Fuuto Nozomi will release his first album "Smile Place" this summer! 10 songs to help you stand in the ring with a smile!

Top musical actress Nozomi Fuuto will release his first major album “A Place of Smiles” on August 28th.

In addition to “Breath,” a song provided by Angela Aki, released in March, the album also includes “Michishirube” by GRe4N BOYZ, who changed their name from GReeeeN in 2024. All songs are produced by Takebe Satoshi. Titled “10 songs to help you stand in the ring with a smile,” Nozomi Futo will be the listener’s second, making the ring of life a place of smiles…10 J-POP songs that will be weapons to help you stand in the ring with a smile. It looks like a work where you can enjoy his overwhelming singing ability. In August, a fan club member-only event will be held at Zepp in Tokyo and Osaka.

Fuuto Nozomi was a top star in the Takarazuka Revue’s Snow Troupe until he retired in 2021. He has been gaining popularity since turning into a musical actress, starring in many productions, and winning the Outstanding Actress Award at the 30th Yomiuri Theater Awards in 2022. He starred in a succession of major productions, including “Dreamgirls” in 2023 and “Isabeau” in 2024. The Tokyo performance of “Moulin Rouge! The Musical,” in which he will star, will begin on June 20th. He has also been confirmed to star in the musical “Next to Normal” at the end of the year.

Comment from Fuuto Nozomi

In the spring, I released “Breath,” a song written by Angela Aki that expresses all of my feelings.

I wrote “Breath” as a song to encourage people who are living their lives to the fullest in the present, so that they could take a breather, but before I knew it, it had become an important song for me as well, one that helps me “return to my true self.”

As we were deciding on the songs to include on the album based on the feelings we put into “Breath,” we were delighted to receive a new song from GRe4N BOYZ called “Michishirube.”

“Michishirube” shines the spotlight not only on me the singer, but on each and every one of you who listens to it, looking back on each stage while thinking about the future, and is filled with nostalgia, anticipation, and sparkle, making it a song that is sure to lift your spirits.

In addition to these two songs, under the production of Takebe Satoshi, we have selected and covered songs that can bring smiles to everyone’s faces as they struggle with various things every day.

I would be delighted if this album could become a “place of smiles” that brightens up your days.
