Akari Kito, a voice actress and artist, held her 1st LIVE TOUR "Colorful Closet" on Saturday, October 3, 2020, in Nagoya, her hometown. As with the Tokyo and Osaka shows, the Nagoya City Public Hall was equipped with all possible infection prevention measures against the new coronavirus, and a large audience gathered there.

After opening the live with two lively songs, "Swinging Heart" and "Always Going My Way," the MC said, "Finally, I have come to Nagoya, my hometown, for the final show of my one-man live! This is the city where I was born and raised. I haven't been to Nagoya Station for a long time, and I felt nostalgic, but my heart has always been in Nagoya! I have some restrictions this time as well, such as masks and face shields, but I hope you can enjoy the live show as much as possible under these circumstances," he said, expressing his feelings toward his hometown, Aichi Prefecture. After singing the ballad "INNOCENT" in a calm and relaxed manner, the band continued with a colorful program of songs from their album "STYLE" and a quick costume change, leaving the audience breathless.

The Nagoya performance also featured Kito's character songs and cover versions of the theme songs of the films in which he has appeared, which were well-received at the Tokyo and Osaka performances. With LED stars twinkling in the night sky in the background, Kito sang "Rocket" (from the TV anime "Re:Stage! Dream Days"), he sang, "I'm glad so many people know this song! We are in the final stages of the live performance, and I would like to sing a cover song next," he said, raising expectations. The song that started playing was "starry" (cover by Mashiro Ayano), the OP song of the TV anime "Grancrest Senki" in which she played the role of Shilka Meretes, and coincidentally, two songs on the theme of "stars" were played in succession, lighting up the Nagoya sky with Kito's singing voice.

Toward the end of the live, they performed their 3rd single "Kimi no Tonaride de" for the first time in front of the audience, for which a short version of the music video had just been uploaded, and delivered a refreshing song full of adolescence linked to the TV animation "Adachi to Shimamura" that was used as the ED theme.

For the encore, they performed "Kimi no hana wo koi wo" (Let's Pray for Your Flowers). As the band sang the song as if they were biting their teeth over their soon-to-be-concluded live tour, fans simultaneously held up boards on which they had written messages for Kito. This performance was planned as a surprise to Kito, with the intention of "conveying your feelings to him while he was unable to speak out. In response, he said, "Wait, what's that? I didn't hear that! I was so surprised! This song itself makes me cry, but if you do this to me, I'm going to cry." Tears appeared in Kito's eyes as he said he had decided not to cry while singing, and he was pleased with the surprise.

In addition, at the Nagoya concert, Kito made a big announcement.

1) Akari Kito's 1st LIVE TOUR "Colorful Closet" Blu-ray will be on sale!
2) Official fan club will be opened!

The announcement was greeted with thunderous applause.

In the final MC for the live tour, she said, "I was so anxious and worried about this live tour, but thanks to all of you, I was able to run through it. On October 16, Kito celebrated his birthday and the first anniversary of his debut as an artist, as well as the establishment of an official FC, The audience shared in the joy of the event. Thus, the 1st LIVE TOUR, which was conducted under very difficult circumstances, was a success, and the final performance was also a runaway success.

On this day, an after-tour talk session was broadcast live on ZAIKO from 10:00 p.m. immediately after the live performance, where Kito and the members of ONiGASH!MA explained the live performance from their own perspectives.

The Nagoya concert can be archived (for a fee) until 23:59 on October 6 (Tue.), so be sure to check it out. Also, details and further information about Akari Kito's official FC will be announced on Akari Kito's official website and official Twitter, so please look forward to it.
