CUTIE STREET Pilgrimage: Music Video Locations and Eight Milestone Venues

From “Can’t Stop the Queue!” bursting with energy at an amusement park to “Love Train” set against a station backdrop, visit CUTIE STREET music video locations and milestone venues from Toyosu PIT to Nippon Budokan.

CUTIE STREET is an eight-member group: Risa Furusawa, Aika Sano, Kana Itakura, Ayano Masuda, Emiru Kawamoto, Miyu Umeda, Nagisa Manabe, and Haruka Sakuraba. This guide pairs trips to places seen in their videos with the group’s journey: announcing the next stage at their first solo concert, then realizing those plans with their first and second anniversary shows. It also includes concerts in the members’ home prefectures of Aichi and Kumamoto.

Music video settings and eight venues where the group’s dreams came true

Follow the visitor rules at Nasu Highland Park and the conditions for using Keikyu Kamata Station while it is operating. At concert venues, view the exterior and publicly accessible shared areas; entry to the audience area requires a ticket for that event.

Nasu Highland Park | Visit the amusement park from “Can’t Stop the Queue!”

The setting of “Can’t Stop the Queue!” is Nasu Highland Park in Tochigi Prefecture. The official music video, released May 16, 2025, credits the park as its filming location. Even on days without a concert, visitors can enter the park, enjoy the rides, and look for scenes from the video.

The video stands out for the members’ smiles in front of a mint-green brick wall and aboard rotating ship-shaped seats. Scenes of all eight dancing alternate with a story set in an amusement park. The song’s upbeat mood pairs with the park’s colors and rides; watching the official video before walking around can help you recognize buildings and attractions in the background.

You can combine time comparing the scenery with time enjoying the rides you choose. Vehicles and props used for filming may not be available to regular visitors under the same conditions. Check the official daily guidance for ride operations and height restrictions. Choose attractions accordingly.

As of October 23, 2026, the park’s official website is undergoing maintenance, but the park remains open. The official site links to alternative information on hours, ride operations, and prices. Hours vary by season and date, so check the calendar for your visit before setting out.

Keikyu Kamata Station | See the platforms and station scenery from “Love Train”

The official “Love Train” music video lists Keikyu Kamata Station as a filming location. Released on March 7, 2025, it pairs choreography reminiscent of a train with real railway scenery. It is a place where fans who have heard the song live can connect its title with the landscape.

Keikyu Kamata is a junction station between the Main Line, which connects toward Shinagawa and Yokohama, and the Airport Line, which heads to Haneda Airport. The station map shows platforms on multiple levels, with trains going in different directions. After watching the official video, visitors may notice familiar station details such as the pillars, platform depth, and station signs.

Visitors use this station while it is in service. A valid train ticket or platform admission ticket is required to pass through the gates. Train boarding and passenger movement take priority, so it is best to compare the background while traveling or transferring rather than recreate the choreography on the platform. Platform edges, tracks, and staff-only areas are not open for sightseeing.

The address is 4-50-10 Kamata, Ota City. This is a different station from JR and Tokyu Kamata, so search specifically for “Keikyu Kamata” when planning your route. It is easy to include on the way to Haneda Airport, making the journey itself part of the connection with the song.

Toyosu PIT | Premiered three new songs at their first solo concert and announced the next major venue

On February 2, 2025, CUTIE STREET held the Tokyo date of its first solo concert, “CUTIE STREET 1st One-Man Live -CROSS STREET-,” at Toyosu PIT. It came about six months after their August 2024 debut. Tickets sold out shortly after general sales opened.

The show opened with “Hello Hello Mirai” and “Love Train,” while “Kai” and “daylight” revealed a cooler side. The group premiered three new songs that day: “Chotto Hitosaji,” “Chikyuu Make Up Keikaku,” and “Haru Flake.” For those who discovered them through “Kawaii Dake ja Dame Desu ka?,” the concert offered a chance to hear different styles and vocals.

