Satoko Shibata is wrapping up her ongoing tour at Showa Women’s University on July 12. Making her debut in 2012, she’s perhaps best known internationally for her 2024 album Your Favorite Things, which has become somewhat of a Japanese indie gateway drug.
Having embarked on a successful summer tour last year, she’s doing it again in 2026, bringing a full band to nine shows across the country. This final show in Tokyo will mark her biggest headline gig to date.
The live band includes Tokyo-based artist Maika Loubte on synth and vocals. The two have collaborated numerous times in the past, and Loubte’s appearance on the tour comes shortly after the release of her fifth full-length album, House of Holy Banana (which you’ll want to check out – it’s good).
With a June digital single release under her belt, Shibata is also set to make an appearance at this year’s Fuji Rock.
