The Repray Tour (full title stylized as 'Yuzuru Hanyu ICE STORY 2nd →RE_PRAY← TOUR') was a solo ice show tour by Japanese figure skater and two-time Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu, organized by TV Asahi, CIC Co., Ltd., and Team Sirius. The tour initially consisted of three stops across Japan from November 2023 to February 2024 at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama City, Saga Arena in Saga City, and Pia Arena MM in Yokohama. Upon the commercial success of the first three stops, it was decided to add another two shows at Sekisui Heim Super Arena in Rifu, held in April 2024.
The Repray Tour is the first solo ice show tour in the sport of figure skating,[note 1] produced and directed by Yuzuru Hanyu in collaboration with choreographer Mikiko. It is part of the Yuzuru Hanyu Ice Story series and a sequel to Hanyu's solo show Gift at Tokyo Dome in 2023. Each show of the Repray Tour had a duration of 120 minutes and featured 12 different skating programs embedded into a story revolving around video games and the contrasts of virtual and real life. On the first day of the Miyagi tour stop, Hanyu completed a 2.5-hour solo show with no mistakes for the first time, performing at the athletic level of skating competitions, including six quadruple jumps and five triple Axels with 31⁄2 revolutions.
The tour was sold out on each day with a total attendance of 64,600 spectators. Four shows were screened live at cinemas in Japan and overseas, aired live on the subscription channel CS TV Asahi, and streamed on Beyond Live worldwide. Two documentaries of the show were broadcast by TV Asahi on January 7 and May 5, 2024. The tour was sponsored by Tōwa Pharmaceutical and Phiten, with the first three tour stops receiving additional sponsorship by Kosé's skin care brand Sekkisei.
