Overview

Minami Kosetsu, a foundational figure of the 1970s Japanese folk movement and former leader of the legendary group Kaguyahime, returns to the stage for an extensive 2026 nationwide tour. Known for his warm, evocative voice and poetic storytelling, Kosetsu continues to captivate audiences with anthems that defined an era of Japanese music. This tour features two distinct performance styles: his “Kandagawa” series, focusing on his classic folk roots, and the “Kimi to Boku no Uta” (A Song for You and Me) series, celebrating the enduring connection between the artist and his fans.

A highlight of the 2026 season is the “Minami Kosetsu Classic” special event in Osaka, where he is joined by the Osaka Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Kiyotaka Teraoka. This orchestral collaboration reimagines his folk masterpieces with grand symphonic arrangements, providing a sophisticated and moving experience. Whether performing solo with his guitar or backed by a full orchestra, Kosetsu’s performances remain a testament to the lasting power of the Japanese folk spirit.
