BoA joined a list of A-cast celebrities at the SM Town Live World Tour in Tokyo Special Edition on Sunday.

SM had originally planned to stage a single show in Tokyo, but surging demand for tickets led the agency to revise its schedule and line up three concerts over two days last weekend.

BoA, who celebrates her 10th year in the business this year, took to the stage along with stars such as Girls' Generation, Super Junior and f(x) as the K-pop bands of SM Entertainment thrilled 50,000 Japanese fans with their lyrics, melodies and dance moves.

All three shows were sold out, the agency said. A total of 36 singers from 11 bands made up the four-hour show.

The SM Town Live World Tour kicked off in Seoul in August 2010 and will draw to a close on Oct. 23 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
