[Report]Nogizaka46 Shiori Kubo is thrilled at her first school festival, saying it was a “dream come true”! “All Night Nippon” event where Haruka Kaki and Kazu Inoue also appeared

■wacci and MONKEY MAJIK will also perform as guests!

Nippon Broadcasting System’s “Nogizaka46’s All Night Nippon” (Wednesdays: 25:00-27:00) is a radio program in which Nogizaka46’s Shiori Kubo serves as a personality. The first program event “Nogizaka46’s All Night Nippon presents Shiori Kubo’s Youth Cultural Festival in Yokohama Arena” was held on January 25th.

With the theme of “youth” and the concept of a cultural festival, the guests became members of various club activities, and the 12,000 listeners who gathered at the venue were able to enjoy their youth.

The theme of the event to be held at Yokohama Arena on January 25th is “Youth”, which is also in the title. Kubo, who started his activities as a member of Nogizaka46 in his third year of junior high school, did not experience much “youth” during his school life.

Therefore, in the program, he said, “I’m hungry for memories of my youth related to school life!” “I wanted to experience the school festival in high school…”
Therefore, it was decided to hold a one-day “Youth Cultural Festival” with the event concept of “school cultural festival”.

When the event started, Kubo appeared on a bicycle. There is a pile of cardboard on the bicycle, and a small play appears, saying, “It’s heavy! I told everyone to go get the cardboard! There’s no one to help me.” It seems like they’re preparing for a school festival.

Furthermore, as they walked around the perimeter, they immediately raised the excitement of the venue with call-and-response phrases such as, “Hey boys! Are you into sex!?” “Girls are cute! They’re ladylike, but… they can be fun!?”

The “cultural festival” started with Kubo’s shout, “Let’s get excited!”

While riding around the perimeter on a trolley, Kubo energetically sang the song “My SunShine,” which he often listened to in his youth and served as the event’s theme song.

In line with the concept of a cultural festival, guests with ties to Kubo and the program will appear as “members of various club activities” at the event.

The first members of the “broadcasting club” to appear are Principal Komori (Jun Komori/GENERATIONS), Vice Principal Angie (Angelina 1/3/Gacharic Spin), and Vice Principal COCO (CRAZY COCO) from “SCHOOL OF LOCK!” (TOKYO FM). ), Haruka Kaki (Nogizaka46), Kazu Inoue (Nogizaka46).

Here, a special project that transcends the boundaries of stations has been realized: “All Night Nippon vs. SCHOOL OF LOCK! Intro song introduction showdown”.

“Introducing songs” is one of the areas where you can show off your skills as a geo personality. This time, the current three members of Nogizaka46 were rudely told, “If it’s a Nogizaka46 song, we should be able to introduce the song without being told the song title and the number of seconds of the intro in advance!”, but the 4th generation members ‘s song “Jumping Joker Flash”, Kubo answered before 4th generation member Kaki, and Inoue gave a wonderful introduction with his own center song “Cheat Day”, and the two never backed down.

In the end, Principal Komori became the answerer, but once again Kaki was unable to answer the center song “Monopoly” and Kubo got the point, resulting in “All Night Nippon” winning.

As a punishment, Kaki and Inoue were to read the broadcast of “All Night Nippon,” and this broadcast was to be aired on Nippon Broadcasting from now on.

Next, in the “Chorus Club,” Kubo sang “Letter ~Dear Fifteen Kimi e~” with the listeners. In order to surprise the listeners with piano accompaniment in this corner, Kubo returned to his parents’ house during the year-end and New Year holidays with a keyboard, and even after returning to Tokyo, a video of Kubo continuing to practice was played on the VTR, and from the venue “Oh!” a voice of surprise goes up.

However, Kubo is not the only one who has been practicing. Ever since it was announced that there would be a chorus, the listeners have been practicing singing, and Kubo, who heard the singing during the test before the actual performance, was already in tears.

“I’m not in the mood to cry right now!” she says, wiping away her tears, and calling out to the listeners, “I might stop sometimes, but I’d be happy if everyone could support me!”

During the actual performance, Kubo’s wonderful accompaniment and singing voice filled the venue. Finally, she couldn’t hold back any more tears and said, “I could really hear everyone’s voices!” “It was my dream to sing in the chorus, so it was amazing to have it come true at Yokohama Arena!” and applauded for himself and the listeners. , the listeners also praised Kubo and gave a big round of applause.

After stirring the venue in a whirlpool of emotion, there was a live performance by wacci from the “light music club”.

Kubo has long been a fan of Wacci, and this was his first time co-starring with them. Such wacci shows off “I became someone else’s girlfriend” and “feelings”.
Dew. “Kojo” was the song that Kubo said he wanted to hear the most, so he enjoyed the live performance sitting in the audience seats instead of on the wings of the stage.

Kubo returned to the stage and expressed his joy and gratitude, saying, “You came just because I love you. Thank you!”

Furthermore, when I said, “wacci-san’s songs have supported me,” vocalist/guitarist Yohei Hashiguchi added, “We are the demons of Egosa (lol).” We have been encouraged every time we see him. I’m glad to be able to meet him today,” he said, expressing his gratitude to Kubo.

Kubo and wacci collaborated on “It’s Okay”, a song that Kubo particularly likes and is so fond of that he says, “If it wasn’t for this song, I wouldn’t be here right now.”

Furthermore, at wacci’s request, “We want to sing Nogizaka46’s songs too!”, they also sang “Hasare! Bicycle” together. There was a lot of excitement from the listeners as well.

