HONK THE HORN Returns From Rest With a 97-Minute Late-Night Singing Stream

RK MUSIC — HONK THE HORN, a singer with RK Music’s 12KMN LABEL who calls themself a deer, held a 97-minute late-night singing stream, or *utawaku*, in the early hours of Friday in Japan. The singer said a long rest had left their voice in good shape, and the set bore that out in the singer’s own account: they said they could reach high falsetto lines and low male-vocal parts alike.

The singer opened by greeting the small late-night crowd, calling it a rare slot, and said they had meant to keep the night short. They mentioned a recent appearance at Kagura’s live, then sang the first song after searching for it on the spot. Through the night the setlist ranged from quiet ballads to a loud, driving finale, and the singer stopped between songs to say how much they enjoyed singing whatever they liked. A low-register number drew the remark that it was “today’s limit” before chat cheered the deep voice.

“I really got to rest properly. Thanks to that, my voice is coming out great right now.” — HONK THE HORN, near the end of the stream

Between songs the singer talked about being worn out in recent weeks, resting heavily and now eating well, and said they would like to do a 3D stream at home someday. They also teased viewers about Halloween the next day, insisting they had nothing planned. They said they were still choosing a solo cover for a January project, asked chat for requests, and pointed viewers to a hashtag for messages meant for the singer. They thanked viewers who sent four Super Chats at that hour.

The singer told viewers that the second-round presale for their first solo live opens Nov. 1 at 6 p.m. and is decided by lottery, saying they badly wanted fans to come and that the venue’s capacity was the limit. They also said a stream they had missed after oversleeping would be held in early November. The stream closed shortly after the singer thanked viewers, and chat answered with applause and goodnights.
