Kato Rihona (as Aoyagi Tsubaki, of Rondo in "D4DJ", as Tanuki in "Kemono Friends", etc.) is an actor, TV&Radio personality and voice actor from Ibaraki Prefecture. When she was in high school, she commuted from her hometown to Tokyo by train to perform. In the morning, her mother would send her out the front door. When she was late getting home, her father would drive to the nearest station to pick her up. Now, as an adult, She live in Tokyo and continue her performing career. She has a lot of thoughts and feelings, and they accumulate day by day. One day, through a radio job, she met a musician from her hometown, Ibaraki Prefecture, Mr. Mashiko Tatsuro (composer of "Hanamizuki," etc.) and asked him to write a song about these feelings of hers. Her approach to her days and work. Her thoughts on her hometown. We believe that many people, regardless of generation or region, will be able to relate to this.