After exciting the venue with music, it was time to laugh. Sandwich Man (Mikio Date, Takeshi Tomizawa) from the “Comedy Study Group” appeared in his school uniform and made fun of Kubo for crying too much in the previous corner, and said that the apparel for the event did not have large sizes, etc. Expand your talk.

Kubo, who had changed into a sailor suit, joined them, and since they were from the same hometown, they also talked about the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles.

Kubo and Sandwich Man decide to do a skit together. However, since Sandwich Man was unable to participate in the rehearsal as he had appeared on a live broadcast of Nippon Broadcasting System’s “Sandwich Man The Radio Show Saturday” before the event, Kubo said, “I can’t just do a skit all of a sudden!” ” he expressed his anxiety.

However, Kubo is a hard worker. He memorized the flow of the skit on the spot and performed a wonderful exchange. Kubo felt a sense of pleasure and even joined in on Sandwich Man’s favorite joke, “Hijack,” which filled the audience with laughter.

Next, the “Drama Club” will feature a newly written performance written and directed by Makoto Ueda (European Planning), who is familiar with Kubo from the movie “River, Don’t Flow” and the stage play “The Night Is Short, Walk on Maiden.” It was performed with Arata Furuta and members of Europe Planning.

“Kubo Time Machine Blues”
Shiori Kubo was in a good mood at the youth school festival. A time machine appeared there. The person on board was the future Shiori Kubo (Arata Furuta)! Future Kubo has turned into a monster, and says, “The reason he became this way is because he never experienced true youth.”

Thinking that such an event is a hoax, future Kubo points in the direction of the high school Kubo was supposed to attend and its students (Europe Planning members). Kubo heads to the past in a time machine to experience “real youth.”

Next, in the “Design Department” corner, Kubo introduced the goods he made for the event.

Kuroko was helping Kubo hand over the goods, but the T-shirt he was given at the end had a picture of cilantro on it, which was not included in the goods… As merchandise from “Ninety-Nine’s All Night Nippon Song Festival” held in 2024 continues to appear, Kuroko’s true identity is revealed to be Takashi Okamura.

Hiroyuki Yabe also appeared on stage, which was a surprise for Kubo as well, and he let out a surprised cry along with the audience. “I also saw the skit with Sandwich Man,” says Nainai, who was watching Kubo’s heroic performance from the wings of the stage.

Kubo and Nai Nai have interacted a lot through “All Night Nippon,” and with the intention of continuing that interaction in 2025, Okamura asked, “What do you want to eat this year? Tell me what you really like.”

Kubo’s surprising answer was “potatoes,” and Okamura said with a wry smile, “I wonder if I can grow them on the balcony (lol).”

Closing the event will be MONKEY MAJIK from the “light music club”. He is an artist that Kubo highly respects, partly because of his connection to Miyagi Prefecture.

They first captured the listeners’ emotions with their signature songs “Around The World” and “Together.” For Kubo, MONKEY MAJIK’s music is something that has been with him forever. “Ever since I was little, when I turned on the TV, MONKEY MAJIK’s music was playing.I’m really happy to be able to stand on the same stage as the Youth Cultural Festival!”, he said with emotion.

He then said, “I’m afraid, but can I sing with you?” and collaborated with MONKEY MAJIK to sing “Tada, Thank you.”

In addition, Kubo will sing “Rainbow Fish -English version-“, which has been used as the ending song since he became the personality of “Nogizaka46’s All Night Nippon”.

This is the first time MONKEY MAJIK will perform this “English version” live. Being able to sing such a precious song together, Kubo said with a big smile, “Many dreams came true today, to be able to sing with MONKEY MAJIK, a big star in Miyagi prefecture!”, with a big smile and jumping up and down with his whole body. He was expressing his joy.

Today’s guest appears on stage again, and we move on to the ending.

All the performers were wearing “Zunda-colored” Kubo class T-shirts, and Kubo couldn’t stop shouting out his thanks.

We ask each of them their thoughts, and when Furuta says, “Shiori is really amazing. She was able to fill such a large venue,” all the other performers nod.

It was also announced that Furuta and Ueda will appear as guests on “Nogizaka46’s All Night Nippon” which will be broadcast on February 5th. On the day of the event, we plan to look back on the behind-the-scenes stories of the event.

Finally, Kubo once again expressed his gratitude to the guests and listeners, saying, “Thank you for the wonderful memories!” He continued, “The program is
Thanks to your connections, I was able to attend the first cultural festival of my life. I’ll never forget today. Being able to spend time together,
I’ll never forget it until I die! ” message.

Furthermore, to ensure that this would not be the last school festival, they encouraged the listeners to say, “This is a statement of our determination to hold another school festival,” and “we still have a lot of youth,” and “I want to bask in it!”

Afterwards, Kubo remained alone on stage and looked back on the event. Talking about his background that led to this school festival, he said, “I am truly a happy person.It is thanks to all the listeners that I was able to make my dream of participating in the school festival come true, which never came true. “All Night Nippon” was prepared for me.If you ask me what my turning point was, I would definitely say that it was becoming the personality of “All Night Nippon.” Share your thoughts.

He continued, “From now on, I will continue to be myself, sometimes acting like a cat, getting angry with the listeners, fighting with the staff…but I want to get along and have fun, and spend my youth in the place called radio.” concluded the event.

The event will be broadcast repeatedly on Saturday, February 1st. Check the event homepage for details.
