Based on the question “What is your wedding song?” asked in street interviews, we will introduce famous love songs that colored the Showa and Heisei eras, and also take a look inside a Reiwa wedding to introduce the latest wedding songs.

In a live performance from NHK Hall, Tatsuya Ishii covers Yuzo Kayama’s wedding song “Kimi to Itsumademo.” It will be interesting to see how he expresses the famous line, “I’m so happy.”

Cho Tokimeki▽Publicity Department will perform Nishino Kana’s “Torisetsu” with a special choreography just for this performance (choreography by Makita Saeko). Fuji Ayako will sing “Kosou” by her idol Yamaguchi Momoe. Hiramatsu Airi will appear on “Utacon” for the first time in six years and perform the wedding song of the Heisei era, “Heya to Y-shirt to Watashi.” At the beginning of the show, Fuse Akira will sing his signature song “My Way.” Also appearing will be the Touken Danshi formation of On Steiji, Tatsumi Yuto, and HY, who will perform popular songs.
