Goro Inagaki, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi (the official spelling of “Nagi” is the old-style character for “bow” with the character for “front” and “sword”), and Shingo Katori performed together for the first time on a music program on “with MUSIC.”
They will perform a special medley of Inagaki’s solo song “SEASONS” and the new song “Madamasa Mirai” by SingTuyo, a unit made up of Kusanagi and Katori. In addition, the three will sing “Ameagari no Step”, which has been appointed as a charity song to support parasports, for the first time on Nippon Television.
There are also plenty of talk parts. This time, the show will feature footage from various Nippon Television programs that Inagaki, Kusanagi, and Katori have appeared on. The three will reveal various episodes while watching the footage.
First up is a photo of Kusanagi, 13 years old at the time, wearing a school uniform while appearing on Hagimoto Kinichi’s show “Kinkirarin 530!!” in 1988.
Furthermore, in a clip from 1996 on the information and sports program “WIN,” where Inagaki was a regular, the two react to the then 23-year-old Inagaki’s mature aura, saying, “He’s precocious” (Kusanagi) and “He’s grown up” (Katori). Inagaki reveals how he felt at the time, saying, “I was really nervous, so to hide that…”
“THE Yomo Hippare” also features footage of Kusanagi and Katori singing H Jungle with t’s song “WOW WAR TONIGHT ~Sometimes Start a Movement~.”
Katori Shingo’s Tensei Shingo (later renamed “Katori Shingo’s Tokujo! Tensei Shingo”) began broadcasting in 1997 and Katori was a regular for about 12 years. The show also featured a rare two-shot conversation between Kusanagi and Katori. The show showed them driving around and talking about what they would be like in 10 years’ time.
Inagaki also revealed a never-before-seen episode about a certain comment Kusanagi made that “still makes me really happy.” Furthermore, from Inagaki’s words, “The two of us used to go to game centers a lot,” it became clear how their strong friendship developed. Kusanagi and Katori looked back on the background of that relationship, saying, “We were both younger than each other” (Kusanagi) and “It was like we were always together” (Katori).
Katori also revealed that after the group disbanded, the three of them talked about what they should do next and “got so excited,” and that he learned a mountain of information about each other’s private lives “in that moment.”
They also answered questions from 150 fans in the studio. When asked what they had for dinner last night, their daily lives were revealed.
■Superfly’s Ochi Shiho reveals her unknown private life and friendships!This will be Superfly’s first performance on “with MUSIC.” They will be singing “Charade,” the theme song for the Saturday drama “Secret Mitsuko-san” on Nippon Television, for the first time on television.
Then, in a street interview, they asked questions and asked about Shiho Ochi. Many of them commented on her powerful singing voice, saying things like, “How can I become a better singer?” and “I want to hear how to hit high notes.” In the studio, Shiho demonstrated her humming, which she says she “always practices before a live performance.” There was also a moment when artist navigator Kohei Matsushita tried to imitate her.
Furthermore, in street interviews, some people expressed curiosity about her private life, saying, “I don’t get to see much of her private life.” To this, she revealed her private life, saying, “I grow vegetables from scratch,” and “I plant seeds for carrots, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, etc.”
There is also a video message from Tomochika, a fellow Ehime native who Shiho has been intimately acquainted with and who she invited to her birthday party. Shiho also talks about her own friendships, including an episode where she and Kiyoe Yoshioka (Ikimonogakari) “showed each other” pictures of their vocal cords.
