“TOHO MARCHING BAND” is a joint formation of “Aichi Toho University Brass Band” and “Toho High School Marching Band Club” and is active as the official band of Toho Gakuen.

We play a part in Toho Gakuen’s brand, and perform “performances and performances at requests from local events and companies” and “supportive performances at official high school and university club games such as Koshien.”
We also perform overseas once every three years as part of the TOHO WORLD MARCHING PROJECT.
The first group traveled to the United States in March 2019, and in addition to holding the W Parade at Disney World and Universal Studios Florida, the world’s first solo group, they also interacted with two local high schools and held a charity concert. It has been well received, and footage of the expedition has been uploaded to YouTube. As the second event, on New Year’s Day 2024, we will participate in the 2024 Rose Parade held in Pasadena, California, which is said to be the world’s largest parade. In addition to participating as the “Asia/Oceania region representative”, this time they were selected as one of the top three bands (Pre-parade Honor Band), the first band from Japan to participate, and are the most respected band in America. I had the great honor of following in the parade following the Marine Band.
The parade, which lasted about two and a half hours, was met with cheers and applause from beginning to end, and reached its goal in no time.

When he entered elementary school, his brothers formed a dance unit. As a kids dance unit, they participate in various dance contests and win many contests. In 2007, she won a contest and appeared as a backing dancer on a famous artist’s national tour. Later, when his older brother started to pursue a different path, he saw a live DVD of “AK-69” who was active in his hometown of Nagoya, and was inspired to become a rapper himself, so he began to pursue a career as a rapper. Even while attending school, he started writing down lyrics, adding melodies, and began composing music. RIKU, who is still in elementary school, begins going to live music venues with her mother to perform live in order to get her name remembered. Around that time, he began his full-fledged activities as the rapper “Ricky.” In order to expand the range of his activities, he heard that there was an “AK-69” microphone contest and took part in the preliminary round. He successfully passed the qualifying rounds and will participate in the main tournament. Unfortunately, they were defeated in the quarterfinals of the finals.
Although he felt frustrated, his name suddenly became well-known in his hometown of Nagoya. In 2012, when she entered junior high school and was a first year student, she released the mini-album “Sunny Weather”. Despite being a young artist, he sold out 3,000 copies. After that, he continued to perform at various events and live shows, but upon graduating from junior high school, he temporarily suspended his activities as an artist. Upon graduating from high school, he began studying apparel, which he was interested in as well as music, on his own.
With the desire to launch his own apparel brand, he launched the apparel brand “RKS RICKY” in July at the age of 21. In July 2021, one year has passed since the brand was launched, and to commemorate the first anniversary, the first brand POPUP SHOP will be held for a limited time from July 21st to July 28th in Nagoya. The curtain closes with great success. In October 2021, as the first step in his full-fledged activities, the first item will be released as a STYLE BOOK that includes the brand’s catalog and worldview, as well as a PHOTO BOOK in which he is a model. Currently, he is currently resuming his career as an artist called RIKU, making use of the music and dance skills he has cultivated since childhood. With a major debut in mind, she is preparing to start her career while training in vocals and dance in her hometown of Nagoya.
