Kawabata Kaname will launch his first three-city Billboard Live tour. He is also active as a member of the vocal duo CHEMISTRY, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, and he made his solo debut in 2012 with the single “TOKYO GIRL.” With a richly expressive voice, he captivates listeners and has established himself as a solid singer. In 2022, in his first collaboration with Billboard Classics, he performed a full-orchestra concert as CHEMISTRY—the first such concert in 18 years—and has since continued to tour vigorously, continuing to rise as a performer. Last year, he released a fulfilling solo album, “ONE WEEK,” featuring a newly written song by Shohei Uemura (THREE1989) and a collaboration track with Naohisa Taniguchi. Furthermore, it has been decided that he will participate as a trainer on the audition show “PRODUCE 101 JAPAN: NEW WORLD.” A borderless singer who continues to thrive, he will present a premium stage, performing a carefully curated selection from his career for you to enjoy to the fullest.
