Akase Akari is a popular TikToker with over 1.4 million followers. She is in charge of the insert song “Itsuka Kanaeta Kutakute” for the Saturday drama “Hanasaki Mai ga Damattenai” that aired on Nippon Television from April. The music video released has already exceeded 1.1 million views, and she is currently a hot topic. Yesterday, 6/26 (Wednesday), her long-awaited second single “Itsuka Kanaeta Kutakute” was released, and a release event to commemorate the release of the single was held at Yoani LIVE STATION.
The release event held yesterday featured a mini live concert and talk show for CD purchasers, as well as a talk session afterwards, making it a rare event for fans, and the venue was extremely lively.
Wearing a white dress, Akase Akari sang the ballad “Itsuka Kanaeta Kutakute” (an insert song for the Saturday drama “Hanasaki Mai ga Damattenai” on Nippon Television), the first song for which she wrote the lyrics, in a soft and emotional manner. She also performed her new song “Ima ga Kiss Me!”, written and composed by hit maker Tsukada Kohei, which is included as a B-side on the single, as a sparkling, up-tempo number depicting innocent love, complete with cute dancing, in contrast to the slow-tempo ballad title track, and the venue was filled with loud cheers.
Furthermore, during the talk show, there was a segment called “Akase Akari is cheering you on! I want to make your dreams come true someday!” in which fans in attendance were asked to write supporting comments on colored paper and give them as gifts, and there was also a segment called “Akase Akari’s Try Me Now!” in which Akase Akari tried to tackle challenges posed by the fans, including the “Kendama One-Shot Success Challenge,” the “Blackbeard 10-Second Challenge,” in which fans had to point a sword at Blackbeard’s barrel and knock Blackbeard flying within 10 seconds to complete the challenge, and a “Tongue Twister Challenge,” which got the audience excited and everyone was united in the excitement.
The release event has been announced to be held today, June 27th (Thursday) at the HMV&BOOKS SHIBUYA 5F Event Space (autograph session), and on the weekend, June 30th (Sunday), at the Tower Records Nagoya Parco store in Aichi, Akase Akari’s hometown, in the in-store event space (talk show and autograph session).
Anyone who purchases the single can participate in this event, so if you’re interested, be sure to check out the information about this valuable event and come along to the release event. Details of the event can be found on the official website. (https://www.sp-1.tokyo/pages/4787640/biography)
