The '''Harajuku Lovers Tour''' was the first solo concert tour of American recording artist Gwen Stefani. The tour began through October to December 2005, to support of her debut studio album ''Love. Angel. Music. Baby.'' (2004). Although Stefani embarked on multiple tours with her band No Doubt, she initially opted not to participate in a tour to promote her album, an attitude that the singer eventually abandoned due to the commercial success of ''Love. Angel. Music. Baby.''
The tour consisted of only one leg, which encompassed a three-month-long series of performances that visited cities throughout the United States and Canada. Stefani recruited hip hop group The Black Eyed Peas, rapper M.I.A., and singer Ciara to accompany her as opening acts for her endeavors. The tour produced varying responses from contemporary critics, who despite praising Stefani's vocals, were critical of other aspects of the show such as its musical material.
A video album, titled ''Harajuku Lovers Live'', was released in DVD format in conjunction with her 2006 album ''The Sweet Escape'' and features the singer performing at the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim, California, Stefani's birthplace.
According to ''Billboard'', the tour grossed $22 million from 37 concerts, from which 20 sold-out.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003467493 |title=Gwen Stefani Unveils Solo Tour Dates |last1=Cohen |first1=Jonathan |date=December 1, 2006 |magazine=Billboard |publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc. |access-date=January 29, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061202184303/http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003467493 |archive-date=December 2, 2006}}</ref>

==Concert synopsis== thumb|upright|200px|Stefani performing "Serious", a song that was originally played as an encore following "Hollaback Girl". Stefani opened the show with the song "Harajuku Girls", an ode to Harajuku, the fashion district of Tokyo, Japan.<ref name="winnipegsun"/><ref name="mtvreview"/><ref name="edmontonsun"/><ref name="torontosun"/> She appeared on stage wearing a tiara and baby doll outfit,<ref name="winnipegsun"/> sitting in the red velvet and gold throne from the cover of the album.<ref name="mtvreview"/> and surrounded by her backing dancers, also called the Harajuku Girls, while video images of Harajuku itself played on screens behind her.<ref name="nytreview"/> Her second song was the first single from the album, "What You Waiting For?",<ref name="winnipegsun"/> which she began as a ballad before bringing it up to its usual pace.<ref name="mtvreview"/> Stefani and the Harajuku Girls then left the stage to change into one-piece bathing suits while her band continued to play, before returning to perform "The Real Thing".<ref name="winnipegsun"/><ref name="torontosun"/> A group of four breakdancers came on stage to perform while Stefani left the stage again to change into a black-and-white leather tracksuit.<ref name="winnipegsun"/> For the next song, the album's sixth single "Crash", the audience was then divided into male and female halves and, as images of a car hood bouncing to the beat were broadcast, each half took turns to sing the lyric "back it up, back it up".<ref name="mtvreview"/><ref name="torontosun"/> Stefani then performed the fourth single from the album, "Luxurious".<ref name="torontosun"/>
Stefani changed outfits again into a pair of black hot pants to perform "Rich Girl", the album's second single,<ref name="edmontonsun"/> while walking along a catwalk into the crowd and giving fans high-fives.<ref name="mtvreview"/> She then sang "Danger Zone" and "Long Way to Go", both intimate songs,<ref name="mtvreview"/> before performing two new songs back-to-back: "Wind It Up", which would become the first single from her second album ''The Sweet Escape'', and "Orange County Girl".<ref name="torontosun"/> "Wind It Up" was performed with a carnival vibe and "Orange County Girl" was accompanied by a video montage of childhood photos of Stefani and images of items mentioned in the song.<ref name="mtvreview"/> She changed into a silver sequinned cocktail dress for the fourth single from her first album, "Cool".<ref name="mtvreview"/><ref name="edmontonsun"/>
In early performances of the show, Stefani's next song was "Hollaback Girl", the album's third and best-selling single, performed in a drumming costume and singing with the audience. This was followed by an encore of "Serious" and "Bubble Pop Electric", for which Stefani was brought out in a stretcher by the Harajuku Girls.<ref name="mtvreview"/> However, in later performances, "Hollaback Girl" was saved for the encore and preceded by the two other songs.<ref name="winnipegsun"/><ref name="torontosun"/><ref name="soundspikereview"/>
==Critical response== Critics were divided with the Harajuku Lovers Tour. Patrick MacDonald of the ''Seattle Times'', while applauding Stefani's song-writing efforts and the show's "frothy fun" antics, reprimanded the singer's dancing and limited material, given that she performed only twelve songs from ''Love. Angel. Music. Baby.'' and two from ''The Sweet Escape'' but none from previous work with her band No Doubt.<ref name="seattletimes">{{cite web |url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/musicnightlife/2002629786_gwen18.html |title=Gwen Stefani: She sings!

