The Queen of Japanese R&B, Akiko Wada, makes a comeback to Billboard Live Osaka for the Christmas season for the first time in about three years! Since her debut in 1968, she has continued to shine across a wide range of fields as a singer, entertainer, actress, host, and radio personality, and on October 22 she will release 'Akiko Wada All-Time Best,' a 30-track collection that covers her entire career. From the TikTok sensation 'YONA YONA DANCE,' which has garnered over 500 million views, to classic songs such as 'Old Diary' and 'Smile and Forgive,' and including her signature piece 'It's You Who Rings That Bell,' the album will include both the original version and the 2025 re-recording. With more than half a century of experience, the Japanese soul diva's evolving charisma is condensed into this one-night-only stage—don't miss it.
