Tour

A supporting tour for the album, Help Ever Hall Tour, started on December 25, 2020, and ran until January 31, 2021. It was Fujii's first national tour. Tickets for this tour were in the form of advance applications using the serial code included with the album, and lottery applications for general sales were accepted from November 9. In addition, for performances held after January 2021, official ticket trading was carried out at Chikepla Trade.
