Showa pop group “SHOW-WA”, produced by Yasushi Akimoto, released their major debut single “Kimi no Oujisama” on September 4th, ranking 2nd on the Oricon weekly singles rankings on September 16th!
It took first place in the weekly Enka and Kayo single rankings (dated September 16th), achieving the highest number of points in several years.
In 2023, we will hold the “Don’t give up on your dreams! Audition” with the theme of “Reviving Showa-era pop music in the Reiwa era and invigorating Japan.”
“SHOW-WA” is an adult group selected from over 3,000 people who sing mainly Showa-era mood songs.
Having suddenly appeared on the enka music scene, they gradually climbed the cable request rankings (enka) from early August, and finally jumped to number one on the chart dated September 4th.
It also reached second place in the Billboard JAPAN “Top Singles Sales” on September 11th, garnering attention not only in the enka music scene but all over Japan.
You can see this in the looks on the faces of the fans.
The release events for “Your Prince” have been held all around the country since July, with many fans spanning three generations flocking to the event after seeing it on Fuji TV’s “Poka Poka.” At the event held at Ario Hashimoto (Kanagawa Prefecture) on September 8, the final day of the release week, over 1,000 fans celebrated the debut together.
SHOW-WA is aiming to participate in the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen as part of a program project.
We will be keeping a close eye on their movements this year.
