FAKE LOVER (Live at Music Zone@E-Max, 2023)

Introducing Takase Toya, an artist who has been making waves in the music industry since his viral hit "Doushite" released in 2022, which became his biggest achievement to date. With skyrocketing domestic and international recognition, he fulfilled his long-awaited dream of a successful overseas performance. For his first single of 2023, he presents an emotional breakup song that captures the mismatched feelings in a romantic relationship from both perspectives. This track, conceptualized four years ago, truly embodies his signature style with its poignant blend of pop and synth sounds that resonate in the listener's hearts. It has been chosen as the ending theme of the music program "BREAK OUT" on TV Asahi in June. Following his second performance in Hong Kong this year, he is set to have his first performance in Taiwan (all dates are sold out) and a domestic tour with the highest expected attendance in his career. As an independent artist, his remarkable success continues to captivate our attention as he expands his horizons beyond Japan. His outstanding journey is one that cannot be overlooked.
