Kiyoshi Hikawa tribute album and concert tour

Overview

Japanese singer Kiyoshi Hikawa released a tribute cover album titled ‘Kiyoshi Hikawa Sings Hibari Misora’ on September 2, 2026. The album includes 13 tracks, featuring six newly recorded versions of classics by the legendary singer Hibari Misora, such as ‘Kawa no Nagare no You ni’. The release saw high demand, briefly selling out on Amazon.

On September 6, 2026, Hikawa celebrated his 49th birthday with a special concert at LINE CUBE Shibuya as part of his ‘KIINA’S LAND 2’ tour. During the performance, he performed tracks from the new tribute album and returned to his enka roots. Hikawa noted that while he previously felt unready to cover Misora due to deep respect, he now feels capable of expressing her music through his own style.

Following the concert, Hikawa marked his 49th birthday on social media by sharing nostalgic childhood photographs on Instagram. He expressed a desire to ‘remain pure and sincere’ as an adult. He also shared details of a celebration with close friends, actors, and television personalities, which featured a custom cake decorated with an illustration of his own face.
