This is a digital painting of the avatar of Vocaloid producer and songwriter Kikuo with colourful and flowing long hair and two red horns. The painting shows Kikuo in a movement where he moves his arms, making it look that he has several arms. The avatar seems to be mysterious with a quiet but expressive look. This painting has been used for the Kikuo World Tour 2024 – 2025 “Kikuoland-Go-Round” promotion.

Shortly after announcing his second world tour, entitled Kikuoland: Above All Bounds, songwriter and Vocaloid producer Kikuo has revealed the first chapter of this endeavour, namely the dates for the European leg.
Consisting of 16 dates in 12 countries, the European tour will kick off in London on 26 February 2026. In addition to the European shows, Kikuo will also perform in Southeast and East Asia, North and Latin America, Australia and his home country of Japan.

Kikuo has become one of the most popular and influential creators in this corner of music. He is known for his unique musical style: a mix of cute songs paired with dark subjects combined with upbeat music. With an eye for detail, Kikuo uses unique instrumental textures, harmonies and sound effects. Kikuo began his career as a music producer in 2003 and made his first Vocaloid creation in 2010. In his Vocaloid songs he primarily feature Hatsune Miku as the main character.

Since then, he has built a loyal international fan base. Besides touring the world, he is also active in the virtual world for gigs, in October he organised another release party in VRChat to celebrate his latest creation, a Vocaloid rave world called よるとうげ’ (Yorutouge/Midnight Pass). This virtual world even won an award at the Advanced Visual Media Association Lumiere Japan Awards 2024.

After touring the United States for the first time in early 2024, he clearly wanted more: a world tour. This resulted in performances in China, South and North America, and Australia. Last January and February, he also appeared on European stages and sold out several shows.
