Today, May 5th, the final day of the Hiroshima edition of the festival “FukuFest Vol. 4” hosted by Fukuda Akari of STU48, based in the Setouchi, was held at STU48 Hiroshima Theater (Hiroshima Club Quattro) in Hiroshima Prefecture. In the opening act, Fukuda Akari and Ishida Chiho appeared, and Ishida started off in a gorgeous way with the first song, “Love is Fake Illness,” and Ishida sang the opening lyrics “I’m Sorry!”, and Fukuda replied, “Cause I miss you!”, apologising for suddenly suspending the performance the day before. The venue was even more lively as the performance showed the bonds they had as first generation members. Next, in his opening speech, Fukuda began livening up the venue with passionate words, “Thank you for coming today. Following yesterday and the day before yesterday, today is the final day of the Hiroshima edition. Don’t let the excitement of the Flower Festival come out and have fun all day! Artists from all over the country gathered here. It’s definitely the most fun, so today is the hottest day!”
In his collaboration with LOOSELY, he performed “Cobalt” and in the MC, he also made fans laugh by saying, “Nice to meet you.” When B-CHANG said, “Thank you for knowing this song,” Fukuda said, “I love this song and I made a request. When I requested it, adults asked me, “Why do you know it?”, but I listened to it on my Walkman many times,” and livened up the audience by looking back at the nostalgic times.
In collaboration with SHIMA, they performed “Susure-Remenber.” The following THE BOYS&GIRLS stage began with the chorus of STU48’s “Hetare Tachiyo,” which attracted STU48’s fans, and the song also mixed with Fukuda’s little jokes, drawing the audience into THE BOYS&GIRLS’s unique worldview. When Fukuda appeared and co-starred in “Not Voice,” the excitement in the venue reached its peak.
Sex machine! ! In collaboration with the group, they sang powerfully “Love Songs that even monkeys can understand.” During the chorus, the venue was even more lively.
Village Man’s Store appeared and said, “Fukuda-san, it seems like he loves you, so thank you for choosing us,” and the audience laughed and created a sense of unity, creating a collaboration with Fukuda’s requested song, “Adie Hady,” which captured the hearts of the audience.
In his collaboration with DJ Dinoji, Fukuda attempts to play the air guitar. In addition, several STU48 members appeared on stage and livened up the venue as dancers to match the DJ’s rhythm.
HIPPY enthusiastically said, “FukuFest! This is a cheer song dedicated to STU48.FukuFest is the best!” and shook hands with Fukuda, sharing a passionate high-five with him, and co-starring in “Super Song Dedicated to You.”
On STU48’s stage, Utsumi Rione squealed, “This is the last stage, and I’m happy to see so many band fans too! Band fans, don’t underestimate the idols! Make more noise!” and cheers erupted from the audience. Okada Azumi continued, “I’ve been the first player today as the Shikoku Tourism Ambassador, and I’ve been the first player today, but there are many familiar faces from eight hours ago. Everyone looks great! They’re finished! Don’t show any signs of fatigue until the end, and get excited!” Finally, Fukuda expressed his gratitude, “Thank you so much for playing with us at Fukufes Vol. 4 for a long time. The next session will be held in Shibuya on May 16th, so please come and visit us. I usually work as an idol, but I was happy that customers who don’t know the idols can see it through my favorite music. I would like to continue playing Fukufes in the future, so please write a lot of reviews on social media that say “Fukufes was the best”! Next time, I’d be happy if more customers said “I came because it was good reviews” were coming.” The audience echoed from the audience, and the curtain came on the final day of Fukufes Vol. 4 Hiroshima arc.
