Kihara Rui has played Kiramei Yellow/Imizu Tametomo in the 2020 Super Sentai series “Mashin Sentai Kiramager”, and has performed as “Heshikiri Hasebe” in the musical “Touken Ranbu”, and has been active as an actor this year, starring in “Kurosaki Ichigo” in “ROCK MUSICAL BLEACH”. In March, Kihara, who has been active as an artist with a successful solo concert at Yokohama 1000 Club, released information about the release of his new song and solo concert.
Kihara Rui played the role of Kiramei Yellow/Imizu Tametomo in the Super Sentai series “Mashin Sentai Kiramager,” which has gained popularity among a wide range of people, from children to parents’ generations. Recently, he played the role of Heshikiri Hasebe in the musical Touken Ranbu, and Kurosaki Ichigo in the role of ROCK MUSICAL BLEACH, and has been recognized for his achievements in the musical world, including appearing in his first Toho musical, GIRLFRIEND. As an artist, he wrote the lyrics himself and released nine collaborative songs with various creators, resulting in a total of over 3 million views. There are also high expectations for her as a singer, including the success of the solo live YELL held at Yokohama 1000 Club this month.
Kihara has released two pieces of information.
The first is the release of the new song “Kurogane.” This song was performed for the first time at a solo live performance in March and attracted fans’ cheers from the intro, and was co-written with Vocaloid P’s “Ichijisan.” Ichifusa, who established herself as a Vocaloid P with her Japanese instrument rock songs, has not only been recognized for her activities as a Vocaloid P, with her signature song “Flowering Flowers Falling,” which has surpassed 10 million views on YouTube, but also for providing songs to singers and Vtubers. The dramatic and emotional melody line, which is Ichiba, is incorporated into the sound of a heavy Japanese instrument guitar rock, and the lyrics are poetic in collaboration with Kihara and Ichiba, which express “strength and determination.” Music Video will be released at a later date.
The second is the solo live performance “DREAM HIGHWAY.” His first hall live performance at Otemachi Mitsui Hall will be performed as a full set, including a band set and a dancer. We are also scheduled to perform “Kurogane,” which was released today, so we can’t wait to see what kind of live performance will be. Artist photos have also been updated to coincide with the live performance. The key visual is also worth noting that the playfulness of the 27 Kihara Rui, who is likened to Kihara, who is 27 years old, is being placed in the theater. Part 2 will be held as a birthday event as Kihara’s birthday is also Kihara’s birthday on the day of the event. I hope you will come to Otemachi Mitsui Hall to celebrate your birthday.
◆Comment from Kihara Rui
This time’s song, Kurogane, features Vocaloid P’s Ichifusa, who has introduced me to Japanese instrument rock, as I protect and fight every day. Please listen to my determination to take on stage as Kihara Ruo.
This song was first performed at a solo live performance in March, and is finally being released, so I’m happy that it will be delivered to fans who have been looking forward to it, and it is also a song that is a way to express my intentions as a hero, so I would like to share it with many people.
Please look forward to the solo concert in September.
◆Comment from Ichi-ni-san
I wrote a song called “Kurogane” with the theme of “inner strength that no one can see.”
I tried to express the strength of a person’s mental strength, being influenced by his powerful performance and singing that I had seen at a live performance.
In addition, the delicateness that is also possessed is expressed through Japanese musical instruments.
Please enjoy Japanese guitar rock with Kihara’s heart-warming voice! !
