Nippon TV music special airs amid timelesz member arrest
Overview
Nippon Television aired its four-hour music special, ‘120 Million People’s Thank You: Song Thanksgiving’ (or ‘Song Festival of Gratitude’), on September 23. Hosted by actress Manami Higa and Shota Watanabe of Snow Man, the program featured over 100 songs spanning the Showa and Heisei eras to contemporary hits, including Disney, Ghibli, and drama soundtracks.
Performances included artists such as King & Prince, Ayaka, Sekai No Owari, and Ayumi Hamasaki. Notable segments included Snow Man performing three tracks and King & Prince singing Disney-themed songs.
A featured collaboration involved the group timelesz, who performed ‘Kienai Hanabi’ accompanied by 2,000 fireworks in Atami, Shizuoka. However, due to the recent arrest of member Shuto Inomata on suspicion of injury, his image was edited out of the performance. Following the broadcast, fans expressed gratitude on social media that the segment was aired rather than canceled entirely.
