Event Information & Performers
"Kakutouka," a tournament battle event for singers that staged fierce showdowns through 2024–2025. Usually it's an intense fight for the top, but for this one day we set aside judging and winning or losing, and simply enjoy "song" in a relaxed, stylish space. Together with the Yushin Band and several Kakutouka friends who have appeared as "challengers," it will be an appreciation festival where we look back on the journey, sing, and enjoy the moment. Feel free to drop by casually.
Performers: Yushin / Arata Yamamoto (guitar) / Takaaki Shimonojiri (drums) / Goryu Naka (bass) / Tetsuji Nakatsuka (violin) / Hideyuki Okada (synthesizer) / Yukihiro Wakasugi (piano) / Several volunteer performers from Kakutouka 1st & 2nd
