A full-throated cry and heartfelt words echo in ano's absolute sanctuary: "I'm living in the now because I want you to see me now"
ano's Tokyo performance of her Tokyo-Nagoya-Osaka Zepp tour, "BONE BORN BOMB TOUR," was held on July 4 at Zepp Haneda (TOKYO).

Previously, ano's live shows have included dancers or synced with programmed tracks depending on the song, but for this tour supporting her 2nd album "BONE BORN BOMB" released in June, she delivered a stage that was simpler and more solid than ever before. With minimal production, ano focused purely on the music. The setlist was centered on songs from her latest album, with many being performed live for the first time. In front of a large audience gathered with anticipation, ano unleashed her raw emotions.
Perhaps the final destination I'm seeking is...

Appearing on stage to a huge ovation, ano was dressed in a white knit outfit with a "bone" motif, symbolizing "BONE BORN BOMB." The first song she unleashed was the pop tune "Iinazuke Kyun." Seeing her perform this song, which has previously been presented with backup dancers, while dancing and singing alone felt fresh.
ano then picked up her guitar to sing "N-itenbuse," instantly raising the audience's temperature with a rough band sound. She exploded with destructive impulses in "Shakai no Mado," and jumped lightly with the audience under a glittering mirror ball during "Aishiteru, Nante ne." In "Namida-kun, Kyou mo Ohayou!," the entire floor waved their arms from side to side in unison, and at the end of the song, a massive a cappella singalong of "La la la la la, la la la la la" between ano and the crowd echoed through the venue. After racing through the opening part of the set, she moved to her first MC segment. ano began to talk about what she was thinking while making the album.

"Weird people, hopeless people, people who seem to be enjoying life... there are all kinds of people in this world, and when you go outside you can't be alone, but when you go home, you feel like you're all alone. That's why becoming just two people is the hardest thing. 'Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction' was a movie like that, too, but I really like the idea of 'two people.' I started to think that maybe the final destination I'm seeking is 'to become just two people.' I thought a lot about things like that while making this album."
With that prelude, she sang "Kono Sekai ni Futari Dake." Riding on an alternative band sound, ano delivered the song straightforwardly and with deep emotion. After surrendering herself to the waves of sound as if drifting across the stage during "swim in Suimin Tokyo," she performed "Communication Sensation." The crowd let out cries of joy at this unexpected song, which stood out in a setlist centered on her latest album.
This is a place you can't find anywhere else, a place that must be absolutely protected

Picking up an acoustic guitar, ano sang "YOU&Ai Heaven" as if pouring out her heart's pain. Still holding the acoustic guitar, she moved on to "Happy Lucky Chappy," the opening theme for the anime "Takopi's Original Sin," which had just been released for streaming the week before the concert. On the screen, along with the image of ano singing, lyrics written in manga speech bubbles were displayed in sync with the song, leaving a visually striking impression.

From here, the concert entered its second half. Starting with "Smile Agenai," pop and upbeat songs once again rocked the floor. During "Rori Rokkyun Robo♡," ano held a decorated megaphone and sang passionately, as if agitating the audience. As smoke billowed from the stage, she sang "Neko Haki Gokuraku Ondo" with high energy, instigating the crowd with, "You're all going through a lot of tough stuff, right? Let it all out here!"
Furthermore, in the punk tune "Hone Baki☆Yuugure Diary," which was performed for the first time on this tour, her powerful, low-pitched growls and cute singing voice alternated, throwing the audience into a frenzy with her wide vocal range. The excitement carried straight into "Fuhen," and the show headed towards its climax while maintaining a high level of intensity.

"This song has choreography, but could you please ignore all that, forget about what others think, and just throw everything you have at me?" ano's words kicked off "Chu, Tayousei." The audience responded by moving their bodies and raising their voices as they pleased, creating a free and uninhibited time where the barrier between the stage and the floor seemed to have been removed. After sparking a high-energy mass singalong with "F Wonderful World," the show transitioned nonstop into its sequel, the new song "Bubble Me Face," creating a progression like a single suite.

Having delivered a full-throttle performance up to this point, ano, catching her breath, murmured about the day's stage, "I think this is a place you can't find anywhere else, a place that must be absolutely protected. This is the absolute sanctuary." As if cued by these words, "Zezeze Zettai Seiiki" began. Her growling, emotional vocals became almost like a scream as the song progressed, and in response, the band's performance grew more heated. At the climax of this spectacular performance, silver streamers were shot into the audience, and the main part of the concert came to a close.
I'm living in the now because I want you to see me now

As calls for an encore echoed through the venue, a movie played on the screen, announcing that the title of her solo concert at the Nippon Budokan on September 3 would be "Jumon wo Kakete, Maboroshi wo Toite." ("Cast a Curse, Dispel the Illusion."). Returning to the jubilant venue with her band members, ano spoke to the floor sincerely and resolutely.
"I'm the type of person who has a side I only show to my fans, so I get told things like, 'I like this version of ano-chan' or 'This ano-chan isn't the real one' more than most. But from my perspective, it's all my own will. Honestly, none of it is a lie. I want you to understand that. I don't like a version of myself that can only be loved if I die. I'm living in the now because I want you to see me now."

Then, with a determined light in her eyes, ano declared to the audience:
"The past, the present, and the future—I can proudly say that I will be myself through it all. I've always lived that way, and I'm confident in that, no matter who denies it. So I think, 'Don't you dare make a fool of me.' Maybe you all have been made fools of a lot, too. People might say things like, 'You support ano-chan?' or 'She's just a worthless fake.' But despite that, you didn't waver, you believed, and you've followed me this far, so thank you. I will take responsibility for all the feelings you have right now, and I think you'll be glad you followed me this far. Let's see all kinds of new sights together from now on."

When ano finished speaking, thunderous applause, as if to break the silence, erupted from all over the venue. Accepting the applause, she performed "Past die Future" for her encore. Backed by a fierce band sound, ano sang as if to release all her overflowing emotions—anger, sadness, and everything in between. Just as the lyrics say, "I am my whole body and soul," she sang with a full-body-and-soul performance as if to blow away all her thoughts. At the end, she shouted a heartfelt thank you to the audience before her, who had accepted her "now" head-on: "Thank you for finding me!"
After the performance, a stage diagram for the Nippon Budokan solo concert "Jumon wo Kakete, Maboroshi wo Toite." to be held on September 3 was released, revealing that it will be held in a center-stage format. Tickets are currently on sale, and upgrade ticket applications are being accepted for annual course members among fan club advance purchasers.
