Misia Candle Night 2016 was a concert tour by Japanese singer Misia and the fifth installment of the Misia Candle Night concert series. The two-date tour was held in collaboration with the World Heritage Theater project on September 10-11, 2016 at Kasuga-taisha in Nara, Nara to commemorate the Shinto shrine and World Heritage Site's 60th anniversary and the first Shikinen Zōtai (式年造替) ritual in 20 years.[1]

Background

On June 6, 2016, Misia announced the two dates for the 2016 installment of the Misia Candle Night concert series.[2] The concerts announced to be held on a special outdoor stage on the Tobihino (飛火野) hill of the Nara Park, where the Kasuga Shrine is located.[2] On June 20, 2016, Michiko Shimizu was announced as a special guest for the two-date tour.[3] Tickets went on sale to the general public on August 20, 2016.[4] The charity Candle Night Bar, whose proceeds go toward the non-profit organization Mudef, raised funds of 441,401 yen for the two shows combined.[5]
