Chiaki Maemura, a track-maker and singer-songwriter who continues to release her own pop music with outstanding self-production skills and rich creativity, makes her Billboard Live debut on her birthday. She handles lyrics, composition, and arrangement herself, and across a wide range of genres her works fuse sharp sensibility, humor, and high musicality, earning broad support. In live performances centered on freely crafting sounds via DAW and guitar-with-vocals, she captivates audiences with her expressive performances. For this show, Shuu Kanematsu, who is deeply connected with Chiaki Maemura's musical ensemble, is invited as music director and band member, delivering a special stage with a lineup assembled solely for this day. We hope you will fully enjoy the sound exchange on a stage that is a little different from usual, in an intimate club space.

〈Chiaki Maemura Comment〉
Isn't it human nature to set New Year's goals even though you'll probably forget them, and birthdays likewise tend to be occasions for taking on something challenging?
The year before last, an explosive live show; last year we invited Ms. Kimyo as a guest for the announcement of “One Cake, Two Candles”; this year Billboard Live! What a wide range!
I'm not the type to refrain from trying new things just because there's no trigger, but having a birthday there makes me want to challenge myself—it's like a donation box is there nudging me to contribute.
This year I can perform on my birthday! And on the stage where I usually stand alone, there will be wonderful companions…!
The Avengers are coming, so everyone, be prepared.
By 9/12, I will have become a woman who suits Billboard Live, so please look forward to a one-night-only special stage!
