Live report from Akari Kito's 1st LIVE TOUR "Colorful Closet" Osaka concert
*Original text

Voice actress and artist Akari Kito held her 1st LIVE TOUR "Colorful Closet" in Osaka on September 27 (Sun.), 2020. As in the Tokyo show, social distance and the wearing of masks and face guards were strictly enforced, but fans gathered at the venue, Dojima River Forum, to make sure they did not miss this rare opportunity to see her live, and the show was packed with excitement.

Kito followed the band members and sang the first song "Swinging Heart" to raise the tension of the audience, and during "Always Going My Way," two members of ONiGASH!MA Dancers brought their costumes on hangers and coordinated them. MA dancers brought their costumes on hangers and coordinated them, foreshadowing the colorful and gorgeous stage that was to follow.

The fourth song, "CRAZY ROCK NIGHT," featured Kito, who quickly changed into a gothic rock style costume, and with a stand microphone in his hand, he let out a powerful low-pitched shout, a complete change of pace from the opening song. From the song symbolizing the latest 1st album "STYLE," Kito warmed up the audience with "Drawing a Wish," a song with a rough drum rhythm.

Kito, who appeared in a white dress after another costume change, captivated the audience with fantastic songs and images that perfectly matched her image, and then transported the audience to another world with "Star Arc," a song with pleasant strings that seemed to represent the twinkling of stars.

Closing the first half of the concert was the fan favorite "23:00 Spring Thunder Girl" written and composed by Tomoya Tabuchi. The lead song of the album, accompanied by a piano-driven rock sound, vividly depicted the emotions of a girl just before the date changes with the hands of a clock projected on the stage.

After the introduction time of the ONiGASH!MA band and dancers, Kito, who had changed her costume, performed the exhilarating summer song "Instant Mermaid" (a character song by Natsuho Hinata from the TV anime "Blend S") against the backdrop of LED lights that made the audience feel like they were in the summer sea.

Then he said, "It's the second half of the live, but are you ready to get excited yet? Next, I would like to sing a cover song!" The song that flowed out under the dark red lights, which was a complete change from the freshness of the previous song, was "Kourenka," the opening theme song for the TV anime "Demon Slayer. Kito, who also plays the role of Priestess Nezuko, sang this well-known song as if she were biting her teeth into the song, bringing red flowers to the Osaka stage.

Since the Tokyo performance was followed by a performance of her own character song and a cover of the theme song of the work, one can look forward to what kind of music will be heard at the remaining Nagoya performance.

As the live entered the final stage, they performed "Toumeina Yume" for the first time, a coupling song of their 3rd single for which a sample video had just been uploaded. The song, with its characteristic guitar intro and difficult rhythm, was sung lightly, and the audience enjoyed the dreamy world of "Tomei na Sekai.

Invited by claps demanding an encore, Kito appeared on stage wearing a live tour T-shirt and sang "Let's Pray for Your Flowers" as if wrapping up the live. I know it will still be difficult, but I look forward to seeing you all again, and I want to sing the last song so that you will think it was the best live performance ever. Let's go~!" he declared in high spirits. The dancers and the audience joined in waving flags to each other as if promising to see each other again for the last song, "Fly-High-Five!


The last show of the tour in Nagoya on October 3 (Sat.) will be streamed live for a fee, so be sure to check it out.
