The Sato brothers, identical triplets and synchronized acrobatic performers who are the talk of the town for their good looks, held the “Sato Brothers Birthday Event 2024” at SHIBUYA PLEASURE PLEASURE in Tokyo on the 30th.
This was the first birthday event for the Sato brothers and their second real-life event where they could interact with fans after a fan meeting held in April last year, so many fans gathered at the venue.
Before the event started, the eldest son, Ayato, said, “We’ve been practicing a lot more than usual, so we’ll do our best to show the results,” while the second son, Hayato, said, “We want to give back with our best singing and performances,” and the third son, Yoshito, said, “We want to show everyone our growth while having fun,” each of them enthusiastically expressing their enthusiasm.
The MCs for the event will be identical twin comedians, The Touch. This will be the first ever event to feature twins as MCs for a triplets’ birthday event.
After the opening video, the three Sato brothers appeared. They introduced themselves with their familiar YouTube greetings, and the birthday event began.
During the opening talk, the twins The Touch and the triplets Sato Brothers exchanged wonderful words, and when they talked about things that triplets go through, they seemed to empathize with The Touch. As the talk progressed, they tried their hand at The Touch’s material, and the three of them performed “out-of-body experience,” thrilling the audience with their synchronicity that rivaled that of twins.
Next, in a segment titled “Sato Brothers’ Memory Album Talk,” the brothers looked back on their life journeys while projecting their life graphs on the screen. The three looked nervous as some photos were being shown for the first time. When a photo of them when they were born was projected, the audience cheered, “So cute!”. As they looked back on the past while looking at the photos, they sometimes couldn’t recognize the Sato brothers in older photos, which made the MC point it out and made them laugh.
Afterwards, photos were shown of their childhood, when they first started rhythmic gymnastics, when they competed in the Inter-High School Championships, when they first moved to Tokyo, and other photos. As they looked at the photos, they talked about their memories. Fans were thrilled to see the real faces of the Sato brothers in the past.
Next, as a fan participation project, they played a game in which the person who thought of a pose that matched a given theme and synchronized it with the three Sato brothers would win. As triplets, they have telepathic feelings, so it seemed like they would be able to get the poses in sync, but when they struggled to do so, the audience was in an uproar. However, when the theme of a rhythmic gymnastics pose was given, the three of them got the pose in sync, showing off their incredible synchronization.
However, since they were unable to get the poses in sync at the beginning, Ayato had to represent the group and receive the penalty of jumping rope to stimulate their feet, and he couldn’t help but scream out in agony.
At the end of the event, it was time for the live performance that the fans had been waiting for. As the fans stood, the trio said, “We’ve been practicing a lot,” and performed Sukima Switch’s “Kanade.” The fans in the venue were enthralled by the trio’s singing, waving their hands.
After finishing the song, they performed a stunning performance to Shawn Mendes’ “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back,” which combined dance and acrobatics for the first time, and the audience erupted in loud applause and cheers.
After the performance, they seemed surprised when a birthday cake was brought out as a surprise.
We took photos with the fans in the venue with the cake and celebrated together.
Finally, they announced that the Sato brothers will be holding their first bus tour in October, “Bus Tour Vol.1 with the Sato Brothers – Let’s all go to Izu in threes!!” and that they will be holding their first original song competition, “Creators Competition ON LIVE.” The audience erupted in cheers as the Sato brothers took on new challenges and expanded the scope of their activities.
Finally, the Sato brothers expressed their gratitude to the fans who support them on a daily basis, saying, “We prepared this with the desire to express our daily gratitude in a tangible form, and seeing everyone smiling and having fun today has made it a very happy birthday,” and the birthday event came to a close.
After the event ended, the band enjoyed interacting with their fans, chatting with and high-fiving each of them who had come to see them off, as it was their first real event in a while.
In the third part, she performed a reading in her pajamas, which were also the main visual for the event, entertaining the fans who had gathered at the venue with a unique atmosphere.
The Sato brothers are identical triplets with a total of 3.2 million followers on social media.