Member Aika Sano described how the new costumes had ribbons layered over ribbons. Emiru Kawamoto said fans bring them new happiness every day. Their words between songs also showed how the eight members were taking in their first solo concert.

During the final encore, the group announced a two-day first-anniversary show at Pia Arena MM. Toyosu PIT, where they had held the Tokyo date of “CROSS STREET,” was also where they revealed plans for their first-anniversary concert about eight months later.

The venue is at 6-1-23 Toyosu, Koto City, about a three-minute walk from Shin-Toyosu Station on the Yurikamome Line. On days without an event, visits are generally limited to viewing the exterior; entry to the building follows each event’s rules. Their first solo concert was also released as a video, so visitors can revisit the performance after seeing the venue.

Sun Azalea | Sequel and member-introduction songs delivered on the first day of the national tour

Wide exterior of Wako Civic Cultural Center Sun Azalea

On August 27, 2025, CUTIE STREET’s first national tour, “CUTIE STREET 1st ANNIVERSARY JAPAN TOUR 2025 CAN’T STOP CUTIE,” began at Wako Civic Cultural Center Sun Azalea in Saitama Prefecture. The group performed 17 songs at this show.

The songs “Kawaii sagashite kuremasu ka?” and “Kyusto no Uta” were released that day. Nagisa Manabe described the former as a sequel to “Kawaii Dake ja Dame Desu ka?” It is about recognizing cuteness in strengths that are hard to see, or even in the things people consider their own flaws, and affirming those qualities in one another.

“Kyusto no Uta” is a song in which the members introduce one another. As the eight marked their first anniversary, they used the song to share what they see in each other. On the first day of a tour taking them across Japan, fans received both a continuation of a previous song and a song that introduced the members.

At this concert, the group also announced that the Toyosu PIT first solo concert would be released as a video. It was a chance to share that fans would be able to watch the February show again. Toyosu and Wako are connected as the site of the first solo concert and the place where the release of its recording was announced.

The venue is at 1-5 Hirosawa, Wako, Saitama Prefecture, about a 13-minute walk from the south exit of Wako-shi Station on the Tobu Tojo and Tokyo Metro lines. On an ordinary day, visitors can view the exterior; access to the main hall depends on the scheduled event. There is no restaurant inside, so plan to eat elsewhere for a more relaxed visit.

Okaya Koki Nagoya Public Hall | Aichi concert in a historic building

On September 5, 2025, the Aichi date of the national tour was held at Okaya Koki Nagoya Public Hall. Member Ayano Masuda is from Aichi Prefecture, adding another connection for fans visiting the venue.

The hall is a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan. Visitors can see the building’s exterior as well as attend concerts there. On a regular visit, the exterior can be viewed from Tsuruma Park; entry to the main hall depends on the event.

The address is 1-1-3 Tsurumai, Showa-ku, Nagoya, inside Tsuruma Park. Concert venues vary even among events held in the same city; this public hall is the venue for the September 5, 2025 Aichi date of “CAN’T STOP CUTIE.”

Visits to the special rooms inside the hall are available depending on use of the facility. On days when visits are offered, check-in is from 2 to 4 p.m.; advance reservations are not accepted. Ask at the administration office or first-floor information counter whether a visit is available that day. A staff member then gives a tour of about 10 minutes. This offers a chance to experience the building’s history separately from attending a concert.

The Kumamoto date of the national tour was held at Kumamoto Castle Hall on September 29, 2025. Risa Furusawa and Miyu Umeda are from Kumamoto Prefecture. As the eight toured different parts of Japan, they also performed in the home prefecture of two members.

Looking back on the tour, Umeda said she had struggled to keep up with how quickly their activities were expanding, and that the other seven members had supported her.

The address is 3-40 Sakuramachi, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto City. Although “Kumamoto Castle” is in its name, the venue is a hall complex in Sakuramachi. Visitors can generally see the exterior and publicly accessible areas; entry to the main hall follows the event’s arrangements.

