Masaki Endo, who continues to captivate many fans as the rising young lion of the anime-song world, makes his first appearance at Billboard Live in the New Year. In 1997, his hit theme song “Yuusha Ou Tanjou!” for the TV anime Yuusha-Oh GaoGaiGar sparked a whirlwind in the anime-song world, and in 2003, with the theme song for the 27th Super Sentai series Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger, he achieved a top-class sales record among all Super Sentai series theme songs. Since then, he has continued to perform numerous tie-up songs mainly for TV anime and tokusatsu dramas, and this year he celebrates his 30th anniversary since debut. Beginning with the January release of the opening theme “Kinnikuman Hero” for Season 2 of the TV anime Kinnikuman—the Perfect Superhuman Origin Arc—and with live performances planned, expectations are high for further activity in the future. As the new year opens, don’t miss this premium stage where his soul-stirring voice resonates.
