This is a two-part talk event that will give us a glimpse into what he is up to now. 【Part 1】 “Continuing to Sing” – The Journey of a 30-Year Musical Career (Sold Out) Ikemori, who has been singing at the forefront of the J-POP scene for 30 years, looks back on her musical career and talks about her journey so far, turning points, and her hopes for the future. The concert attracted great interest from music fans, and tickets sold out quickly after going on sale. 【Part 2】 “The Joy of Living with Soba” – The Ikemori-Style Lifestyle of Pursuing What You Love – (Limited Seats Left) Another passion besides music is soba noodles. Ikemori has traveled to soba places all over the country and has continued to spread the word about its appeal through television and books. Ikemori speaks candidly about his daily life with soba. What sparked his fascination with soba? He’ll talk about the encounters and realizations he had during his travels, and the joy and richness of incorporating his passions into his daily life. This is a chance to see a different side of Ikemori than music. There are very few seats left for the second session.
