Kato Kino is a talented singer-songwriter. She has released her third EP, "Toro" a series of six songs that coolly "expose" the absurdity and unreasonableness that infest the current era. The sixth and last song is "Yasashii Kajitsu". She sings about his clumsy way of life on acoustic guitar. Comment: Maybe I feel a little sorry for myself for being a consumer, like "I used to look up to that person, but now I've surpassed him... I wonder if someone will think that of me someday..." kind of thing.
Kino Kato began performing in 2014. In 2015, they won the Nagoya Grand Prix at the 9th Music Revolution. Their music features a percussive guitar style combined with lyrics that humorously and ironically reflect the absurdities of everyday life and discomfort with society. They traveled alone to London, the Czech Republic, and Paris, independently promoting their music. Their solo show in Paris was a full house, and they spent three months busking, developing a truly one-of-a-kind style of expression. In 2021, they launched their own independent label, ONIKO LABEL. The name "Kino Kato" comes from a childhood nickname. Due to their bowl-cut hairstyle, they were often called "kinoko" (mushroom) in school. "Kino" is a remnant of that nickname, paired with their surname at the time, "Kato."
