The first concert are scheduled at Seoul, South Korea starting mid-February.[1] And at the same time, Kara will embark their very first Japan Nationwide concert starting at Yokohama, sharing the same tour name as their Asia tour.[2] The tour was also planned to have dates in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and others, but this never came to fruition.[3]

The 2012 tour concluded on May 27, at Saitama, Japan. The tour drew around 150 thousand people with every single seat sold for each concert. The last concert was broadcast live through streaming in 60 different theaters throughout Japan, and all the tickets to the theaters were sold out as well.[4] All solo songs that the girls performed in the Japanese tour was released on the album Kara Collection in September 5, 2012.

In January 6, 2013 the group made a special concert in Japan's Tokyo Dome, titled KARASIA 2013 – Happy New Year in Tokyo Dome, making them the first female South Korean act to hold a concert at this particular venue.[5]

A second tour, also titled KARASIA, started in Japan on October 8, 2013, which was the last with members Nicole and Jiyoung, as they departed from the group after the second tour's completion. The group then embarked on their third Japanese tour on October 24, 2014, their first with new member Youngji. A fourth KARASIA Japanese tour took place in September 2015 and was the group's final tour before their disbandment in January 2016.
