It has been announced that the opening performance of singer Seiko Matsuda's nationwide arena tour to celebrate her 45th anniversary since her debut, which took place from June to September last year, at Saitama Super Arena (Chuo Ward, Saitama City) will be broadcast and streamed on WOWOW Live and WOWOW On Demand from 8:00 p.m. on March 29th.
Matsuda debuted in 1980 and quickly rose to the top of the charts as a top idol, becoming so popular that she could be called a social phenomenon. She is an "eternal idol" who has had a major impact not only on the Japanese idol and music scenes, but on pop culture itself, and continues to be active at the forefront of the industry. In February, she will be holding a special concert in Korea, the first of her career.
2025 marks the 45th anniversary of their debut, and various events were planned, including the release of the ultimate all-time best album, but the centerpiece of these was the 45th anniversary nationwide arena tour that took place from June to September last year. The performance at Saitama Super Arena was the opening performance of the tour. As it was a 45th anniversary concert, the venue was filled with excitement and heat, with a spectacular set list that featured hits from their debut one after another.
