Overview

KOTOKO LIVE TOUR 2025-2026 is an exhilarating nationwide solo tour by the renowned Japanese singer-songwriter and voice actress KOTOKO (Kotoko Horikawa), a trailblazing figure in the J-pop and anime music scene since her 2002 debut with I’ve Sound.

Celebrated for her ethereal vocals, trance-infused melodies, and iconic anime theme songs like “Ren’ai Circulation” from Bakemonogatari, “Tsuki no Waltz” from Shakugan no Shana, and “Platinum” from Madoka Magica, this tour showcases her evolution from synth-pop roots to mature, emotionally resonant performances.

Spanning December 2025 to January 2026, the tour visits eight regional venues across Shiga, Wakayama, Shizuoka, Mie, Tochigi, Chiba, Kagoshima, and Miyazaki, delivering ~90–120 minute sets of high-energy anthems, acoustic ballads, and fan-favorite covers in intimate live houses. Doors open 30–45 minutes before start times (typically 16:00–16:30), creating an up-close, electric atmosphere. Praised on X for her “hauntingly beautiful voice” and “anime soul that transcends stages,” KOTOKO—born January 19, 1980, in Sapporo—has sold millions worldwide and collaborated with legends like I’ve Sound.

Tickets are ¥6,900 (standing, drinks separate) for most shows, with general sales from November 1, 2025, 10:00 JST. Venues range from ~200–500 capacity, near local gems like Lake Biwa or Ise Shrine. Secure via Ticket Pia—high demand expected for this regional J-pop pilgrimage.
