The release event will be held at four venues over three days starting on Saturday, September 21st! The solo live “Kotone Live 2025 – Growth Record” will be held in January 2025!
A live concert and release event have been scheduled to commemorate the release of the album “Growth Record ~Now & Best (2018-2024)~”, which will be the culmination of their 5th anniversary of activity and includes the theme song “Heaven” for the currently airing Saturday drama “Warau Lady” (broadcast nationwide on Tokai TV and Fuji TV every Saturday from 11:40 pm starting from July 27th).
Commemorative album for five years of activity “Growth Record ~Now & Best (2018-2024)~”
In addition to “Heaven,” the album contains a total of 16 songs, including numerous past tie-up numbers (such as “Kimi wa Ikiteru Desu ka,” an original number for the Monday 9pm drama “Night Doctor”), as well as new songs and unreleased songs that many have been eager to release.
It has been decided that she will hold a solo live concert to promote this album. The title is “Kotone Live 2025 – Growth Record-” and it will be held on January 19th at SUPERNOVA KAWASAKI in Kanagawa and NIIGATA LOTS in her hometown of Niigata. Just like the release, this will be a culmination of her work, so please look forward to it.
Prior to the live performance, an event to commemorate the CD release has also been scheduled!
The concerts will be held at the LINKS Plaza on the second floor of Yodobashi Camera Multimedia Umeda in Osaka on September 21, at the Central Fountain Plaza of LA CITTADELLA in Kawasaki, Kanagawa on September 23, and at the terrace of Tsutaya Bookstore Nagaoka Shinbo store and Tsutaya Niigata Bandai sharelounge in Niigata on October 5. Both will feature a free live performance and an autograph session for CD purchasers.
[Kotone’s comment]
This album is the culmination of my work over the past five years.
Including “Heaven” which is being released in advance, new songs that have been in production for over a year are also included. The past tie-up songs are also full of various connections, so I hope that those who have supported me until now will look back on their memories, and those who have recently met me will listen to this work as a self-introduction.
