[EVENT] Paint the Town: Welcome to at Rie fu Asia Tour 2015

Known for her songs, “Life is like a boat” (Bleach), “Anata ga Koko ni Iru Riyuu” (D.Grayman), and “ I want to Go to a Place” (Gundam Seed Destiny), Japanese singer/songwriter Rie fu is back in the music scene with a series of one-man live shows. “Welcome to at Rie TOUR 2015” will begin on 10 April 2015 in Kyoto, Japan. The tour will head down for a few stops in Japan before heading to other Asian countries like Hong Kong, China and Singapore.

Rie fu has come a long way since her debut in 2004. She has since released 7 studio albums and 14 singles. Her latest album “I” was released on 12 November 2014. Currently, Rie fu has relocated her activities in Singapore. She recently sang live at J-Obsessions 2015 held at The Cathay on 15 Mar 2015.

For her stint in Singapore, she will be holding a special exhibition entitled “Growing Singapore: Construction Site Paintings” at the Japan Creative Center on 24 April 2015 – 9 May 2015. The exhibition holds several of her paintings of what can understandably be one of the most unexpected and overlooked places – the construction site. She draws inspiration from her surroundings and captures it believing that the radiancy of these colours and energy from  each site is impacted by a country’s economy and architectural growth. She has drawn more than 100 paintings of construction sites around the world.

Along with her exhibition, an acoustic live will be held on 24 April 2015 and on 9 May 2015 at Japan Creative Centre (JCC).
