KOTORI will be making her first appearance on “SCHOOL OF LOCK!”, which will be broadcast on 38 TOKYO FM/JFN stations nationwide from 10pm on May 28th.
We will deliver live lessons with a band set from the music room to the whole country. Don’t miss this special live performance over the radio. We hope you will enjoy it on your nearest radio station.
The new album “KOTORI” will finally be released on May 29th. This self-titled work is their fourth full album and includes 11 songs, including “Himitsu”, written as the ending theme for the TV anime “Under Ninja”, “DAWN”, “Heartbeat”, and “Tokyo”, which were released digitally, and “Overdrive”, which has been selected as a power play for May on 21 radio stations nationwide. There are two versions, a CD+DVD version and a CD-only version, and the DVD will include a documentary of the tour finale, which was held on January 30th at Ebisu LIQUIDROOM in front of a packed house. The documentary footage also includes behind-the-scenes shots of the members on the day of the live performance, as well as a glimpse of the excitement on the floor during the main live performance.
In addition, the earliest pre-order of tickets enclosed in the album for the band’s festival “TORI ROCK FESTIVAL 2024,” which will be held for the first time in three years at CLUB CITTA’ Kawasaki for two days on October 29th and 30th, has also been decided.

KOTORI
A four-member band formed in Koshigaya, Saitama in 2014. They are affiliated with 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 it is the most important band 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!
