&TEAM will appear on NHK's 'Venue101' broadcast on November 22. 'Venue101' is a music program that airs live every Saturday at 11 PM from the Venue101 studio. The theme is 'Live music is born on Saturday at 11 PM', with MCs Ryuichi Hamaya and Erika Ikuta delivering fun and passionate live performances with guest artists. This time, Shiori Kubo, who is about to graduate from the group Nogizaka46 after approximately 9 years, and her most respected senior, Erika Ikuta, will visit a memorable location. They will visit the rehearsal room filled with memories of the group, where selections and formations for past songs, as well as rehearsals for live performances and the Kouhaku Uta Gassen, took place, leaving various memories for the members. At this timing, just one week before graduation, the two will discuss their 'past' with Nogizaka46 and their 'future' in solo activities, which is a must-see. In the studio performance, Kubo will showcase her last single 'Biryani'. This will be her first appearance on the program alongside the 6th generation members. Don't miss Kubo's appearance, which will be her 'last appearance on a TV music program'. The 3rd single 'Go in Blind (Moon Wolf)', announced in April, achieved a million sales in Japan. Recently, it was announced that they will make their first appearance at the '76th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen', making &TEAM, a 9-member global group from Japan, a hot topic. They will perform the title track 'Back to Life' from their mini-album that debuted in Korea, which recorded a million sales in Korea, achieving the first 'Japan-Korea million' in Japanese artist history. The program will focus on the behind-the-scenes of this Korean debut. What kind of stories will emerge during the live broadcast? The popular comedy duo Shimofuri Myojo's Seiya will make his artist debut under his real name 'Seiya Ishikawa'! His singing voice has attracted attention every time he performed on variety shows, and in 2020, he posted numerous cover singing videos, which garnered over 20 million views. Last month, he made his singer debut with the original song 'Okan no LINE', which he wrote himself. In this episode of 'Venue101', he will discuss the journey to his artist debut and his commitment to songwriting, with MC Ryuichi Hamaya asking detailed questions. Look forward to a multi-faceted exploration of 'Singer Seiya's' charm. The 8-member boy group MAZZEL announced their debut on November 22, 2022, and three years later, each member is expanding their activities by appearing in dramas and movies. They will perform 'Only You', a medium ballad that emotionally expresses the anxieties and sadness of love, which is the theme song for a drama starring member NAOYA. Compared to their first appearance on 'Venue101' (aired on April 15, 2023), the eight have matured and will perform with a rich atmosphere during the live broadcast. In the studio, the two MCs will lead lively discussions and performances from the four groups of artists, filled with the excitement of live broadcasting. Additionally, there will be projects to enjoy the broadcast more through NHK ONE streaming and the program's official social media content!
