Naoto Kine, who plays guitar and keyboards in TM NETWORK, is currently on a 14-city national tour 「Blowin’ in the Winds of Winner Tone」, in which he plays the piano and talks about many of the songs he has provided for the artists.

Even better, it’s a 「winnertone」
『Naoto Kine’s 「Winner Tone Wind Blown」 tour 2023』 will be a solo live performance playing a piano by the Viennese piano maker 「Bösendorfer」, which Kine fell in love with, saying, 「It suits my music…」 (*Because of the small number of pianos, not all venues on the tour have Bösendorfer pianos, but Naoto Kine will play Kinemelo on a wonderful local piano at each performance! (by staff)
Bösendorfer of Austria, where Vienna, the capital of music, is located, is one of the 「world’s three major piano makers」 along with Steinway & Sons of the United States and Bechstein of Germany. Among them, Bösendorfer’s tone, which is considered to be one of the most fantastic and famous instruments, is called 「Winner Tone」.
We have nothing but high expectations as Naoto Kine will be playing a number of his own compositions on 「Winner Tone」. It seems that he will be performing works that he has written for Misato Watanabe and Takashi Utsunomiya (TMN) as well as Kiyoshi Hikawa, Yui Asaka, SKE48 TeamS, and others.
Incidentally, the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, the venue for the Kanazawa concert, will play a 「Bösendorfer」 piano.
TM NETWORK also active
TM NETWORK (Tetsuya Komuro, Takashi Utsunomiya, Naoto Kine) will release their latest album 『DEVOTION』 on June 14, which includes two new songs. The day before the event, a distribution event 「TM NETWORK FANKS THE PARTY 2023 feat. “DEVOTION”」 was held. On the 14th, 「TM NETWORK SF Rock Station」 (Tokai Radio) aired its first radio program in a year. The band’s momentum continues with a national tour scheduled for the fall of 2023.
In the midst of all this, Naoto Kine will be holding a live piano performance in Kanazawa, and fans are getting excited.
I am looking forward to the TM NETWORK fall tour, following the 『Naoto Kine Playback Tour 2023』.
