Awkmiu, a band that performed at “SUMMER SONIC 2023” in Osaka, is known for its new yet nostalgic sound and lyrics that sharply capture everyday life.
It has been decided that the piano trio band “Omoinotake” will appear as a guest at the Tokyo performance (Daikanyama UNIT) of the Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka tour starting in May.
The theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama “Eye Love You”, “Ichibillion Light Years”, is becoming a hot topic of discussion.
Awkmiu’s Shiki (Vo) and Omoinotake’s Reo Fujii (Vo & Key) performed together at an event held in November last year, which led to the realization of this pairing.
The title of this tour is “Awkmiu LIVE TOUR “HEKIREKI””, which will be held in support of the EP “Sado Sora no Aoi Sa wo Kiru” released on March 20th (Wednesday).
HEKIREKI means thunder or a loud sound that echoes, and the tour name incorporates the wish that “a strong light may reach you wherever you are.”
May 3rd (Friday/holiday) Aichi / ell SIZE, May 18th (Saturday) Osaka / Minamihorie Knave will have a one-man live, May 31st (Friday) Tokyo / Daikanyama UNIT will have a two-man live with Omoinotake. Become.

■Awkmiu profile
Awkmiu is a 4-piece band consisting of Shiki (Vocal & Guitar), Aki (Keyboard), Kayakenko (Bass), and Yoneya Sekine (Drums).
We present the current status of “Solid Pops” with the solid sound created by the overlapping colors of each member and the world of Shiki’s lyrics, which capture daily life in a sharp and cinematic way. Despite the newness, there is a sense of fundamental nostalgia, and the songs contain conflicting essences such as boy and girl, danger and cleverness.
The band’s name is a coined word that is a combination of the English word awkward (awkward) and the French word mieux (better), and reflects the band’s desire to “deliver better music even though it’s clumsy.”
