Kaneko Ayano’s band, kanekoayano, has released their highly anticipated first album “Ishi no Ito” on Friday, April 25. Alongside the album release, the band has also announced a nationwide tour set to cover 12 cities across Japan.
The announcement comes after Kaneko Ayano revealed in August 2024, during the finale of ‘Noon One-Man Show 2024’ at Hibiya Park Large Music Hall, that the band would officially adopt the name kanekoayano.
The album, which consists of 10 tracks, was recorded by the core band members—Kaneko Ayano (Vocals/Guitar), Hirotoshi Hayashi (Guitar), and takuyaiizuka (Bass)—along with supporting members SEI NAGAHATA (Drums) and Ryotaro Miyasaka (Percussion). The album was crafted after over a year of pre-production work. The artwork for the album was created by artist TIDE, who has previously designed Kaneko Ayano’s website and merchandise. In addition to digital streaming, the album will be released on CD and vinyl on Wednesday, May 28, with plans for international distribution.
Starting in June, the band will embark on the ‘kanekoayano Hall Tour 2025 “Ishi no Ito”’, which will include 14 performances in 12 cities across Japan. The tour will feature three shows in Tokyo at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA and Kanadevia Hall (TOKYO DOME CITY HALL). Tickets for the tour are available via official pre-sale lottery, with applications accepted until Tuesday, May 6.
