Since debuting as the vocalist of SING LIKE TALKING in 1988, Satō Takezō has continued to broaden his range as a multi-creator, in addition to his solo work, activities with PLUS ONE and SALT&SUGAR, and his work producing and writing songs for other artists. This year, carrying a Christmas best-of album, he will kick off the holiday season with the Tokyo–Osaka Billboard Live Tour. Backed by the familiar trio—Makoto Aoyagi (piano), Yōsuke Inoue (bass), and Yoshito Eto (drums)—one of Japan’s top jazz talents, he will deliver a dramatic stage centered on Christmas songs. In the latest stage of the highly acclaimed concept live, which celebrated its 10th anniversary last year, you’ll experience an exquisite night that feels like Christmas a little early.
