Korean duo TVXQ will hold a fan event in Japan in November to celebrate the release of their upcoming Japanese album "TONE."

According to the boys' official Japanese website on Tuesday, TVXQ will hold a series of fan events for "TONE," set for release tomorrow, starting at the Grand Cube Osaka in Osaka on November 1 and the Tokyo International Forum in Tokyo two days later.

The boys are also set to hold their nationwide tour in Japan titled "TVXQ LIVE TOUR 2012~ TONE~" for three months starting January 2012 where they will hold a total of 14 shows in nine cities.

They will perform for a series of shows in Yokohama, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Niigata, Sapporo, Fukui, Osaka and Tokyo till March 2012.

"TONE" is also their first Japanese release as a duo since parting with former members Jaejoong, Yuchun and Junsu after the three halted their activities as TVXQ due to the unfairness of their 13-year exclusive contract with SM Entertainment.

TVXQ celebrated their return to the local music scene with their album "Why (Keep Your Head Down)," which was released earlier this year, scoring the top prize on various televised music programs and taking over a number of online music charts.
