POP-AID FIRST PARTY Confirmed for 11/3 at Shin-Kiba GARDEN!
October 24, 2023
Hoshimiya Toto + TEMPLIME are hosting their very first self-produced event.
To celebrate the release of the second album "POP-AID," the event takes place on Culture Day, Friday, November 3 (national holiday), at Shin-Kiba GARDEN. In a live space that feels like a former factory, we'll take on a new kind of expression that fuses music, visuals, and lighting.

Hey, it's Hoshimiya Toto, shut-in as always! Thanks to everyone's support, I finally get to put on an event of my very own, and I couldn't be happier. My first-ever self-produced live show!!! Thank you so much, really! I've always wanted to do a show built around my own concepts and staging, and now it's actually about to come true! On top of that, the folks from Den-on-ken are handling the audiovisual and VJ side of the production. And the lighting and sound are each being taken care of by people I asked personally! So many other people are supporting us too, and preparations are well underway! But no matter how amazing the show turns out, it'd be lonely if no one comes to see it… So I hope we can create a live show together that everyone will remember! Let's make something that leaves you thinking, "Ahh, I'm so glad I came~! I'm so glad I went~!"

Hello. This is KBSNK. Thank you as always for all your support! Before we launched the crowdfunding, we'd talked about how "it'd be amazing if we could cap it all off with a live show if this succeeds," but I'm honestly amazed it's actually happening…! At first we considered doing it at an ordinary club or live house, but Toto was absolutely set on a factory…!! So I remember spending about three months searching for a former factory venue. In the end, we went to see Shin-Kiba GARDEN in person, and it just clicked perfectly for everyone involved, so that's where we settled.
With the deadline bearing down, the pressure of having to finish the tracks in time sent me into a slump and things stalled for a while, but I pictured the looks on everyone's faces when they got the album in their hands, and somehow I pushed through. At the release party, you'll of course get a Hoshimiya live show and a TEMPLIME DJ set unlike anything before, but we're also planning performances from other guest artists and collaborations with Hoshimiya. And there may even be an interactive live segment using the voices and applause of everyone who comes! It's shaping up to be a release party packed to the brim right from the start! So please, please… we'd love to have you!!!
