Commodo was formed with the idea of "performing music so that listeners can enjoy music in an easygoing manner.
At the time of the formation of the group, I vividly remember that no one could speak a word on the rubble-strewn coastline of the year after the Great East Japan Earthquake, and I remember it vividly at every charity concert.
Still, there was one person who told us that it was precisely in times like these that he wanted to enjoy music and that music saved his life.
For that one person, we must always deliver a performance. I was able to recognize this once again.

While the restrictions on activities due to infectious diseases, which were said to make music impossible, have been eased and we can look forward to more fun, 2024 has seen a lot of sad news since the beginning of the year.
We believe that it is important to both remember the past disasters and to do all we can to help those who need support now.
We will do what we can do "now".
We will provide performances that can be enjoyed by everyone "at ease.
Commodo has been working for this purpose.
As long as there is even one person in front of us who is looking forward to seeing us this year, we will do our best to enjoy ourselves and deliver our music as much as we can in any way that we can be of help.

We will be playing in a larger venue than before, with plenty of room for the audience, and we will play many songs that everyone can easily enjoy.

We look forward to seeing you all.
