Pearl Jam and its frontman Eddie Vedder are releasing two new CDs exclusively in Japan to celebrate Vedder's upcoming debut solo tour in the country. One CD is a reissue of Pearl Jam's 2003 live album recorded at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, while the other is an expanded edition of Vedder's 2022 solo album Earthling.
Why it matters
The Japan-exclusive CD releases highlight the continued popularity of Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder in the country, as well as the band's efforts to cater to their dedicated Japanese fanbase. The limited availability of the CDs outside of Japan also demonstrates the importance of the Japanese market for the band's global strategy.
The details
The Pearl Jam live album reissue includes performances of some of the band's biggest hits like 'Even Flow,' 'Alive,' 'Better Man,' 'Corduroy' and 'Daughter.' The expanded Earthling edition adds Vedder's 2020 Matter of Time EP and his 2024 covers of 'Room at the Top' by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and 'Save It for Later' by The English Beat. While the CDs will be Japan-exclusive, limited quantities will be available for pre-order by members of Pearl Jam's Ten Club fan community.
- Vedder's Japan tour kicks off in April 2026.
- Ohana Festival, founded by Vedder, will return to Dana Point, California on September 25-27, 2026.
