ASEAN TOUR 2023 IN VIETNAM
Concerts & Talk with Ito Kashitaro
As part of the programs in celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between Japan and Vietnam (JF No. 26 event) and also the 50th Year of ASEAN-Japan Friendship and Cooperation, The Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam proudly introduce Ito Kashitaro for the first time, with 2 concerts on October 29 (Sunday) and 1 Live & Talk event on October 30 (Monday) in Hanoi.
Japanese anime, manga, and other pop culture have captivated youth worldwide, transcending borders and language barriers. Their popularity continues to grow in Southeast Asia day by day.
Known as a vocalist of unparalleled talent and boasting tremendous support among young social media users, in recent years, ITO Kashitaro has expanded his anime song portfolio with hits like Kioku no Hakobune (ending theme for the anime Deca-Dence) and Silent Minority (opening theme for the anime Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games Is Tough for Mobs), and Vita Philosophica (ending theme for the anime My Happy Marriage). He has also broadened his range by voicing the character Hikage Toma in the HIPHOP media mix project Paradox Live. Through anime, ITO Kashitaro continues to widen the scope of his activities. His gentle, encouraging songs will be brought to Vietnam on his ASEAN TOUR 2023 to inspire the generation that will build future ties between two countries.

Information about Ito Kashitaro:
Having started his singing career on video platforms, ITO Kashitaro became a sensation, often referred to as an unparalleled vocal talent. To date, his videos have amassed over 150 million views. His social media presence is considerable, boasting 710,000 followers and 300,000 official friends on LINE, making him a highly revered artist among younger netizens and social media users. After his major debut, he transitioned to creating original compositions and blossomed as a singer-songwriter, releasing three albums: Ichii Senshin, Niritsu Haihan, and Niten Ichiryu.
In spring 2018, he penned his debut novel Katei Kyoshitsu. In 2020, he released his first single Kioku no Hakobune (the ending theme for the anime Deca-Dence) and his first collected essays Bokutachi ni Niau Sekai (The World that Suits Us), published by KADOKAWA. These ventures showcased his prowess as a “singer-songwriter-novelist.” Since then, he has consistently released anime theme songs, including Shinjuiro no Kakumei (ending theme for Deep Insanity: The Lost Child), Silent Minority (opening theme for Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games Is Tough for Mobs), Hinata no Kuni and Neko Neko Biyori (theme songs for Nights with a Cat), and Vita Philosophica (ending theme for My Happy Marriage). In February 2022, he launched his first best-of album Sanzen Sekai, continuing his streak of having four consecutive albums ranked in the Oricon Top 10 chart.
From 2021 onward, he has been voicing the character Hikage Toma in the HIPHOP media mix project Paradox Live. While his primary activities revolve around singing, music production, and streaming, ITO Kashitaro’s endeavors span songwriting/music production for other musicians, voice acting, writing, and being a DJ and radio host, truly exemplifying his multifaceted talents. Interestingly, he refrains from showing his face in the media, using a fox mask as his trademark.
