Mamoru Miyano Is 1st Male Voice Actor to Perform Solo at Budokan
posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
NHK Hall in Tokyo's Shibuya ward.
Nippon Budokan is an indoor arena venue that can seat about 14,000 attendees, although it typically seats 10,000 or less when configured for musical concerts. A number of female voice actresses such as Yui Horie have performed in the arena, and some of them have performed in larger venues. However, Miyano will be the first male voice actor to accomplish this.
Miyano has released three studio albums and eight singles to date. His latest single, "ULTRA FLY," is the theme song for the Ultraman Retsuden television series. He has also performed themes for Kindaichi Case Files.
A Mamoru Miyano Live Tour 2012-2013 ~Beginning!~ DVD of this most recent tour will go on sale on June 8 — Miyano's birthday. Miyano will also hold birthday concerts at June 8 and June 9 at Chiba's Maihama Amphitheater. His ninth single, "Kanon," will go on sale on April 10.
