Kaoru Kurosawa, who has long driven the scene as a member of Japan’s leading vocal group The Gospellers, returns to the Billboard Live stage. The Gospellers have delivered timeless songs loved across generations, such as “Forever” and “Alone,” and Kurosawa, who debuted as a solo artist in 2005, is celebrating his 20th anniversary this year—an especial milestone. With songs rooted in soul and R&B and a passionate yet delicate vocal style, he has established a distinctive presence as a solo artist. This time, in a special live performance, he will sing not only songs he performed on the music program Spicy Sessions (Spicy Sessions), which he co-hosts with Aruno Nakanishi (Nogizaka46), but also cover songs that form Kurosawa’s roots. Like the program, the onstage atmosphere will be a touch provocative, vividly reflecting his past trajectory and current position. After twenty years of growth, we invite you to immerse yourself in Kaoru Kurosawa’s musical world, now more than ever.
