He has supported and directed performances for artists such as TRF, Mariya Nishiuchi, and Mrs. GREEN APPLE, while also devoting himself to nurturing the next generation of dancers. His Tokyo independent performances “GIFT” and “GIFT II” in 2023 and 2024 were both sold-out. Furthermore, following the highly successful Tokyo performance of “GIFT III” on August 7, 2025, he will finally return to his hometown of Toyama for a triumphant performance. Momoyo says: “Dance saved me and changed my life. This time in Toyama, I want to share all of that feeling. It will be a time where you can feel that your very existence is a gift to the world.”
