THE KIMI KATO SHOW with Jeremiah
Kimi visited four major cities on his trip back to Japan: Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Kyoto. He visited three shrines, attended the Music Awards Japan 2025, bought new fashion from his friend, attended three concerts, and also visited his parents in Nagano.

Promote Japanese and Asian music worldwide
