About Omoinotake:
Omoinotake is a Japanese piano trio from Shimane Prefecture, formed in Tokyo in 2012 by junior high school classmates Leo Fujii / Leo (Vocals & Keyboards), Tomoaki Fukushima / Emoaki (Bass), and Hironoshin Tomita / Drage (Drums). Known for their delicate yet deeply emotional vocals and lyrics, the band creates a distinctive groove they describe as music that makes listeners “dance and cry,” earning support from a wide range of audiences.

In 2020, their song “Moratorium” gained attention after being selected as a theme song for an animated feature film. Even before their major-label debut, Omoinotake had already built a strong following, surpassing 100,000 subscribers on YouTube through years of independent activity and street performances centered in Tokyo’s Shibuya district.

The band made their major-label debut with Sony Music Labels in November 2021 with an EP featuring “EVERBLUE” the opening theme for the TV anime Blue Period. In 2022, “Shin-on” was chosen as the theme song for the film Cherry Magic THE MOVIE. They released their first major album “Ammolite” in September 2023, followed by a nationwide Zepp tour.

Their 2024 single “Ikuokukonen” became a massive hit, topping streaming charts and surpassing 600 million total streams. On January 29, 2025, the trio released its second major album Pieces. The band later launched the nationwide Omoinotake ONE MAN TOUR 2012–2025 “Shinka”, culminating in their first-ever solo concert at the iconic Nippon Budokan in March 2026, which sold out completely.