Pia Arena MM | The first-anniversary show announced at Toyosu

Three visitors walking from the Minato Mirai sidewalk toward the entrance of Pia Arena MM

On October 12 and 13, 2025, the national tour finale was held at Pia Arena MM. This was the two-day first-anniversary show announced at Toyosu PIT. It was the group’s largest venue at the time, and about 18,000 people attended across the two days.

They premiered “Purikyukyu” and the first-anniversary song “Shooting Star” at the show. The set added new songs to those performed on the tour, for a total of 19. Across the full tour, which visited 12 cities for 15 shows, attendance reached about 48,000.

“Love Train” combined departure sounds with choreography evoking a train, while “Tagenteki Koufukuron” showcased ballad-style expression. The audience was also allowed to record video during part of “Kawaii sagashite kuremasu ka?” This was a specific moment announced at that concert; it does not mean every song can be filmed at other live shows.

The members’ comments also reflected the experience of touring nationwide. Haruka Sakuraba said pink penlights and T-shirts made her feel supported, while Kana Itakura recalled how the atmosphere varied from place to place. The first-anniversary concert brought together not only songs and dances, but also colors in the audience and memories from each region.

The arena is at 3-2-2 Minatomirai, Nishi-ku, Yokohama, about a seven-minute walk from Minatomirai Station and an eight-minute walk from Sakuragicho Station. Visitors can generally see the exterior, and there is also a café on the second floor with a separate entrance.

Nippon Budokan | The stage where all eight marked their second anniversary

Two visitors walking from Kitanomaru Park in autumn toward the octagonal roof of Nippon Budokan

On August 25 and 26, 2026, CUTIE STREET held its second-anniversary concerts at Nippon Budokan. About 20,000 people attended over the two days. The venue marked another milestone after their first solo concert at Toyosu PIT and first-anniversary show at Pia Arena MM the year before.

The concerts were titled “8TREASURES.” The audience surrounded a 360-degree stage. When the central monitor rose, the eight members appeared and opened the show with “Kyuto na Kyutai.” They performed all 27 songs released since debut, bringing together two years of music.

Emiru Kawamoto said Nippon Budokan had been a dream since the group formed and expressed gratitude for realizing it with their fans. She also named Tokyo Dome and the Kōhaku Uta Gassen as future goals. At Budokan, the eight who had announced their next venue at Toyosu spoke about both a dream they had achieved and the ones ahead.

The venue is at 2-3 Kitanomaru Park, Chiyoda City, Tokyo, about a five-minute walk from Kudanshita Station. Visitors can generally view the exterior from Kitanomaru Park; entry to the building follows the conditions for each event or program.

Learn more about CUTIE STREET | The KAWAII created by eight members and the audiences they met across Japan

As venues grew from Toyosu PIT to halls in 12 cities, then Pia Arena MM and Nippon Budokan, the group also put its own idea of “KAWAII” and its relationship with audiences into words. The concept, members’ comments, and unit configurations at Budokan are outlined below.

Eight “KAWAII MAKERS” with different ages and backgrounds

CUTIE STREET was formed through Asobi System’s idol project, KAWAII LAB. Its executive producer is Misa Kimura. After several months of performance evaluations and audition camps, the eight members came together and made their first stage appearance at TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2024 on August 4, 2024.

The group’s concept is “KAWAII MAKER.” The eight members came from different backgrounds—as influencers, actresses, idols, dancers, and students—and aim to share the KAWAII they create themselves with the world from Harajuku. Their debut photoshoot was supervised by the magazine LARME and expressed each member’s individual charm.

The name carries the idea that you can become whoever you want and go wherever you want. “CUTIE” represents the self, while “STREET” represents the places one can go. The group hopes that not only its members but also the people around them will discover the person they want to be. “STREET” also appears in the title of their concert “CROSS STREET.”

