Kishidan Expo 2025 - Kanto Bakuon Pavilion, which was held over two days in November 2025, will be broadcast and streamed on WOWOW for a total of 12 hours on January 17th and February 22nd. WOWOW has released comments from the artists who will be performing on the first day of the show, which will be broadcast and streamed on the 17th, about the highlights of the show.
Kishidan Expo was first held in 2003. Sho Ayakoji said, "I want to gather the best friends, play the best music, and create the best time," and performers from across genres including not only rock but also pop, idols, popular songs, and enka gathered together. The 2025 event was held on November 25th and 26th at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Halls 9-11 (Mihama Ward, Chiba City).
WOWOW will broadcast and stream the first part of the film on the first day from 4:00 p.m. on January 17th, and the second part on the first day from 7:00 p.m. on the same day on WOWOW Prime and WOWOW On Demand.
Comments from the artists performing on the first day's show are as follows (titles omitted; CreepHyp's performance is not scheduled to be broadcast or streamed):
ASKA: We added one more song just before Utsukubi Gokumon Doukoukai went on stage. We thought Ayakoji Sho might take to it, and sure enough, he did. Please look forward to it. ▽Utsukubi Gokumon Doukoukai: This was our first stage since Kishidan Expo moved to Makuhari Messe, but I've always loved Kishidan Senpai's venue selections, and it was a really fun performance! ▽ Taiiku Okazaki: Kishidan Expo will be performing not only as Taiiku Okazaki, but also as Mossai-sama. Our live performance as Tsukumogami on the MOSSAI stage is also a highlight, so we hope you'll keep an eye out for that as well.
OKAMOTO'S: There was a collaboration stage, and that guy from Kishidan came. It was amazing. Please look forward to it. ▽Kishidan: 31 of Japan's top artists and performers came together over two days, and they put on an incredible show. We also brought to the table everything we've cultivated over the past year leading up to 2025. Please come and see! ▽Seikima-II: Isn't the event menu a little on the short side? It's perfect for an old man like me. Just look at the power of this old man.
7ORDER: In 2024, we participated as backup dancers for Kishidan's older brothers, but this time we're very happy to finally be performing on stage! We're doing our best to liven up Sho-yan's expectations. Thank you for your support! ▽10-FEET: Whenever we perform at Kishidan Banpaku, we've always messed around with Kishidan, but this time Kishidan won't be appearing at all, lol. It's rare for us to perform such a passionate live show at Kishidan Banpaku, so that's the highlight, lol. It was a very exciting live show. ▽20th Century: Our songs were made available on subscription services just before the event, so we think this set list will bring back memories for those born in the Showa and Heisei eras, and be fresh and enjoyable for those born in the Reiwa era.
Hosokawa Takashi: It was my first time appearing, but I did my best! Please look forward to it. ▽ Momoiro Clover Z: As a surprise, I got to sing a song by Kishidan without permission! There's also a surprise in the song, so that's also a highlight! Please take a look! ▽ Yanagiya Mutsumi & THE RATBONES: The highlight is the loincloth! Lol.
Young Skinny: It was our first time at Kishidan Expo, but we performed with the determination to give our all and deliver a great live show, even more than usual, while still maintaining the Young Skinny style. Please enjoy! ▽ROTTENGRAFFTY: Please enjoy a special ROTTENGRAFFTY live show at a special Kishidan Expo! Thank you! Ain't it?
