Togenatogari bassist Shuri is heading to Natalie Music's 'Katari' live talk show on June 29 at 8 PM. The hour-long stream will let fans hear directly from the band member as she chats about her interests and downtime.

'Katari' is Natalie Music's ongoing series focused on connecting artists with fans through casual conversation. The show operates as a live stream hosted on the publication's X account, with artists taking the speaker role for roughly 60 minutes of relaxed discussion. Shuri plans to discuss her favorite baseball team, the Saitama Seibu Lions, along with how she spends her days off when not performing.

Togenatogari itself has had quite a year. The five-piece rock band—featuring vocalist Rina, guitarist Yuri, drummer Mire, keyboardist Nagito, and bassist Shuri—emerged from the "Girl's Rock Audition" in 2021, an initiative backed by Agehasprings, Universal Music, and Toei Animation. The band members also serve as voice actors for the anime "Girls Band Cry," lending authenticity to the show's fictional band.

The group has been building momentum steadily. After dropping their debut single "Nanomaki Nanikamo" in July 2023, they've maintained a consistent release schedule with all tracks produced by Keiji Tamai of Agehasprings. Last September, they headlined their first Budokan concert—a major milestone for any Japanese rock act. Since then, they've performed at a school festival in November 2025 and are currently touring venues like Zepp locations from February through March 2026 as part of their "Pulse of the Future" tour.

The band's self-described approach is refreshingly blunt: they call themselves an "destroy-all-preconceptions" emotional rock group formed by five members who self-identify as shy. That authenticity seems to be resonating with audiences as they continue expanding their live footprint and fanbase.

Tuning in to Shuri's 'Katari' appearance should give fans a different side of the band—less performance, more personality.
