It will change in one week of time with the opening of the Japanese Fan club.
While waiting, why not speculate about something, as we are used to ?

I looked to the 'Beyond' tracks list and I wonder which of the songs will be sung on stage in the coming Japan tour, in less than 6 weeks.
The track list in alphabetical order is this, including the DVD songs :
- Ave Maria (Caccini)
- Ave Maria (RP)
- Benedictus Deus
- Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
- For the Future
- In Paradisum
- Lacrymosa
- Mother of God
- Salve Regina
- Sanctus
- The Prayer
- Voca Me
I guess the chances for these songs to be sung on stage is :
- 100% : Ave Maria (RP), For the Future, In Paradisum, Sanctus, The Prayer, Voca Me
- 50% : Lacrymosa
- 5% : Ave Maria (Caccini), Benedictus Deus, Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep, Mother of God, Salve Regina
Easy guess for the 6 firsts, it is just obvious.
'For the Future' will most probably have its première reserved for Japan.
I mean, although the concert in Westminster Cathedral and the Japan tour will likely share quite the same songs, the new song fully in Japanese can be sung only but in Japan for the first time.
There is a precedent : the song 'Angel' had its première reserved for Japan, it was first sung at the USJ Park in Osaka in the 2015 Summer, and was not sung in UK Christchurch and Exeter despite these concerts being just one week before the Japan tour.
For 'Lacrymosa' I'm not sure. The song was not sung recently but they made a video of it and put it on the DVD that comes with the Japanese edition of 'Beyond', so I guess it might be in the set list.
I don't think the last 5 songs will be sung on stage, although I'd love them to be.
There is already the 'Ave Maria' RP version sung in concert. Do you think Robert may choose to replace it by the Caccini version ? Or to have both Ave Maria sung during the same concert ? It seems unlikely to me.
what are your predictions for the "'Beyond's' songs?
