The idol group STU48, which is based in the seven Setouchi prefectures, held a new performance titled “STU48 SHOWCASE LIVE! 1st-5th” today, November 4th (Monday, holiday) at the STU48 Tokyo Theater in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.
The live house[Club Mixa]directly managed by STU48’s King Records will be renamed[STU48 Tokyo Theater]at the time of this performance, and regular performances will be held from now on as a dedicated theater for STU48.
Today, the first day of the event, will feature Chiho Ishida, Yuka Kurushima, Sayaka Takao, Aoi Hyodo, Akari Fukuda, Nozomi Zhuge, and Ayara Yoshida.
Seven people appeared in the performance, and as the performance title suggests, the performance featured the debut single “Darkness” and the fifth single “Omoreru Koi wo Shio”, starting with the second single coupling “Departure”. They performed “Sweaty Smell”, “Tsuki to Boku to New Me”, and “Ai no Shigai” in quick succession, followed by their early single title songs “Darkness”, “Kaze wo Wait”, and “Sukisakihito”.
Zhuge, a 2.5th generation member who was surrounded by 1st generation members Ishida, Hyodo, and Fukuda in the MC part, was asked about his impressions of the early three singles, and said, “I’ve always liked Darkness’s MV, and Chiho’s facial expressions were really cool.” I like her,” she replied, but Ishida laughed self-deprecatingly and said, “I don’t think there’s anything like that…but where?” Zhuge, who was in a panic, followed up by saying, “You’re cute and I love you,” and Fukuda responded, “You squeezed it out…lol,” which drew laughter from the audience.
Yoshida also said, “I’m sure you’re all aware of this, but we’ve created some super cute new costumes!” Introducing the costumes that were unveiled for the first time today. “It makes me feel like a Pretty Idol! It feels like a girl in winter. This is the only performance where you can see this costume, so please come and see this costume.” He expressed his joy that the costumes were ready.
Next, they performed “Reckless Dreams Never Wake Up”, “Let’s Make a Love to Remember”, and “Seishun Okinen Station Train”.
Fukuda said, “I’m looking forward to seeing which coupling songs will be performed at this SHOWCASE LIVE, so please look forward to future performances.Personally, I have visited this venue many times during Setouchi PR Team SEASON 1.” This was the first time I’d seen an audience since we performed without an audience. I’m so happy! Thank you for coming.
I want to do my best to increase new fans through this performance and connect it to next year’s 8th anniversary concert,” expressing their gratitude to the fans who gathered and their determination to hold the anniversary concert.
The first day of the performance ended with a full performance of “Yumeriki”.

For STU48, who is about to hold the group’s largest anniversary concert, this performance is an “offensive move” in Tokyo to ensure the success of the anniversary concert and the future.
