Yuichi Namizawa, a singer with more than half a century of experience, makes his Billboard Live debut. From starting his career in 1974, with LA band experience, and after his 1983 solo debut, he has led Japan's rock scene through numerous units such as TWINZER and BLAZE. As ZZROCK of King Cream Soda, he electrified Japan with the theme song for “Yo-kai Watch” and even appeared on NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen; that incredible singing voice still shows no signs of waning. Currently, drawing on his experience, he launched the BLACK ZAPPA FARM label and is developing the projects “BLACK CHRISTMAS” and “Monthly Yuichi Namizawa,” releasing new songs every month and continuing with overwhelming vitality. This “soulful vocalist” will stage a premium performance, staking his entire 52-year musical career on it. For this historic night, the strongest allies who have helped shape Japan's music scene will gather. Tetsurō Oda, who composed the TWINZER era hit “OH SHINY DAYS”; Michiya Haruhata, TUBE's guitarist who worked on his debut track; and King Cream Soda’s participation has been confirmed. That voice's extraordinary energy and adult allure will be absorbed up close in an intimate club space—an opportunity that will not come again. The moment where Japan's rock history intersects awaits you.
