Kapuso real-life couple Julie Anne San Jose and Rayver Cruz excite fans with the star-studded roster of Sparkle World Tour 2024.

The talented duo will kick off their tour in the USA on August 9 and 10, alongside fellow Sparkle stars Alden Richards, Ai Ai Delas Alas, Isko Moreno, and Boobay. They will also connect with Pinoy fans in Japan on September 1, joined by Ruru Madrid, Bianca Umali, Jillian Ward, Ken Chan, Betong Sumaya, and special guest Ms. Divine Daldal.

At a recent grand media conference, the Kapuso couple expressed their enthusiasm about meeting fans abroad.

The Asia's Limitless Star revealed that she personally selected the songs they will perform, emphasizing her dedication to their global fanbase.

" For me, it's really important that we're hands-on doon sa mismong repertoire o 'yung mga songs na kakantahin namin. Ako personally, I chose 'yung mga talagang nalalapit sa puso ko, especially napakainit kasi ng pagtanggap sa atin ng mga Global Pinoys saang lupalop ng mundo," she explained.

Julie Anne also looks forward to bringing a piece of the Philippines to Filipinos abroad, acknowledging their longing for a taste of home.

"So ako sobrang excited talaga ako whenever I performed for our fellow kababayans abroad, kasi gusto ko na nadadala ko 'yung Pilipinas sa kanila," she shared.

Rayver emphasized the importance of selecting OPM songs that resonate with Kapuso fans overseas, ensuring their connection with Filipino culture is felt.

"Syempre importante rin for me 'yung songs na pipiliin sa mga connected with the people sa abroad, mga Global Pinoys natin. Kasi iba 'yung nandito sa Pilipinas, iba 'yung mga Kapuso natin doon, especially na excited sila na makasama kami doon. Talagang hands-on and more sa OPM side na iyon, para dinadala mo 'yung Pilipinas papunta sa ibang lugar," he shared.

The Kapuso actor also assured fans that their production numbers, especially his duets with Julie Anne, will be a hit.

"I think solid ang mga prod numbers especially kapag may duet kami ni Juls kasi hands-on si Juls kapag may duets kami," he said.

In addition to their tour, Julie Anne and Rayver can be seen on GMA's weekend musical comedy variety show, All Out Sundays, and are gearing up for the highly anticipated GMA Gala 2024.
