🎉 That’s right, Traja-Tan — The Brain Tiger has returned!! 🐯🧠
I am so, so, SO excited to hear that Noel Kawashima (川島如恵留) is back with Travis Japan! His hiatus was completely understandable, and I’ll always be an advocate for prioritizing mental health, so I’m truly glad he took the time to focus on his well-being. 💜
Noel’s dedication to TJ—and to his craft—is unmatched. He lives, breathes, and dreams this group. When I saw them perform in Tokyo this past January, while the show was absolutely incredible and every member shined, there was no denying that something was missing. His energy. That spark. That special magic only Noel brings. ✨
And now—he’s back.

I cannot wait to see him live in Anaheim on 27 July 2025, for the VIIsual World Tour. This will be my fourth time seeing them live, and watching them continue to grow as artists, performers, and individuals has been such a joy.
Welcome back, Noel. 🤍 Your fans have missed you more than words can say. We’re ready, we’re cheering, and we’ll be with you every step of the way.
Travis Japan is whole again. 🫶 Excuse me while I happy dance.
There will be more Travis Japan soon so…
Stay Tuned!
