Yuta Orisaka’s new artist photo and the tour visual for his upcoming hall live Waltz of the Left Behind, scheduled for April 2025, have been unveiled.
The photoshoot was carried out with the support of Musashino Art University and was directed by Masayuki Shioda, who has been photographing Orisaka’s works since 2018. The design was handled by Takara Suzuki.
The Tokyo performance of Waltz of the Left Behind is set for Friday, April 4, at NHK Hall, while the Osaka performance will take place on Friday, April 11, at The Symphony Hall. The concert will reflect on Yuta Orisaka’s career to date.
The band lineup features senoo ricky (drums), Azumi Miyata (contrabass), Kota Yamauchi (electric guitar), and Natsuko Hara (saxophone/flute), who joined Orisaka for his Jumon Tour, which concluded on October 18 in Tokyo. Joining them are yatchi (piano), Ryotaro Miyasaka (percussion), and a string quartet composed of Atsuko Hatano (violin), Eyuko Suzuki (violin), Naoko Kadotani (viola), and Yumiko Iwao (cello). Together with Orisaka, this marks his largest ensemble yet, with a total of 11 performers.
A comment from Orisaka regarding the upcoming performances has also been released.
For Waltz of the Left Behind
Fleeing steps, faces etched with surrender.
On a sinking ship, a band plays on, their frozen hands coaxing whatever sound they can from the moment.
I stood by, watching it all fade—and somehow, I remained.Will the day ever come again when I grasp, deep in my bones, the sheer reality of living this very moment?
Today, too, I’ll nod to what the waves have claimed and to the figure reflected on their surface.And still, if I must, I’ll do it with a smile—because why not face it all with a bit of light?

Tickets for the performance are currently available through the second presale on Ticket Pia until Sunday, November 24. Additionally, the final show of the Jumon Tour, held at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA in Tokyo on Saturday, November 16 at 5:30 PM, will be exclusively live-streamed on U-NEXT.
