The second day of the "Kishidan Expo 2025 - Kanto Bakuon Pavilion," which was held over two days in November 2025, will be broadcast and streamed on WOWOW on February 22nd. Prior to the program, WOWOW released comments from the artists appearing on the second day's performance about what to look out for.
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 second day's performance on WOWOW Live and WOWOW On Demand from 6:00 p.m. on February 22nd, and the second part from 9:00 p.m. on the same day.
Comments from the artists performing on the second day's show are as follows (titles omitted):
Aina the End: I think we were able to start another revolution by performing Kakumei Dochu with the accompanying sound effects. I hope you'll check out our performance wearing our original "Kishi Bakudouchu" T-shirts. ▽Akiyama Ryuji (Robert): We were invited to perform as the opening act at Kishidan Expo, which features some incredible artists, so we spent more time in the tanning booth than usual. A Kishidan version of Umemiya will also be appearing, so I hope you enjoy it. ▽Kimjima Ozora Ensemble format: Last year I performed as a soloist, but this year I'm very happy to be performing as part of an ensemble. I think the joy oozes from our performance, so please come and see.
▽Golden Bomber: Since we were on stage in the morning, close to opening the show, we made it spicy and tangy to wake everyone up. No dirty jokes in the morning. Lol. Thank you for your support! ▽Juice Goku Goku Club: We're really happy to have been invited to Kishidan Banpaku for the first time. We were so nervous that it felt like it was getting in the way of recording the interview before the show. Lol. We did everything we could to make it exciting, so please enjoy! ▽Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku: This is our first Kishidan Banpaku in three years, so we're really pumped! We've also got a collaboration with a certain someone, so I think that's one of the highlights! Thank you for your support!
- Shintenchi Kaibaku Shudan - Zigzag: The audience was surprisingly excited. I paid attention to the details of my beloved bike (motorcycle), so I hope you'll pay more attention to it than the performance (laughs). It's my own bike, after all. The audience was more excited than last time, so I hope you'll check that out too. ▽Cho Tokimeki Promotion Department: There are various dances during the songs, but there are slight changes for Kishidan's songs, "Hatsukoi Cycling" and "Tomorrow Saikyo Setsu!!", so I hope you enjoy that! ▽DJ Dinoji: You can see Daichi flying with a pulled muscle and a bomb in his knee. So many people came first thing in the morning, and it gave us energy. Thank you!
Dragon Ash: We were invited as the most intense band, so we hope that people who have never seen a band like that will be able to see the performance of an intense rock band. ▽NEWS: Since it's Kishidan Expo, Koyama and Kato styled their hair similar to Sho-yan's. Masuda wanted a mohawk, but the makeup artist refused (laughs). lol This is our second year performing, so it will be interesting to see if there are any unusual surprises or collaborations. Thank you! ▽BUCK∞TICK: It's been 12 years since we last performed at Kishidan Expo, so we're really happy to be performing. They're really cool, so please look forward to it. Thank you.
RIP SLYME: We had been on a nationwide tour up until the day before Kishidan Expo, so I think we were able to give a live performance that was in the prime of its glory. Thank you for your support. ▽ LEXI: At the live performance, we sing, the band plays instruments, and I hope you will enjoy those aspects of the show. Is that a given? Thank you (laughs)!
