Maori Ohno, drummer

This was the first Sapporo concert in three years. The last time was at the Corona Disaster, so this was the first time for the band to perform in their usual style. It was also my first time to attend a Kimito Band concert. The venue was swirling with the enthusiasm of "Kimi" (the name of the fans) who must have gathered from all over Hokkaido.

As the audience waited impatiently for the show, the venue went dark, and loud cheers rang out. Risako Morita (Vo.), Rio Kiyohara (Gt. & Vo.), and Mai Ohno (Dr.) appeared with a lively entrance sound. The three of them, all dressed in bright white, reflected the dazzling light of the lights, and were greeted by a welcoming "Welcome back! the crowd shouted in welcome. Unfortunately, YUKI (Ba.) was not able to attend due to illness. But the enthusiasm of the girls was evident in their expressions. The enthusiasm of the girls could be felt from their expressions.

Rio Kiyohara, guitarist and vocalist

The first song was "Kimi to Band". From the introductory chorus of "Oh Oh Oh", the sense of unity in the venue was at its maximum. In a previous interview, Kiyohara said, "I want to show them how much cooler I am than I usually am. As he said, his guitar performance was crisp and clear, and his carefree smile was captivating. Mr. Ohno smiled as he played the snappy rhythm of the drums and sang with a powerful voice and expression. Mr. Morita's strong singing voice and facial expression gave him an overwhelming presence. It's hard to believe that from the very first song, you can feel their passion for their first Sapporo concert in a long time. ......

Vocalist Risako Morita

Before I had time to chew on my emotions, the second song, "Slow Motion," immediately followed. The pop rhythm made my body bounce unintentionally. The audience responded to Ms. Kiyohara's shouts of encouragement. The sense of unity, which should have been maxed out from the beginning, seemed to grow even stronger.

The sense of trust among the band members during the ballad song.

When the song ended, the audience cheered loudly. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting! I'm finally back!" The audience cheered to hear such a voice. The audience responded with cheers. The next song was "rosemary.

Sitting in front of the keyboard, Morita-san sang calmly, a far cry from the previous song. She continued with the ballads "Yumekoi" and "Sayonara Refrain," showing off her expressive power. The drums and guitars sounded as if they were accompanying the warm air surrounding the song. The band's sense of unity was required because of the quietness of the song. It is a wonderful teamwork that you can really feel.

The next song was "Koi Gokoro," a lyric written by Mr. Morita from the new single "Thanks. It has a pop impression, but also has a pleasant rock element with electric guitar sounds mixed in. The following song, "Midnight Scream," has a melodic intensity. So high!" followed from there. As Mr. Ohno said in a preliminary interview, "This song will be a standard live song," the audience exploded into a frenzy with their hands in the air. Although it was the first time for most of the audience to see the band live, they were so enthralled by the perfect groove that it was as if they had known the band for a long time.

The ninth song was "To That Place. During the chorus, the audience and the stage pumped their fists in the air and shared their feelings with each other. Then came "Koi no Monster," a live staple! The two vocalists jumped around cutely, and the excitement of "Kimi" and the audience was impressive as they responded to them.

The enormous amount of heat released in the last song "∞YAKEN". The stage of Kimi and the band ended with the fusion of cuteness and rock passion, and with a strong sense of a "new generation of girls' band".

A "surprise" during the encore. Kimi" and her band were thrilled by the unexpected song choice.

As soon as the girls left the stage, a chorus of encores erupted. It has been a standard practice for this tour to surprise the audience with an encore, and Morita-san was in charge of the encore in Sapporo.

The song performed was Morita's solo song "Horizon". The audience gasped at the unexpected song choice. It seemed as if the audience could feel the atmosphere of "Kimi" and his band as they listened attentively to this rare performance performed in the style of Kimi and his band.

Then, Mr. Kiyohara's rap part was performed in the song "Spicy! Mr. Kiyohara moves around violently. Mr. Morita, not to be outdone, got on the platform and raised his arms in the air. The audience responded with full force.

The last performer was Mr. Kiyohara, who said, "Last time I came to Sapporo, I couldn't make a promise to see you again, but this time I can! See you next year at Zepp Sapporo!" I can promise you this time! The last time they played in Sapporo was at a live house right in front of Zepp Sapporo, and only two years later, they went to the Zepp venue of their dreams. For "Kimi" and others who have been watching over them all these years, it must be a deeply moving experience.

The last song of the encore was "Semishigure. Morita-san played the song softly, and the audience listened attentively. At the end, the three members lined up and bowed deeply. The Sapporo concert ended with applause from the audience.

This was my first time to attend a live performance. I had only heard of the band's ability through their sound recordings, but their enthusiasm was quite different when they performed live. Not only their performance, but also their every action was eye-catching and emotional. Next year, "Kimi to Band" will begin its biggest tour to date. Next year, "Kimi to Band" will begin its biggest tour to date. We are sure that they will show us their growth.
