"This is Toua" Album Artwork

Toua has consistently expressed their authentic self through YouTube, social media, and music. This album, "This is Toua," encapsulates the emotions everyone experiences in life – encounters, farewells, friendship, love, conflict, confidence, and doubt – and the "Toua" they have discovered within these experiences.

Believing in one's own values, rather than conforming to someone else's ideals.

Enjoying one's unique style, free from the constraints of lookism and stereotypes.

Individuality, freedom, fashion, borderless.

These themes, which Toua has consistently conveyed, are depicted as a single narrative through pop music.

The released artwork features Toua in various styles and expressions. "Various Touas" with different charms intersect within a single worldview, creating a visual that symbolizes the album's concept: "This is me."

Additionally, pre-release singles from the album are scheduled for release starting July 7, 2026 (Tue). Listeners can experience the story leading up to the album's completion, track by track.

Moreover, immediately following the album's release, Toua will hold their first-ever solo live show, "Toua 1st LIVE 'This is Toua,'" on September 20, 2026 (Sun) at Zepp Shinjuku (TOKYO). The fastest pre-sale tickets will start today, June 30, 2026 (Tue) at noon.

Every appearance, every emotion, is all Toua.

"This is Toua," filled with feelings that couldn't be fully expressed on YouTube or social media, is a culmination of Toua's current charm and a new starting point.
