Singer-songwriter Yaida Hitomi has announced that she will be holding a request live performance by fan voting, “Yaida Hitomi 25th Anniversary Live Tour “25” as the second anniversary project for her 25th anniversary.
It will be held at Hulic Hall in Tokyo on Sunday, August 3rd, and at Osaka Sankei Hall Breise in Osaka on Saturday, August 16th.
The second installment, following the national singing and singing tour “GUITAR TO UTA,” the first project to be held on the 25th anniversary of his debut, is titled “25” (pronounced by two-five), and is a title full of musicianship that is typical of Yaida Hitomi, who has been facing music for 25 years with guitar as his partner.
The live theme is a requested live show with fan voting, and there is no doubt that it will be a passionate live performance that will accept the fans’ feelings along with the heartfelt band members who have supported Yaida Hitomi for 25 years. Fan voting is now open on the Yaida Hitomi official website until Wednesday, May 7th.
The fastest advance reservation for live tickets has begun at the official fan club “yaiko’s eye,” so I hope you will participate in the fan voting and spend a special time at the live venue.
In addition, a new visual has been released to mark the 25th anniversary of her debut. With photographer Hirano Kazuho, who is active in a wide range of fields, including advertising and musician artwork, his gaze that looks straight ahead with a cute, mature, masculine styling in the background with a clear sky, depicts Yaida Hitomi, a woman who lives a strong and supple life in this day and age.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of her debut, and we are planning to continue to offer various anniversary events in the future, and starting today, U-NEXT will be broadcast exclusively on “ONLY ON” live streaming of the first special feature to commemorate the 25th anniversary of her debut, “Yaida Hitomi Singing Tour ~ GUITAR TO UTA 24-25 Billboard Live Special ~” on U-NEXT. U-NEXT is currently streaming past live footage and music videos. Please check this out as well in preparation for the requested live performance.

■As for the “Yaida Hitomi 25th Anniversary Live Tour “25””
I would like to repay all the energy I gained from the national singing and singing tour to summer band driving and release it all. It’s now 25th anniversary, when we have learned the importance and hardship of “continuing” that we are even happier than ever to be able to make sounds with our well-known members.
I’m really looking forward to seeing what requests will come.
I’m still going all out! Please come and see us!

He continued to send out numerous hit songs and actively performed live shows, holding nationwide tours and performing events. In addition, along with domestic activities, he also released it on the UK label, achieving a successful UK tour.

On July 12th, the company celebrated its 20th anniversary and released “Your STORY,” which was born amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The song, written based on messages from the public, has been featured on Music Video in various media such as the web, television, and radio, with an essential worker working in Yaida Hitomi’s hometown of Osaka, and has become a hot topic.
On the usual “August 15th = Yaiko’s Day,” he held his first live broadcast without an audience, and was a success.
In October, they released their 11th original album, “Sharing,” for the first time in four years. In the same month, to commemorate the release of the album, Yaida Hitomi 20th Anniversary Release Live “Sharing” was held in a “hybrid” format with audiences and live streaming.
▶In June 2021, we digitally released “I’m Watching By Soba,” a commercial song for Imuraya’s long-selling product “Azuki Bar,” which has been a hot topic as a commercial song for the long-selling product “Azuki Bar,” which marks its 48th anniversary. In the same year, he began with his first solo performance in Billboard Live in April, followed by a singing performance in Tokyo in July, a performance in which he performed in Tokyo for the first time in four years in his hometown of Osaka on August 15th, and his first Christmas live performance in December, all in a different format, making it a success.

In August, they released two digital releases of “Komazawa Park” and “You Like a Flower,” and on September 7th they released their long-awaited original album, “All Light,” their first 12th in two years. A live concert will be held in Tokyo and Osaka with the album in commemoration.
