&TEAM will appear on NHK's 'Venue101' broadcast on April 18. 'Venue101' is a music program that is broadcast live every Saturday at 11 PM from NHK 101 Studio. With the theme 'Live is born on Saturday at 11 PM,' MCs Ryuichi Hamaya and Erika Ikuta, along with guest artists, deliver fun and passionate live performances. Travis Japan, known for their high dance skills, has attracted 310,000 fans during their arena tours in Japan and successfully completed two world tours abroad. They will perform a love song themed on 'white and black' and 'front and back' titled 'In ni mo Hinata ni mo.' In connection with this song, the program will reveal the 'hidden faces' of the members! Surprising sides that only members know will be unveiled. Captain Minami Umezawa of Nogizaka46 is set to graduate next month. She joined as a 3rd generation member in 2016 and has led the group as the 3rd captain since 2023. After the graduation of the 1st and 2nd generation members, she has left many memorable words during her nearly 10 years of activities, including 'We are Nogizaka46' at the final day of the first nationwide tour composed only of 3rd generation members. This time, a quiz will explore Umezawa's charm through her words, including questions from nostalgic hidden footage! The live performance will feature the song 'When was the last time you ran up the stairs?' which emphasizes the importance of believing in oneself and moving forward. Attention will also be on the powerful expressions of 5th generation member Eisa Ikeda, who will serve as the center for the title track for the first time. INI and &TEAM, both global groups from audition programs, often make headlines for their connections beyond group boundaries, with some members having private friendships. This time, they will directly ask each other what they are curious about regarding the other group! They will delve into each other's charms and personalities. The truth behind 'that photo' that became a topic among fans at the beginning of the year will also be discussed…!? INI will perform 'All 4 U,' a song with a positive message about youth, written by member Rihito Ikesaki, while &TEAM will perform 'We on Fire,' a song about the determination to keep challenging, featuring impressive choreography in the chorus. The performances of both groups, who continue to grow, are a must-see.
