Ginji Ito, who has continued to bring refined sounds to Japan's pop scene as an artist, producer, and arranger, will take the Billboard Live stage for the first time in about four years. To celebrate next year’s 55th anniversary of his debut, he will share a one-night-only special stage with pop maestro Mari Sugimori, whose superb melodic sense creates timeless songs loved across generations, and with EPO, who has long colored the J-POP scene since Ito wrote the lyrics for his debut song “DOWN TOWN.” Having met through Eiichi Ohtaki and the Niagara Label, and having performed together many times and deepened their long friendship over the years, don’t miss the special harmony that only they can create.
