Kuroi Veil

RiqrhoAre00, a music project by stage actor Tomoe Oshima, has released its first single for download.

RiqrhoAre00 is a music project derived from RiqrhoAre, a comprehensive performing arts unit founded by stage actor Tomoe Oshima, a former member of Gesshoku Kagekidan and Kaiten Hyakume.
The project began in 2013 with Hideo Shimamura as music producer.
Since then, they have released three albums and mini-albums under the title "Shiro-note. The song "Eien to Ichinichi" from the third mini-album reached No. 8 in Japan on the iTunes Store's New Age Top Songs list. (dated 20.01.09.)
They are good at theatrical live performances that incorporate music into the story, and in recent years, they have been performing their own activities that transcend the boundaries between theater and music, such as providing music for the theater performance "Aria on the G line" by PSYCHOSIS, an "alternative theater club" that will be staged in December, 2022.

The current work, "Kuroi Veil," will be released for limited distribution as an advance single for their fourth album (scheduled for release in November 2023).
The dark and aesthetic finish of this album is a complete change from the previous album, which consisted of delicate and lovely songs, and shows the breadth of both Shimamura's musicality and Oshima's expressive ability.
