[This is a report from the recording of "Untitled Concert"!]

On Monday, April 1st, I participated in the recording of TV Asahi's "Untitled Concert."

The top image shows the stage at Opera City preparing the equipment. The lighting creates a different atmosphere from the previous day's Tokyo performance.

Backstage, the troupe members were excited to see the paper in their dressing rooms with the show's logo on it.

The recording date, April 1st, is the day the new era name is announced.

The members of the troupe were watching the press conference on tablets. At the moment of the announcement, there were surprised cries of "Reiwa?!" Even though they had a big performance coming up, they were still curious about the new era name...!

We also gave a message album to Aya Nishina, the composer of "Kugui no Sora," which we were unable to give to her the day before!


Finally, the camera rehearsal.

The camera movements are checked through each of Program A and Program B. This is an important rehearsal not only for the performers but also for the TV staff.

After the rehearsal, the recording finally began, welcoming the audience.

As expected, the members of the group seemed a little nervous. The secretariat staff was watching them on a monitor at the side...!

And the recording ended safely!

After three consecutive days of performances, one would think that the members would be getting tired, but they made use of what they had learned from each performance and gave an even more passionate performance!

Finally, we all took a group photo!

The broadcast date of "Untitled Concert" is scheduled for around May! We will announce the exact broadcast date in a later report. Please look forward to it!

Now, after the three-day performance, the members had a surprise for the captain, Isogai-san! They presented him with a message!

Thank you Captain Isogai for organizing over 100 members for a year!

On this day, the group will split into those who will stay overnight and those who will leave the area, and the bus carrying the group who will stay overnight will leave Opera City.

The members who were disbanding on site waved goodbye!

=====

The next day, April 2nd, was the day we returned to Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima.

Finally, a photo with those staying overnight.

The Fukushima group went home by bus, while the Iwate and Miyagi group took the Shinkansen from Tokyo Station!

Fortunately, there were no major accidents and our fulfilling six nights and seven days came to an end.

Thank you very much to all the members for your hard work...!
