Shiggy Jr., a four-piece band that reunited four and a half years after disbanding in 2019, will perform at Billboard Live.
Formed in December 2012 by Tomoko Ikeda (Vo.) and Shigeyuki Harada (Gt./Vo.). From February 2014, the group became the current four-member group with the addition of Natsuhiko Mori (Ba.) and Kazuma Moroishi (Dr.), and made their major debut with the single “Summer Time Love” in June 2015. He plays pop music that appeals to a wide range of listeners while freely traversing sounds such as guitar rock, electro pop, and even Motown sound and blue-eyed soul, and has also been in charge of tie-ups with numerous dramas, anime, and commercials. In June of this year, they held a “reunion live” at Shibuya WWW I accomplished it.
The four of them have appeared on the Billboard Live stage since 2016, when they appeared at the event “LIVE FREELY SPECIAL vol.2” held in Tokyo. This will be their first time on stage in Yokohama and Osaka, and a special performance is planned, including rearrangements and covers that will only be available for this day. Please look forward to our reunion with Shiggy Jr., who has grown up a little since those days, and the celebration performance to elegantly celebrate the arrival of the new year.
[Comment from Tomoko Ikeda (Shiggy Jr.)]
It was the first time we entered the studio after reuniting, and when we talked about the most memorable live performance we’ve ever performed, all four of us said the one at Billboard Live.
A few days after I was daydreaming that it would be great to be able to perform live again, and that the next one would be a one-man show, I received a booking notification, and Shiggy’s member LINE was buzzing with the miracle…!
As fate would have it, this live show was decided, and we would like to deliver a slightly different, adult live show for that day only! So, everyone, please come and visit us. ☆
[Comment from Shigeyuki Harada (Shiggy Jr.)]
I think this will be a one-of-a-kind live show, with songs and arrangements unique to the Billboard Live atmosphere, and covers that we don’t usually do! I hope you enjoy the stage, which is different from the live house!
[Comment from Natsuhiko Mori (Shiggy Jr.)]
More than ten years have passed since Shiggy Jr. was formed.
We used to be as fresh and sparkling as freshly picked fruit, but over time we have become a little more mature and mature.
I started scattering Kaholi.
I was so happy that I received this offer at such a timing that I felt a little younger.
On that day, we are planning to deliver a different Shiggy Jr. than usual.
Let’s enjoy a special night with exquisite food and delicious drinks.
[Comment from Kazuma Moroishi (Shiggy Jr.)]
We will be performing at Billboard Live again!
It is a great honor for us to be able to stand in this sacred place of music once again, as we have started walking again in unison.
We are preparing special Shiggy Jr. such as rear arrangement and cover for the coming days.
Let’s have a night where everyone can enjoy music and feel like they’re more grown up than usual!