In her introduction at the group’s debut, Aika Sano cited her acting background and nine years of dance experience as strengths. Nagisa Manabe introduced herself as being in her first year of both entertainment and idol activities. Risa Furusawa was noted for her skill at making clothes and spoke of her dream of becoming an idol, which she had held since she was eight. Their debut comments show how different the members’ starting points were.

Member names and colors, and the world of “CUTIE LAND”

Member colors can help identify the eight in live photos and videos: Risa Furusawa is yellow; Aika Sano, red; Kana Itakura, mint green; Ayano Masuda, blue; Emiru Kawamoto, orange; Miyu Umeda, light blue; Nagisa Manabe, purple; and Haruka Sakuraba, pink. The pink in the audience that Sakuraba mentioned at Pia Arena MM was also the color of those supporting her.

For a quick introduction to all eight members, “Kyusto no Uta” is a good place to start. It is not a song in which they introduce themselves, but one in which the members introduce one another. The debut profiles and the introduction song released after a year together offer different ways to get to know the group.

On September 23, 2026, their first nationwide arena tour, “CUTIE LAND,” opened at Yokohama Arena. The show created a theme-park-like world filled with cute and favorite things, with the members welcoming visitors as its residents. At the Yokohama show, they performed 25 songs, including three new tracks and songs that varied by date, and brought a cart closer to the audience.

“Gohoubi Shiyo!” was released and performed for the first time that day. It is a song for people working hard at school, work, and other parts of life, offering time to enjoy cute things. The eight who announced their next venue at Toyosu and spoke of future dreams at Budokan created a whole world to share with visitors on the arena tour.

Their first album, also titled CUTIE LAND, is scheduled for release on December 2, 2026. As of October, the tour had begun, while the album was still forthcoming. When checking its track list and video extras, distinguish shows that have already taken place from products that have not yet been released to understand where the group is now.

Budokan unit songs performed by groups of five and three

At the second-anniversary Budokan concerts, the members performed songs as all eight and unit songs in smaller groups. “Crush on you” was performed by Aika Sano, Kana Itakura, Ayano Masuda, Nagisa Manabe, and Haruka Sakuraba.

“I Amai Me Mind” was performed by Risa Furusawa, Emiru Kawamoto, and Miyu Umeda. The number and combination of singers changes even within the same group’s concert. Listeners can compare how the voices and stage positions differ between songs performed by all eight and those performed by a unit.

The group premiered “Top of the top” at Budokan and also performed its second-anniversary song, “TREASURES.” The 27-song set included not only songs they had already performed, but also new songs introduced for the milestone. The concert looked back on the group’s two years while showing what it could do next.

Learn more about the songs | The continuation of “cute,” songwriters, and changing live performances

Since the debut song “Kawaii Dake ja Dame Desu ka?,” the group’s music has grown to include a sequel, a song introducing one another, a ballad, and tracks written by artists from bands. Here we organize the background of songs premiered at concerts and the differences in tracks across CD editions.

From “Kawaii Dake ja Dame Desu ka?” to its sequel

“Kawaii Dake ja Dame Desu ka?” is the group’s debut song, released digitally on September 9, 2024. Lyrics were written by Hirotaka Hayakawa; music was composed by Hirotaka Hayakawa and Toshihiko Watanabe; and choreography was by SACO MAKITA.

The first single CD, bearing the same title (KLC-90001–90003), was released on November 13. The digital release and CD came out on different dates, and the music video was released in October. Depending on whether someone first encountered the song as audio or video, they may have discovered it at different times.

The track list differs by CD edition. The regular edition includes “Hello Hello Mirai” and “Hitamuki Cinderella!”; the first-press limited edition includes “Kai,” and the CUTIE STREET edition includes “daylight.” If you want to hear the cooler songs from their first solo concert at Toyosu, check which edition contains them.

“Kawaii sagashite kuremasu ka?” arrived in August 2025, and Manabe introduced it as a sequel. While the earlier title asks whether being cute is enough, the follow-up invites someone else to find the cuteness that can be hard to see in yourself. At Sun Azalea, she explained that even things people think of as shortcomings can be cute.

