Rising K-R&B Star dori Releases Live Collaboration with Furui Riho

In October 2025, rising South Korean R&B singer dori is set to release a live recording of his collaborative track "Sketch" with Japanese singer-songwriter Furui Riho. The special performance was captured during dori's first-ever solo show in Japan, held this past May at Billboard Live Yokohama.

dori, who made his debut in February 2022, has quickly gained recognition for his silky, captivating vocal tone and refined melodic sensibility. His debut single "2 O'CLOCK" has amassed nearly 20 million streams on Spotify and sparked buzz in Japan after being used on TikTok by popular acts.

The live recording, titled dori feat. Furui Riho at Billboard Live, will preserve the emotion of the one-night-only collaboration, where the two artists' distinct voices intertwined on stage. dori speaks with admiration for Furui, calling her "exactly the kind of artist I used to dream about." The project marks the first time Billboard Japan Records is releasing a project from an international artist.
