STU48 member Yuraku Ikeda held a special live concert at Yume Town Fukuyama. He also announced that starting August 25th (Sunday), all Yume Town and Yume Mart stores will be playing “Hello Yume Town” sung by Ikeda.
This time, STU48 member Ikeda Yuraku was chosen to sing the original song “Hello Yume Town” for the commercial facility “Yume Town” with stores in the Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu regions, and the supermarket “Yume Mart”, and held a special live concert at Yume Town Fukuyama in Hiroshima Prefecture. The first part started with an anime song that is familiar to children. “I chose the song ‘Make Your Dreams Come True, Doraemon’ in honor of Yume Town. I sang it with the feeling that I want to be popular with everyone, just like Doraemon,” he commented, capturing the hearts of children. In the MC, he said, “Six years ago, before I joined STU48, this is the place where I first stood at Yume Town Fukuyama for an Actors School event. I’m happy to be able to stand here again today, having grown a little, as I’m able to stand here by myself.” After getting excited about the behind-the-scenes stories of “Chidori no Oni Renchan,” MC Satake made a ridiculous request for her to do side-to-side jumps, which she performed to the applause of the audience, saying, “I was being completely serious, but when I think about showing this on TV, I’m starting to get scared.” When she performed “Yume-riki,” the lyrics said, “Let’s get the power of our dreams out,” but instead sang with the feeling, “Let’s go to Yume Town~~🎵.” When she said this, the audience erupted in applause. Finally, she performed the in-store Yume Town BGM “Hello Yume Town,” and MC Satake commented, “What? Is this Ike-chan’s song? It feels right, like my own song.” For the final greeting, Yume Town manager Fukuyama Shirato took to the stage and said, “I was overwhelmed by her singing ability and it captured my heart,” and “There’s a surprise announcement. It has been decided that starting tomorrow, August 25th, “Hello Yume Town” sung by Ike-chan will be played at all “Yume Town” and “Yume Mart” stores. In addition, Ikeda’s in-store announcement will be played. ” Ikeda said, “All stores? I’m so happy. Everyone, please enjoy shopping while listening to me singing “Hello Yume Town.” The event came to a close with the announcement that the next Ikeda Yuraku special live will be held on Saturday, September 21st at Yume City in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture.

I’m Ikeda Yuraku, also known as Ikechan from STU48!
I am really happy to have been given this wonderful opportunity after appearing on the show! I usually go shopping at Yume Town, and the Yume Town Fukuyama Port Mall where I will be performing this time is a memorable place where I sang at an event for the school I attended before joining STU48, so I am very happy to be able to stand here again! I will also be singing Ikechan’s version of “Hello Yume Town,” a song that is familiar to people from Hiroshima! I was really surprised to hear that it will be played in many stores! I sang it with the hope that it will make everyone’s shopping time even happier! It will also be broadcast in the stores! I am very grateful and happy to think that my songs and broadcasts will be played in everyone’s daily lives! I hope you enjoy shopping at Yume Town and support Ikechan!
