Irino Jiyu, who has appeared in numerous popular anime and stage plays, will restart his solo artistic career.
The new label will be transferred to Nippon Columbia, and will release his first single, “Who I Am” on July 30, 2025, and will hold his first talk event, “Irino Jiyu Talk & Mini Live 2025 Summer,” at Nissho Hall in Tokyo on Sunday, August 10th.
This single will include three songs, including the lead “Who I Am,” provided by TAIL (Mukui Taichi), who has worked on numerous songs in the past, as well as a luxurious album with a radio DJ talk CD (tentative). His new artist visual has also been released.
Irino commented, “33 years in the entertainment industry. Have you come this far? No, I’m still from here, so I’ll believe in my potential and deceive it.”
In addition, at his first talk event, he plans to have a very impressive content, including a corner that is in the summer when it was held, and a live part where he will be the first to perform his latest singles.
In addition, a “CD advance reservation (lottery)” has been decided to be held for those who make a reservation at the Columbia Music Shop!
A serial code for applying for the advance CD reservation lottery will be distributed to those who reserve “Who I Am” at the Columbia Music Shop by Sunday, June 1st.
Make sure to come and create summer memories.
A music teaser site, official YouTube channel, and official X have been opened in conjunction with the announcement.
The program will be updated in the future, focusing on artist activity information, so please follow each social media and look forward to more news.
In addition, a release event will be held on Saturday, August 9th to commemorate the release of the first single from his transfer.
Early reservation benefits have also been released, so check the website for details. We can’t take our eyes off his new challenges in musical activities.
■Irino Yuuyu’s comment
The day has finally arrived to make an announcement. It’s a restart!
He has been in the entertainment industry for 33 years. Have you come this far already?
No, it’s still a long way from here, and I believe in my own possibilities and deceive them.
There are so many things I want to do.
I’m really looking forward to seeing what kind of people and what kind of works I’ll be able to find in the future.
