Since his solo major debut in 2020, four EPs have made it into the Oricon Weekly Top 10, and his long-awaited first full-length album was released last year. In May of this year, the song “Shingetsu” produced by TETSUYA (L’Arc-en-Ciel) was released, and in November, the 5th EP “Toutou” and live Blu-ray “TOMORI KUSUNOKI BIRTHDAY LIVE 2023″ back to “back” was released at the same time. As a voice actor, Kusunoki is a voice actor and singer-songwriter who is attracting attention both as an artist and a voice actor, having voiced popular titles such as Makima in “Chainsaw Man” and Ren in “Sword Art Online Alternative Gun Gale Online”. Tomori.
To commemorate her 25th birthday, the birthday live “TOMORI KUSUNOKI BIRTHDAY LIVE 2024 -Toro-” was held at Yokohama BUNTAI in Kanagawa Prefecture on December 22nd (Sunday), the day of Tomori Kusunoki’s birthday.
The title of this live show is a combination of his 5th EP “Toutsu” released in November and his own name “Tomori”, and represents the relationship of trust he has cultivated with fans since the start of his major activities. Below, it has the meaning of “expressing myself as I am”.
The live performance started with “Romanron,” which includes the phrase “My fire, light.” The performance included a mix of old and new setlists, including the indie-era song “Clover” and the latest song “Kazazen no Toubi,” as well as an impressive performance using large LED lights. During the acoustic part, there were special performances such as guitar playing and singing. It was a birthday live.
During the encore, information was announced about Tomori Kusunoki’s first band event “TOMORI FES.” to be held next March, and the Zepp tour scheduled to be held next summer. Please look forward to the next report on what kind of performance it will be.
We can’t take our eyes off her as she takes on new challenges one after another and leaps onto a bigger stage.
