Artist Profile
KIMURADesperate Singer-Songwriter, KIMURA!
Active and giving it his all across Tokyo, armed with just a single guitar.
Aspiring to turn professional since the age of 16, he dedicated himself to music, but at 27, he gave up his dream to enter the corporate world as a regular employee. While working in the hospitality and web industries, he questioned himself daily, wondering if this was truly the life he wanted. Then in 2024, in his mid-30s, he quit his job to throw himself back into music once more. He started singing with raw passion on the streets, in cafes, and at live venues with his guitar.
To push himself completely to the edge, he has scheduled a solo concert on September 19, 2026, with a strict ultimatum: "If I can't sell 120 tickets, I will retire from music immediately!" He is currently selling every single ticket by hand, one by one.
On July 11, 2026, with the support of his fellow musicians, he will release his very first full-length album, "BAD END ni Hi wo Tsukero! (Set Fire to the Bad End!)"
