Celebrating 45 Years of Maki Nomiya: A Special Live Event

Celebrating Maki Nomiya's 45th Anniversary with a Special Live Event

This year marks a significant milestone for Maki Nomiya as she celebrates her 45th anniversary in the entertainment industry. To commemorate this special occasion, a two-day concert, titled "Women Are Women," will be held at Billboard Live Tokyo on March 5 and 6, featuring an exclusive broadcast on Fuji TV TWO Drama & Anime on April 24.

The live performance will showcase not only Maki but also esteemed guests Kyoko Koizumi and YOU, both of whom have had notable careers in the entertainment industry themselves. Maki, Kyoko, and YOU share a rich history as they debuted around the same time in the 1980s. Their journeys, although diverse, intertwine through their musical endeavors and connections, making this collaboration an exciting highlight of the year.

During the performance, Maki Nomiya will lead the stage backed by a talented female band, including bassist Yumiko Ono from Buffalo Daughter, drummer Yuka Yoshimura, keyboardist Risa Takeda, and guitar played by Hisako Tabuchi from ex.Number Girl. This group represents a fresh take on the concept of an all-female band, blending various musical backgrounds to deliver a captivating performance.

The event title "Women Are Women" pays homage to the film by renowned director Jean-Luc Godard. Maki Nomiya identifies with the film’s lead character, portrayed by Anna Karina, who epitomizes a free-spirited woman living life without constraints. This connection will resonate throughout the concert, as Maki, Kyoko, and YOU embody this spirit in their live performance.

As Maki Nomiya gears up for her 45th anniversary in September, this concert serves as a pre-celebration and a way to honor her birthday on March 12. The live event promises a unique encounter between Maki, Kyoko, and YOU, making it an unforgettable experience for fans and attendees alike. Fans are encouraged to mark the date and prepare for a spectacular performance that showcases the incredible artistry and chemistry between the three performers.

In Maki Nomiya's own words, "It feels miraculous to be performing alongside Kyoko Koizumi and YOU, both of whom debuted in the '80s. I am filled with happiness to collaborate with two true idols as a New Wave artist. Although this year marks my 45th anniversary, I believe that the longer you have been in the industry, the more wonderful opportunities arise. I am determined to deliver the best possible live performance!"
