Tone: Live Tour 2012 (stylized as Tohohsinki Live Tour 2012 ~TONE~), also known as the Tone Tour, was the fifth Japanese concert tour (eighth overall) by South Korean pop group Tohoshinki, in support of their fifth Japanese studio album Tone (2011). The Tone Tour was Tohoshinki's first concert in three years, and the first tour by the group since becoming a two-piece band with members Yunho and Changmin.

The tour ran for 26 shows, visiting ten cities in Japan. According to S.M.
