interlude" it says in translation.

Japan is a wonderful place to visit and I would love to go there in the fall to see Yes especially since it is looking MORE likely every day they are not touring here in The Americas in 2022. Hopefully they make good audio and video recordings of these shows.

It's pretty clear they're promising something different, although precisely what or how much is not specified.