At Pia Arena MM, the audience was allowed to record video during part of the sequel. Fans who discovered the group through short videos of the debut song can also see all eight dancing to the follow-up and the audience’s response in the tour recording. It is a song accompanied both by the explanation of its meaning and a record of how it was performed on stage.

aribobo’s song and “Haru Flake” for new beginnings

The lyrics and music for “Chikyuu Make Up Keikaku,” premiered at Toyosu PIT, were written by aribobo of the rock band Yabai T-Shirts Yasan. Learning the songwriter’s name can also lead to curiosity about the people who help create the group’s music.

“Haru Flake,” performed that day as well, was introduced as an encouragement song for people working hard in a new environment. The first solo concert was held in February, and the song also reached people preparing to enter new environments as spring approached. Connecting the concert date with the song’s theme makes the set list more vivid.

Along with the other new song, “Chotto Hitosaji,” CUTIE STREET performed three new songs at Toyosu. The concert video lets viewers see where those songs appeared in the flow from the debut single onward. Unlike a standalone music video, a live recording lets listeners encounter the songs as part of the whole show.

Get to know another side through member introductions and a ballad

“Kyusto no Uta” is not only a song in which members say their own names, but one in which they introduce one another. It was released on the first day of the national tour, as the group set out to meet audiences in new cities.

The tour also introduced the group’s first ballad, “Tagenteki Koufukuron.” For those who started listening with an image of upbeat or cute songs, it offered a different style of singing. At the Pia Arena MM finale, the train departure sound and train-inspired choreography of “Love Train” shared the same show with the ballad’s expressive performance.

“Nice da ne,” performed at Budokan in 2026, was written and composed by Enon Kawatani, while “Discommutant!” was contributed by Nayutalien. The range of collaborators expanded from the creators of the debut song to aribobo, Enon Kawatani, and Nayutalien.

A new song and debut song performed twice in the main set and encore

The Toyosu concert consisted of 10 songs in the main set and two encore songs. It opened with “Hello Hello Mirai” and “Love Train,” followed by “Kai” and “daylight,” then premiered “Chotto Hitosaji.” The group also debuted “Chikyuu Make Up Keikaku” and “Haru Flake,” and closed the main set with “Kawaii Dake ja Dame Desu ka?”

During the encore, they performed “Chikyuu Make Up Keikaku,” premiered earlier that day, once more, and closed with “Kawaii Dake ja Dame Desu ka?” The same song appeared twice during one concert, so the 12 song performances were not all different tracks. Hearing a new song again later in the same show was another distinctive part of the Toyosu concert.

In the main set, “Happy Sekai!,” released in January, linked “Haru Flake” with the final song. Just before “Kawaii Dake ja Dame Desu ka?” began in the encore, a video announcing the first-anniversary concert played on screen. After the eight members’ surprise and the audience’s congratulations, singing the debut song again made for a different kind of ending from the main set.

The video release of the Toyosu concert was announced on the first day of the national tour, which began six months later. As the group’s repertoire grew through more live shows, its early performance was preserved as a release. Fans who discovered the group through its first- or second-anniversary concerts can now see what the eight performed before then.

Field notes | Business perspective: Share the first concert with people who discover the group later

At the first national-tour concert in Wako, CUTIE STREET announced that the Toyosu PIT first solo show would be released as a video. “1st LIVE FILM at Toyosu PIT” includes the main concert on the regular edition, while the first-press limited Blu-ray also includes audio commentary by the members and a photo book. The release made it possible to revisit their starting stage as the group moved on to new shows; the memory of that day is not limited to those who attended in person.

Preserving a performance on video can also give fans who discovered the group later a way to follow its history. When designing a release, presenting the concert itself separately from commentary by the members helps show why fans might choose each. Anniversary concerts and new tours can also point back to a record of the first show. Continuing to introduce earlier releases alongside current activities can help share the history of a group that quickly attracted attention.
