This event marks Tussy's first solo tour across three cities. It is expected to be a special space where not only fans who have supported his activities so far, but also those who have recently discovered him, can come together and enjoy. [Tussy's Personal Comment] As a singer, this is my first time holding events not only in Tokyo but also in Osaka and my hometown Okinawa... I'm incredibly excited! Thank you, HMV&BOOKS! 'PLAY PARADE' is a deeply meaningful song about ESPICE, the group I belong to. Although we performed it with all the members during ESPICE's 'VIVID VISION' tour, I'm very happy to be able to deliver this important song to all of you who support me as a solo artist! I will do my best to increase such opportunities, working hard both in group activities and as a solo artist. Thank you for your continued support! ■ Event Outline "TUSSY PLAY PARADE FRESH UP" -Special Release Event- [Dates] May 20th (Wed) Tokyo OPEN / 19:00 START / 19:30 HMV&BOOKS SHIBUYA MARUI MODI 6F Tickets: https://www.hmv.co.jp/store/event/55341/ May 26th (Tue) Osaka OPEN / 18:00 START / 18:30 HMV&BOOKS NAMBA MARUI 7F Tickets: https://www.hmv.co.jp/store/event/55342/ June 27th (Sat) Okinawa (Homecoming) OPEN / 17:00 START / 17:30 HMV&BOOKS OKINAWA PARCO CITY 3F Tickets: https://www.hmv.co.jp/store/event/55343/ ["PLAY PARADE" Music Video Now Available!] https://youtu.be/6v0CUAJpdlM Born in Okinawa Prefecture, Anisong Dance Performer / Singer Member of REAL AKIBA BOYZ and RAB ESPICE Joined REAL AKIBA BOYZ in 2019 after new member auditions.
