LIVE
Live shows and events are a big part of Minorin’s career – her live prowess, evidenced by a stunning voice, energetic performances and elaborate costumes, has enhanced her reputation and as a result Minorin is a much sought after guest performer for TV shows and concerts both within and outside of Japan.
From humble beginnings in small live houses with limited capacity (LIVE HOUSE TOKYO for example, accommodates around 300 people), Minorin has been expanding to bigger venues and halls as her popularity increases. The following is a chronological list of live events, as well as promotional campaigns that she has been taken part in over the years.
