KOTORI has released a new artist photo of the three-member group. On July 13th, they held the final show of their sold-out album tour “Japanese Super Perfect Tour” in Sapporo, and on this day, drummer Chihiro Hosokawa left the band, making it their last live show as a four-member group. From now on, they will continue to work as a trio with Yuya Yokoyama (Vo./Gt.), Tomoki Sato (Ba.) and Hitoshi Uesaka (Gt./Cho.) on support drums. They are scheduled to appear at large festivals all over the country, so please look forward to it.
With their new album “KOTORI”, they have also decided to hold additional local tours, starting with a performance in Kanazawa on August 8th, and will be held in six cities. All performances will be two-man live shows, featuring ANORAK!, ENTH, Sunao, Hitohira, and Maki. The performances in Koriyama and Utsunomiya have already sold out, and there are only a few tickets left for some performances, so be sure to check early.
The band’s first festival in three years, “TORI ROCK FESTIVAL 2024,” will be held at CLUB CITTA’ Kawasaki for two days on October 29th and 30th. Details such as performers will be announced soon.
The vinyl version of the new album “KOTORI”, which was pre-sold at the “Japanese Super Perfect Tour” venue, will be available for general sale from July 17th. It will be available in limited quantities. The pre-sale has been very popular, so please be sure to purchase it as soon as possible.

Formed in Koshigaya, Saitama in 2014. Belongs to the small indies table.
The emotional singing voice of Yuya Yokoyama (Vo/Gt), who delicately writes about everyday life and shouts loudly, and the strong rhythm create a vivid and outstanding performance, and the rock sound that overwhelms the floor continues to ring out. KOTORI’s music, whose songs resonate endlessly and are sung by the audience, is now in 2023, and is one of the most important bands in the band scene that can resonate greatly with the same generation.
In July 2023, they will perform at the FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL ’23 for the third time. The RED MARQUEE stage ended with great success. In September, they held a tour to release their EP “Good Luck” with 27 performances in 25 cities nationwide. The performances were sold out in each area.
In 2024, they will release their fourth new album “KOTORI” on May 29th and hold an album tour in eight cities starting at Shibuya O-EAST on June 18th. They will also appear at major festivals around the country, such as TRIANGLE 2024, ARABAKI ROCK FEST.24, CRAFTROCK FESTIVAL ’24, CAMPASS 2024, Mori, Michi, Ichiba 2024, YON FES, and Lucky Fes!
