“NON Freedom (10) Tour 2026”: Yoshihide Otomo Confirmed as Special Guest for the Kuji Performance! Ticket Pre-sales Begin Today
It has been announced that Yoshihide Otomo will appear as a special guest at the Kuji performance of the “NON Freedom (10) Tour 2026,” an anniversary concert tour that is part of the large-scale anniversary project “NON10≧20 (Non Twenty),” commemorating the double anniversary of NON’s 10th anniversary and 20th anniversary since their debut!
Yoshihide Otomo, who composed the music for the 2013 NHK morning drama “Amachan” starring NON, won numerous awards—including the Japan Record Award for Best Composition—for the opening theme and soundtrack he created for the series. Kuji is the very location where “Amachan” was set.
Since then, NON has continued to collaborate extensively with Mr. Otomo—appearing as a guest at his events and forming the group “NON to M” with Non, Mr. Otomo, and Sachiko M—a collaboration that continues to this day. Now, to celebrate NON’s special anniversary, Mr. Otomo will be making a special trip to Kuji.
This will be the first time NON and Mr. Otomo have performed together in three years, since their 2023 Kuji concert.
Starting today, advance lottery sales through ticket agencies, as well as ticket sales at the box office of the Kuji City Cultural Hall (Jumonji Chicken Amber Hall), will begin. Don’t miss out!

NON's Comment
I’m so happy that Mr. Otomo will be joining us as a guest for the Jiyu Tour—and specifically for the Kuji performance.
Mr. Otomo, thank you so much.
It’s been about 14 years since we first met, and he has remained one of the musicians I’ve always admired, from then until now.
The time we spent performing and recording together is a treasure to me.
I’m really looking forward to performing with him at Amber Hall in Kuji, a place full of memories!
Comment by Yoshihide Otomo
NON-chan, congratulations on your 10th anniversary! To be honest, I was on the edge of my seat at first, wondering if everything would be okay, but seeing you charge ahead freely—completely unfazed by my worries—actually made me feel a sense of exhilaration, thinking, “This is exactly how it should be!” The best part of all is that you’ve shown everyone that this is one way to live! Since my exhibition opens at YCAM in Yamaguchi the day before, I’ll be rushing there as fast as I can on the day of the event—hopping on planes and cars to make it in time for the performance. I’m really looking forward to performing with you again after so long, especially since we’ll be meeting in Kuji.

▼Nationwide Tour “NON Freedom (10) Tour 2026”
To bring the excitement of this double anniversary directly to fans, we’ve decided to hold a nationwide tour. We’ll look back on NON’s achievements—as she’s charged through her 10th anniversary with boundless freedom—through the lens of rock music.
This tour will visit places connected to NON. In Kuji—where her ties have continued since her appearance in “Amachan”—she will perform an acoustic set. In Tokyo and Kobe (a triumphant return to her hometown in Hyogo Prefecture), she will perform with a full band.
