The “Sukima Fes” will be broadcast on NHK BS from 9pm on November 30th. Highlights have been announced ahead of the broadcast.

The top batter on the first day was Yuzu. They volunteered to open the event with their “Summer Colors,” and the venue was filled with excitement. Also pay attention to the appearance of the two Sukima Switches watching from their sleeves.

“If Tomorrow Comes” is a collaboration between JUJU and Sukima Switch’s Takuya Ohashi, and there is also a talk where you can see the relationship between the two. SUPER BEAVER will perform “I Call Your Name” with a live feel.

He collaborated with Kobukuro, who is a member of the same duo as Sukima Switch, on the hit song “YELL”. As evening approached, Kazumasa Oda appeared. Starting from the backstage talk and ending with “Love Story wa Sudden” with Sukima Switch, you will be thoroughly immersed in his singing voice and famous songs.

The last stage of the first day was the Sukima Switch stage. A passionate live performance was held at the venue after sunset, including “Kanade.” You can fully enjoy the feeling of being there, including his thoughts on the festival and scenes from backstage.

The second day’s stage started with juniors from the same hometown, the green and yellow society. The hit song “Summertime Cinderella” will be delivered in a fresh collaboration with Ohashi.

According to Sukima Switch’s Shintaro Tsuneta, the second day was “more rock-ish.” Next up was Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, which is popular at festivals overseas. While the venue was filled with excitement, we welcomed Haruko Nagaya of Midori-Yellow Society and collaborated on “Paradise Has No Border.”

As the rain began to fall, the entire venue was enveloped in a magical atmosphere as Sumika and Sukima Switch performed their famous song “Wish.” After that, Ikimonogakari appeared with the force of blowing away the rain. I will play “Boku Note” with respect for Sukima Switch.

Tamio Okuda, who appeared in the evening after the rain had cleared, collaborated with him on “Eeju★Rider” (“yu” is officially written in a circle). There will also be a casual talk with Okuda, who is visiting Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture, where the venue is located, for the first time.

And the last thing that appeared was Sukima Switch. They concluded the two-day Sukima Festival with a live performance of their best, including the hit song “Zenryoku Shonen” and the departure song “Scarlet,” which reflected the couple’s feelings at the time they moved to Tokyo. What did the two of them see after the performance?

In addition, a 135-minute live performance of over 20 songs, filled with hit songs from each artist, will be broadcast. Be sure to check out the videos that can only be seen here, including backstage scenes and interviews.
