Kito Akari’s second mini album “Give Me Five!”, commemorating the fifth anniversary of her career as an artist, was released on August 28th, and the music video for the lead track “Canvas” was released on her official YouTube channel.
The lyrics for “Canvas” were written by Kito himself, and the music and arrangement were handled by Shota Horie (PENGUIN RESEARCH). It’s a song of encouragement that looks back on the 5th anniversary while also giving a sense of moving forward into the future.
Also, from 6pm on August 28th, the song “Give Me Five!” from the 2nd mini album will be available.
The official audio for “Aokoma Ao”, “FLAMES”, “Rock the Floor” and “Unchained Mind” will be released. Aiming to be lead tracks for all songs, this work was created with the participation of a group of talented artists with the theme of a sense of speed and exhilaration that will liven up the live performance.
It will be released in two versions, the first limited edition and the regular edition, and the jacket photo is scattered with yellow neon for the first limited edition and orange neon decorations for the regular edition, so you can enjoy the different atmospheres of each. In addition, original benefits for each company have also been announced, so be sure to check them out.
Furthermore, Akari Kito’s 5th Anniversary LIVE “All Light!” will be held. It will be a two-day concert at Westa Kawagoe in Saitama Prefecture on November 2nd and 3rd, and at Cart Kanagawa Arts Theatre in Kanagawa Prefecture on November 23rd and 24th. On both Days 1 and 2, she will perform all of her previous songs under the name “Akari Kito.”
A ticket priority sales application form will be included as a common bonus for both the first limited edition and the regular edition, so we encourage anyone who purchases the CD to apply for one.
