Ikimonogakari reveals a surprise for their international fans!
Ikimonogakari has just revealed a surprise for their fans in Hong Kong and Taiwan!

The pop band is currently preparing for their two-day “Ikimono Matsuri 2011 Donata Summer mo TanoshimimaSHOW!!!” concert on July 23rd and 24th. Since all 60,000 tickets sold out immediately for both performances, Ikimonogakari decided to broadcast their performance live on the 24th in theaters across Japan.

To include some of their international fans, Ikimonogakari will also be broadcasting the same performance through Hong Kong’s MCL Cinema and Taiwan’s VIESHOW Cinemas.

If you live in either Hong Kong or Taiwan, make sure not to miss out on this special event!

Day 1: #5

(For reference, you're going to be quite surprised who's #1 - it's NOT Tohoshinki: it's NMB48, Akimoto's (from AKB48) newest unit.)

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

Looks normal for them so it's okay.

Never knew they're popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan

Ikimonogakari performs with TUBE’s Maeda Nobuteru in Yokohama!

On July 24th, Ikimonogakari held their second consecutive concert at Yokohama Stadium.

While the show was a huge hit from start to finish, the encore ended the night on an exuberant note, as TUBE’s vocalist, Maeda Nobuteru (46), made a surprise appearance during that stage. Maeda proposed that Ikimonogakari and TUBE collaborate for a charity live at Kugenuma Kaigan in Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture. Ikimonogakari’s Yoshioka Kiyoe (27) responded with “Certainly!” and accepted the offer.

The band played 22 songs in total at this performance including “YELL”. Furthermore, Maeda played his band’s hit song, “Aah Natsuyasumi” as well.

Since this is Ikimongakari’s first appearance and live at Yokohama Stadium, leader Mizuno Yoshiki (28) commented, “We will continue to make music so that we can stand on this stage numerous times once again.”

Their two-night performance attracted approximately 60,000 fans in total, and was broadcasted live in not only in Japan, but in Hong Kong and Taiwan as well.

In some ways it looks nice, or in some ways it looks a bit too lame...
(I'm kind of wondering...why do recent ikimono-gakari singles have to be something like this???)
