There is no
doubt that “ Bocchi
the Rock! ” was one of the most relevant premieres in the entire
year 2022, rivaling others such as “ Chainsaw Man ” and
“ Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru “. And although the anime
adaptation practically does not continue because what follows are two
compilation films, the protagonist group “Kessoku Band” continues to
raise the name of the franchise.
After a
successful participation in the JAPAN JAM 2024 music festival in Japan, the
Kessoku Band announced a national tour for Fall-2024. The core group of “Bocchi the
Rock!” announced the Zepp Tour 2024, a series of concerts at Zepp venues around
Japan, with concerts scheduled in Osaka, Sapporo, Tokyo, Nagoya and Fukuoka.
Let us
remember that the group is made up of the voice actresses of the project, which
include Yoshino Aoyama as Hitori Gotou; Sayumi
Suzushiro as Nijika Ijichi; Saku Mizuno as Ryou Yamada,
and Ikumi Hasegawa as Ikuyo Kita. In fact, a recent video
became a trend by showing a fragment of the Kessoku Band's participation in
JAPAN JAMP 2024, where, among other songs, they performed “ Seishun
Complex ”, the opening of the series.

years, she started playing the guitar and wanted to join a band because she

hours every day.

online under the name “Guitar Hero” and fantasized about performing at her
school's cultural festival concert. But not only could she not find any
bandmates, but before she knew it, she was in high school and still couldn't
make a single friend! She was very close to becoming a NEET, but one day,
Nijika Ijichi, drummer of Kessoku Band, approached her. And because of that,
her daily life began to change little by little...
