Nisshoku Natsuko announces nationwide tour at USTREAM for the first time!

Nisshoku Natsuko, who became a hot topic after releasing an album consisting only of piano and drums last August,
On February 11th, he delivered his first program on USTAREAM, and announced that he will hold a tour in four places nationwide from April.

On the program, he performed his own songs and cover songs in response to fan requests,
It was the first delivery while enjoying interaction with fans.

To the unexpected surprise news of the decision to hold the "eyesight retest tour" announced by the person himself as a "important announcement",
We received a lot of happy comments from the fans who were watching the program.

Since the "eyesight test tour" held in November last year with komaki (from.wrong city) was a great response in various places, the "eyesight retest tour" was realized at four locations in Tokyo, Osaka, Morioka, and Hiroshima. .
Komaki (from.wrong city) will participate in this tour as well.
This is a chance for those who went to the previous tour and those who couldn't go to see the solar eclipse Natsuko x komaki again.

Advance ticket reservations are available on the official website from 2/11 (Wed.) to 2/22 (Sun.).

Nisshoku Natsuko herself and komaki (from.wrong city) have sent us enthusiastic comments on the news of the decision of the eyesight re-examination tour.

~ Solar eclipse Natsuko comment ~
In November of this year, I embarked on a one-man tour called the “Sight Test Tour,” which toured seven cities across the country, and felt a clear response and a clear sense of the possibilities for myself in the future.
I wanted to recreate this feeling on stage as soon as possible, so I planned this "eyesight retest tour" as a sequel to the previous tour.
I'm happy that we were able to decide on a sequel to the tour so quickly.

Like last time, we're going to invite komaki to play support drums, but we're planning to change the songs completely. I think that those who have already participated in the tour last time will also see a completely new live.
Please come and recheck the sight of your mind.

~Comment from komaki (from.wrong city)~
Last year, we were looking forward to trying only singing, piano and drums.
thank you!

For those of you who came to the venue last time, as well as those who haven't seen it yet, why don't you come and have your eyesight tested once again?
We are waiting for you at venues nationwide!

In February, they will perform live at Sagami Women's University and three man with luki and Vicke Blanca, and will also appear at various circuit events after March.
Anyway, please go to Natsuko's live performance once and experience the overwhelming performance.

Nisshoku Natsuko and komaki (former toricot/wrong city) start their first one-man tour together!

Piano solo artist Natsuko Nisshoku's one-man tour "Sight Test Tour"
It started in Sapporo from 11/3.

Komaki (formerly of toricot/wrong city), who also participated in the album, participated in this tour as support drums for the mini-album "Tadashida" released in August.
It is a live performance unique to this work where you can see a live performance that reproduces the concept of the album "piano vs drums" right in front of you.

After finishing the first day in Sapporo, the completion of the tour has a high degree of perfection and the expectations for the future tour are increasing.

<Comment from Natsuko Solar Eclipse>
Solar eclipse Natsuko one-man tour "sight test tour", traveling around the country with komaki.
As the name suggests, the confrontation series between the piano and the drums, they face each other at the venue and perform live like a one-on-one battle.
We are also really looking forward to each venue with the excitement of unknown challenges.
Please come and see it!

<komaki>
A nationwide eyesight test tour that started in Sapporo when the first snow fell.
For both you and me, this will be the first LIVE with only singing, piano and drums.
Please try to find your own “something” that appears and disappears in the “gap” between the sounds that are created by the two of you.
By the way, my visual acuity is 3.0.

In addition, Natsuko Nisshoku and komaki's talk and live session video are now available on Youtube!

I want you to experience Natsuko and komaki's one-on-one live performance! !

Because it's real music that was born in a bar, it goes perfectly with real wine!
