KIHOW of Myth & Roid Brings High‑Voltage Anime Energy to Ottawa This April

Anime Ottawa is about to deliver one of its most electrifying nights yet. On Saturday, April 4, fans will pack the EY Centre for a special live concert headlined by KIHOW, the powerhouse vocalist of the internationally acclaimed Japanese pop‑rock group Myth & Roid. Tickets go on sale this Saturday, March 7, for just $12 — a rare chance to see one of anime music’s most dynamic voices in an intimate, high‑energy setting.

For those who follow anime soundtracks, Myth & Roid needs no introduction. The group has carved out a global following with a sound that fuses the emotional pull of classic J‑pop with the futuristic edge of electronic rock. Even their name reflects that duality: “myth” for the past, “android” for the future. KIHOW’s soaring vocals sit at the centre of that blend, giving the band its unmistakable emotional punch.

Ottawa fans can expect a setlist packed with hits from some of the biggest anime franchises of the last decade. Myth & Roid’s music has powered unforgettable moments in Re:Zero, Overlord, Made in Abyss, Boogiepop and Others, BBK/BRNK, Cautious Hero, Isekai Quartet, Isekai Cheat Magician, and Arknights: Perish in Frost. These are the songs that have become anthems for the isekai era — dramatic, cinematic, and instantly recognizable to anyone who has spent late nights binging their favourite series.

KIHOW’s live performances are known for their intensity: emotional ballads that hit like a punch to the chest, followed by adrenaline‑charged anthems that shake the room. With the EY Centre’s massive space and Anime Ottawa’s production scale, the concert promises to be one of the standout events of the convention weekend.

For longtime fans, it’s a rare chance to hear the voice behind some of anime’s most iconic themes. For newcomers, it’s an introduction to one of Japan’s most innovative musical acts — a group that continues to push the boundaries of what anime music can be.

Anime Ottawa has built a reputation for bringing top‑tier talent to the capital, and this year’s headliner continues that tradition. Whether you’re a die‑hard Myth & Roid fan or simply love the energy of live anime music, this is a night you won’t want to miss.

Tickets for the KIHOW concert on Saturday, April 4, at 8:00 p.m., at the EY Centre are going fast!
