“We held a concert in Hong Kong for our Asia tour back in 2012, but it was one of the places that we wanted to visit again as a group. We’re elated to be given the opportunity to visit Hong Kong this time! We hope to present our performance to everyone in Asia. While we’re in Hong Kong, we would like to try the city’s famous cuisine, so we welcome all recommendations. We hope that GEM’s viewers will look forward to our performance.’’ says Hey! Say! JUMP leader Kota Yabu when commenting on the event.
“GEM continues to be the top destination for premium Japanese content and ‘THE MUSIC DAY Songs for You’ is yet another example of how we deliver only the best entertainment live from Japan. Our collaboration with Johnny & Associates marks the first of many that will bring Japanese artistes closer to our Asian audiences for the ultimate fan meet experience.” Virginia Lim, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Sony Pictures Television Networks, Asia added
