《Akinori Nakagawa》
“JBB” is a chorus group formed by members who co-starred in the 2022 musical “JERSEY BOYS”.
We started this event with the desire to pursue the appeal of the chorus and hone our musicality until we can perform it again.
Thanks to all of your support, we are finally embarking on a concert tour this year.
For the JB family too! And for our first time customers! It was a special experience to hear our harmony. It was like a real Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons experience.
And the final destination. The concert held at Mozart Hall in Tokyo will be broadcast for the first time on Nippon TV Plus.
In addition to the digital single that covers YOASOBI’s famous song “Idol,” the four-person harmony will sing the wonderful Japanese and Western songs for over two hours. We will deliver our gentle and powerful singing voice. I’m sure you’ll fall in love with JBB and JERSEY BOYS even more during the long autumn nights.

I am filled with gratitude for being able to broadcast it again on Nippon TV Plus.
When I heard that it would be aired during the tour, I was so happy, and I have to show how much I have grown since last year’s Nakano Sun Plaza performance! I felt that strongly.
During the tour, we went to various venues and sang while enjoying the different reactions at each location.
Also, this time, the set list and arrangement were different between Billboard and the hall, so I think the content was able to enjoy those differences!
At the last Katsushika performance of the tour, they performed a special setlist that included all of them. I’m very happy that you can watch it.
Please enjoy Western and Japanese music played with various harmonies!
《Mashi Oyama》
Since it’s the culmination of the tour, it’s a set list that includes all the songs we’ve played so far. It was a concert that I ran through with a mysterious sense of impatience that I would run out of time if I were to talk. lol
Compared to when we all sang together for the first time at Nakano Sunplaza, I think the songs have become even more ingrained in our bodies and we have had a great time together.
Please enjoy the highest point that JBB can reach now! !
