Novel Core closed his 'PERFECTLY DEFECTiVE TOUR 2026' on June 26 at Tokyo's Toyosu PIT, a show that featured a 'mixture floor' with zones for moshing, seated viewing, and families. During the encore, he announced the 'BLACK TiE TOUR 2026' live house tour, which will cover five cities for eight performances starting October 15. The tour announcement follows a period of arena-level shows and a national tour, indicating sustained activity.
Alongside his touring, Novel Core has been closely tied to the hit film Namashi, which stars Jiro Sato and has earned over 250 million yen across 117 theaters. Novel Core performed the theme song 'Name' and released a music video for it on May 24, which he directed and edited himself, incorporating previously unseen footage from the film. The video shows fragments of the protagonist's past and the moment he becomes a monster, expanding the story beyond the theatrical cut.
On June 10, Novel Core appeared alongside Sato at a stage greeting at kino cinéma Shinjuku in Tokyo, where they discussed the songwriting process and times they almost gave up in life. The event paired the actor-writer and the musician in a rare public conversation about the film's difficult creation and their personal struggles, giving context to the movie's success.
