NHK Utacon program special broadcasts

Overview

The NHK music program ‘Utacon’ has scheduled several special themed episodes. In late September, the program aired ‘Energetic Songs! Cheers to Our Hometowns’, which featured musical tributes to Japanese regions affected by natural disasters, such as Kumamoto and Fukui. The broadcast included performances by artists like Sayuri Ishikawa and Hiroshi Itsuki to provide encouragement to those in affected areas.

In late October, the program hosted a special feature dedicated to Yumi Matsutoya (Yuming). This episode showcased various artists performing covers of Matsutoya’s songs, ranging from her early career as Yumi Arai to her current work, and included archival footage of her past NHK performances.
