Year-End Extravaganza: 'SHOW-WA & MATSURI Red Blue Song Contest 2025'

The much-loved year-end concert is making a comeback! Fuji TV has announced that the live streaming of the highly anticipated event, 'SHOW-WA & MATSURI Red Blue Song Contest 2025', will take place on December 31 at noon (JST) via its PPV (Pay-Per-View) service on FOD.

After a remarkable run last year, the male ensemble produced by Yasushi Akimoto—SHOW-WA & MATSURI—are all set to once again delight fans with their spectacular performances. Despite their ardent efforts and aspirations to participate in the famous 'Kōhaku Uta Gassen' (Red and White Song Contest), their names were not announced this year either. Feeling the urge to go out with a bang, the 12-member group is gathering once more on New Year's Eve! Prepare for a show filled with singing, dancing, and delightful banter to wrap up 2025 with joy and gratitude.

This year’s live event promises a delightful variety of entertainment, featuring a mix of shuffled unit performances, nostalgic talks reflecting on the year, and even cooking battles! The performance will showcase the unique traits and teamwork that the members have developed over their time on the daytime variety show 'Pokapoka', ensuring an electrifying experience that fans won’t want to miss.

In an exciting twist, those who purchase tickets for the live streaming will also have the chance to enter an exclusive giveaway campaign! Winners will receive a live phone call from their favorite member revealing the good news, along with personally autographed merchandise. Additionally, there will be a secondary chance for fans, with a draw for autographed photos of their favorite members after the archive stream wraps up.

Join these 12 passionate performers for a generous two-hour celebration of their hard work and dedication—it's going to be an unforgettable night!
