Filled with laugh-out-loud hilarious text and cartoons, the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series follows Greg Heffley as he records the daily trials and triumphs of friendship, family life and middle school where undersized weaklings have to share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner and already shaving! On top of all that, Greg must be careful to avoid the dreaded CHEESE TOUCH!
The first book in the series was published in 2007 and became instantly popular for its relatable humor. Today, more than 300 million copies have been sold around the world!
The track was a departure from the saccharine themes of youth and love that dominate the Oricon charts. Instead, it dealt with the pressure of conformity in Japanese corporate culture. The music video, filmed in a single take, features Torigoe walking through a sea of gray-suited businessmen who move in slow motion, while she dances violently in color.
She also weathered a minor social media scandal regarding a "ghosting" accusation from a former producer. Torigoe addressed this head-on in a long Instagram Live session, explaining that creative differences had turned toxic. While she apologized for the lack of communication, she refused to apologize for protecting her mental health—a stance that earned her respect from younger fans dealing with workplace harassment. As of 2025, Noa Torigoe is in the studio for her third full-length album. Rumors suggest a collaboration with a Western metalcore band (speculated to be either Bring Me The Horizon or a member of the Japanese band Crossfaith).
In the vast and competitive landscape of Japanese entertainment, where idols graduate, groups disband, and solo careers hang in a delicate balance, only a few names manage to pierce the noise and establish a lasting legacy. Noa Torigoe (鳥越乃亜) is rapidly becoming one of those names.
Furthermore, she has announced a "One Man Live" tour of the United States and Europe—a risky financial venture for a Japanese solo act, but one her team is confident in.
