It has been announced that the final performance of the music group "Sugiyama Kiyotaka & Omega Tribe" currently being held nationwide at KT Zepp Yokohama (Nishi-ku, Yokohama) on November 28th from their ongoing tour "Oi, Hiroshi!! ~Yaon Tour Nationwide Pilgrimage~" will be broadcast live exclusively on WOWOW. In addition, a lineup of programs featuring footage from past live performances will also be announced for two consecutive months.
Following the death of original drummer Keiichi Hiroishi in March this year at the age of 64, the group held a memorial concert, "Hey, Hiroishi!", at Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) on July 19th. Tickets sold out as soon as they went on sale, and in response to the voices of the many fans who were unable to get tickets, the group decided to carry out this tour as a "national pilgrimage edition."
WOWOW will be broadcasting and streaming the final performance live on WOWOW Live and WOWOW On Demand from 6:30 pm on November 28th under the title "Live Broadcast! Sugiyama Kiyotaka & Omega Tribe: Hey, Hiroishi!! - Noh-On Tour Nationwide Tour Edition."
