JESSE from RIZE and The BONEZ is officially back. After spending months in recovery from persistent injuries, the artist will make his return to live performance at "Noto no Hi Bring The HOPE Project" on August 1st at Nanao City Cultural Hall in Ishikawa Prefecture.

JESSE initially paused all live activities in January 2026 following medical advice to undergo extended rehabilitation. The injuries had accumulated over time, requiring him to step back from his demanding schedule with both his groups.

His comeback performance will take a charitable angle. "Noto no Hi" is a free event inspired by "Togoe no Hi," a charity initiative that began in 2010 following the Haiti earthquake. This Noto edition will feature JESSE performing alongside friends in an effort to bring hope to the region.

The event opens at noon with performances starting at 4 PM. Attendance is free, though fans need to register through a special application form to participate. This grassroots approach marks a meaningful return—rather than jumping straight back into major tour dates, JESSE is easing back with an intimate, community-focused event.

When JESSE first announced his hiatus, he reassured fans that he'd be back on stage before long. "Don't worry," he said at the time. "I'll definitely make my way back to the stage with plenty of energy." This August performance fulfills that promise.

For both RIZE and The BONEZ fans who've been waiting for JESSE's return, this represents the first concrete confirmation that he's ready to perform again. Whether this leads to full-scale tour activity for both groups remains to be seen, but it's a solid first step back into live performance.