Despite these objections, Williams issued her MTS Center performance a three-and-a-half out of five stars.<ref name="winnipegsun">{{cite web |url=http://jam.canoe.com/Music/Artists/S/Stefani_Gwen/ConcertReviews/2005/11/17/1310654.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170904070757/http://jam.canoe.com/Music/Artists/S/Stefani_Gwen/ConcertReviews/2005/11/17/1310654.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 4, 2017 |title=Concert Review: Stefani, Gwen, MTS Centre, Winnipeg - November 16, 2005 |last1=Williams |first1=Rob |date=November 17, 2005 |website=Jam! |publisher=Quebecor Inc. |access-date=January 23, 2011}}</ref> "But sometimes the music didn't matter when there was as much eye candy as Stefani provided", opined the ''Winnipeg Sun'' writer. "She is an extremely striking figure and the choreography, light show, backup dancers and frequent costume changes all added to the spectacle, which ended up being more style than substance."<ref name="winnipegsun"/>

Mike Ross of the ''Edmonton Sun'' was impressed with Stefani's ability to engage the audience, a quality that earned her the description of the "effervescent hostess" from the journalist. In his four star review for the concert, he commended the "swell" music and "amazing" choreography; "It also had merit as a choreographic tour-de-force—thanks in large part to a quartet each of talented dancing geisha girls and B-boys", remarked Ross.<ref name="edmontonsun"/> Stefani's different outfits and set pieces also won praise. "So you could have enjoyed last night's concert as a fashion show. Or a music video, sure", Ross concluded.<ref name="edmontonsun">{{cite web |url=http://jam.canoe.com/Music/Artists/S/Stefani_Gwen/ConcertReviews/2005/11/19/1313627.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160311224423/http://jam.canoe.com/Music/Artists/S/Stefani_Gwen/ConcertReviews/2005/11/19/1313627.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 11, 2016 |title=Concert Review: Stefani, Gwen, Rexall Place, Edmonton - November 18, 2005 |last1=Ross |first1=Mike |date=November 19, 2005 |website=Jam! |publisher=Quebecor Inc. |access-date=January 30, 2020}}</ref> Although she called Stefani the "new princess of pop" and praised the singer's charismatic presence during the show, Jane Stevenson of the ''Toronto Sun'' felt that the concert was "definitely of the lightweight variety in the music department" and noted that, although Stefani models herself after Madonna, she is "no real threat". She gave the concert three-and-a-half stars out of five.<ref name="torontosun">{{cite web |url=http://jam.canoe.com/Music/Artists/S/Stefani_Gwen/ConcertReviews/2005/12/10/1346779.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151125093334/http://jam.canoe.com/Music/Artists/S/Stefani_Gwen/ConcertReviews/2005/12/10/1346779.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=November 25, 2015 |title=Concert Review: Stefani, Gwen, Air Canada Centre, Toronto - December 9, 2005 |last1=Stevenson |first1=Jane |date=December 10, 2005 |website=Jam! |publisher=Quebecor Inc. |access-date=January 23, 2011}}</ref>
MTV's Corey Moss compared Stefani's performance to Madonna with regard to "the eight costume changes to the dancers to the theatrics to, hell, even the music itself" and avouched that she sounded completely different from how she did with No Doubt. Moss asserted that the No Doubt lead vocalist was the "most captivating thing onstage" with her "confident strut and dead-on vocals".<ref name="mtvreview">{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1512089/20051024/stefani_gwen.jhtml?headlines=true |title=Gwen Stefani Brings Solo Show To Hollywood 'Hometown' Crowd |last1=Moss |first1=Corey |date=October 24, 2005 |website=MTV News |publisher=MTV Networks |access-date=January 25, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060118134222/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1512089/20051024/stefani_gwen.jhtml?headlines=true |archive-date=January 18, 2006}}</ref> Jon Pareles of ''The New York Times'' admired the "glamour and groove" antics of the show and how Stefani "flaunt[ed] the perks of stardom". He praised her music, describing the album as "a smart [record], with honed rhythm tracks that flit from funk to pop, electronics to rock", although calling most tracks "superficial", being about "style", "success", "shopping" and "sex".<ref name="nytreview">{{cite web |url=http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/03/arts/music/03gwen.html?_r=1 |title=A Fashionista Singing About (What Else?)

Jim Harrison of ''LiveDaily'' affirmed that the tour lacked a strong musical setlist, and also felt that Stefani's stage presence was absent. He stated that she "doesn't have many songs that translate well in a live setting" from her album ''Love. Angel. Music. Baby.'' and suggested that she should have included songs by No Doubt for "much-needed shots of adrenaline" for the audience, who were, according to Harrison, "figuratively sitting on their hands and literally yawning four songs into the set".<ref name="soundspikereview"/> Harrison felt that Stefani seemed truly "lost on stage without a band", ultimately describing her performance as "[lacking in] energy", "lukewarm" and seemingly "on autopilot". Furthermore, the SoundSpike writer thought that her performance was akin to that of fellow American recording artist Britney Spears, which was "utterly unsuitable for both the song selection and her style". However, he did praise the rendition of "Hollaback Girl", calling it "great" and "Gwen being all Gwen can be", and called the breakdancing "pretty cool".<ref name="soundspikereview">{{cite web |url=http://www.livedaily.com/reviews/Live_Review_Gwen_Stefani_in_San_Jose_CA-8976.html?t=1 |title=Live Review: Gwen Stefani in San Jose, CA |last1=Harrington |first1=Jim |date=October 19, 2005 |website=LiveDaily |publisher=Ticketmaster Entertainment, Inc. |access-date=December 25, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051211042400/http://www.livedaily.com/reviews/Live_Review_Gwen_Stefani_in_San_Jose_CA-8976.html?t=1 |archive-date=December 11, 2005}}</ref>
