Phantom Siita have just announced their first world tour!
Produced by Japanese icon and superstar Ado, and known for their retro horror concept, the 5-piece idol group will move to begin their first world tour "Moth to a Flame" just over six months after their debut!
The tour will kick off in January 2025 in Taipei, and will follow in an ambitious venture spanning 15 cities across Asia, North America, and Europe.
The tour acts as an opportunity for the young stars to showcase their chilling talents through their debut album "Girlhood Memories" to the world, after finding much success in Japan. Their debut single "Otomodachi" was featured on Spotify’s Idol Pop Japan playlist cover, with their 2nd single "Just wanna XXXX with you" surpassing 1 million views in less than a month, and gaining global attention.
“Our first world tour ‘Moth to a flame’ has been announced. While this is a venture into the unknown for us, we hope to reach everyone around the world who always supports us. We’re excited to showcase our ‘retro horror’ style to you all.”

Phantom Siita also appeared as the opening act for Ado’s nationwide arena tour Ado JAPAN TOUR 2024 ‘Profile of Mona Lisa’ across major Japanese cities, before moving onto their first solo concert Phantom Siita 1st LIVE 2024 ‘Haine’ in November at the legendary Nippon Budokan.
While a world tour for such a new group seems fairly ambitious, group producer Ado seems to think otherwise, stating that that such a "bold" beginning is suited to the group
“Phantom Siita’s 1st world tour has been announced. I think it’s quite rare for a group’s first tour to be a world tour, both as idols and as artists. The title, “Moth to a flame,” is the English equivalent of the Japanese saying “飛んで火に入る夏の虫” (like a moth to a flame).
Some might draw a parallel between its meaning of knowingly stepping into danger and the group’s current situation, but Phantom Siita is the kind of true idol group that fans can’t help but reach out to, even knowing the risks. So perhaps the one flying into the flame is you, watching from the other side of the screen.
Please look forward to their bold and unconventional beginning of their artistry.”
- Ado
Although some may consider it risky for the group to take on the world stage less than a year after their debut, the title reflects the idea that, even knowing of the potential risks, fans are still drawn to Phantom Siita, like moths to a flame.
