Masao Urino, the lyricist who, with words that touch the deepest layers of the heart, captures universal everyday life that everyone can relate to and has crafted timeless songs loved across generations, will conduct a talk-show and live performance. Among the many mega-hit songs he created are “涙のリクエスト,” “ジュリアに傷心,” “星屑のステージ” (Checkers), “最後のHoly Night” (Kiyotaka Sugiyama), “六本木純情派” (Yoko Oginome), “2億4千万の瞳” (Hiromi Go), Eikichi Yazawa’s “Somebody’s Night,” and Junichi Inagaki’s “夏のクラクション.” He will host the talk-show & live performance.

Intertwining behind-the-scenes stories and anecdotes about the hits he produced, this precious talk-show also peels back Urino’s personality with Teruhisa Kitahara, a world-renowned tin-toy collector. A host of hit songs will be performed in lavish live renditions by guest artists Junichi Inagaki, Kiyotaka Sugiyama, and Max Lux. Enjoy a blissful moment at Billboard Live, as if the languor of an ’80s living room has been made even more luxurious.
