BAND-MAID, yabai T-shirts yasan, YU-KA

This episode invites on stage BAND-MAID, yabai T-shirts yasan and YU-KA. BAND-MAID is a five-piece, all-female band with maid costumes that strike a sharp contrast with their hard rock sound. They've done tours in the US and other parts of the world, and now they will be appearing on the show for the first time. yabai T-shirts yasan is a three-piece band popular for their melodic hardcore sound and humorous lyrics. For the first time since their debut, their restriction on TV performances have been lifted and this will be their first appearance on an NHK music program. They will sing their uplifting song "hurray." YU-KA is an up-and-coming singer-songwriter who made her major debut last year. She will perform her hit song "Hoshizukiyo (Starry Night)," produced by Toru from the renowned band ONE OK ROCK. SONGS OF TOKYO has been airing since 2018 (airing regularly since March 2019) and this will be our final episode.
