Live report: The first step towards the festival in Shibuya!

The opening performance is a duet called ``My Neighbor Banana'' by Akari Fukuda and Airisa Mineyoshi. Fukuda greeted by saying, ``This event was made possible with the cooperation of Spotify O-WEST because we wanted to make the Fukufest in Kagawa even bigger,'' and laughed at the appearance of an idol that her father is promoting. I introduced them together.

Next up was ``Kasumikusa to Stella,'' a cover of STU48's ``Yumeriki,'' and in collaboration with ``Title Undetermined,'' they performed ``Kodo.'' Fukuda also participated and gave a performance.

STU48's set list included popular songs such as ``Ame to Namida Toka'' and ``Darkness,'' and fans erupted in loud applause, especially when Soraka Shinano commented, ``This set list is too divine.'' Ta. At the end, a group photo was taken with all the performers, and Fukuda concluded by saying, ``Thanks to everyone, this matchup was a success. We want to make it an even bigger festival next time, so please continue to support us!'' .

Akari Fukuda comment

``It's been a week since Vol.3 in Kagawa. Still excited, we hosted the first extra edition of Fukufes! This time, we decided to hold it with the full cooperation of Shibuya O-WEST. I think being able to use one of the festivals that inspired me to create Fukufest is a big step towards the Shibuya Circuit, which will be held on September 13th (Friday). We invited Stella-san and Untitled-san from Hokkaido.It was a refreshing atmosphere, but I thought that both idol groups would have a strong affinity with STU48. I think it's a lineup that conveys the core strength of these idols.The main difference from the main story is that other idols covered STU48's songs in full. It was a happy time to rediscover the charm of Setouchi's songs.The second time will be Jams Collection and Shinshiro Canvas!STU48 will also be participating.Look forward to it!
