Takuro Yoshida's First Stage in 7 Years! "Haru Datta ne 2026" to Premiere Exclusively on TBS Channel 1 on August 1st at 7 PM! Audience Rises to Their Feet with Cheers of "Welcome Back!"

TBS Television Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Masamine Ryuho) will exclusively broadcast the "Takuro Yoshida Special LIVE Haru Datta ne 2026" held at Festival Hall in Osaka on April 25, 2026, for the first time on television, starting at 7 PM on August 1st (Sat) on its CS broadcasting service "TBS Channel 1 Latest Dramas, Music, and Movies"!

At the end of the concert, amidst thunderous applause, he conveyed his joy and gratitude to his fans for returning to the stage in Osaka, a moment that could be called a "long-cherished wish." --

"I have always sung about 'happiness' with all my might through music, but at the same time, I am truly grateful that you all called me (welcomed me). Thank you very much."

Singer-songwriter Takuro Yoshida held concerts on April 13th at the Aichi Prefectural Arts Theater and on the 25th at Festival Hall in Osaka, his first concerts since 2019. The Osaka performance, in particular, was his first stage in 17 years since his nationwide tour in 2009, which was billed as his "final concert of his life" but was canceled due to poor health. From the moment the curtain rose, the venue was instantly on its feet, and fans erupted with cheers of "Takuro! Welcome back!" Takuro Yoshida, who spoke of "Osaka after a long time" on stage, mentioned an episode where he thoroughly enjoyed Osaka's specialty takoyaki and okonomiyaki the night before the live performance, and greeted the audience with humor, saying, "I'll be singing various songs while exuding the aroma of takoyaki, so please enjoy yourselves!" The audience responded with loud laughter and smiles.

He performed one hit song after another, including the timeless masterpiece "Haru Datta ne," which has colored the era and remains as vibrant as ever, and fan favorites "Rakuyo" and "Jinsei wo Katarazu." Furthermore, he passionately sang his mega-hit "Zenbu Dakishimete," and a self-cover of "Yasashii Akuma," a masterpiece that shines in the history of Showa-era pop music, which he provided to the Candies. With his powerful and uniquely deepened singing voice, he moved the hearts of the audience who filled the venue.

This is a supreme stage that Takuro Yoshida, who celebrated his 80th birthday in April, meticulously prepared and rehearsed, condensing all of his past journey and passion. We hope you will enjoy this must-see live footage, filled with laughter, tears, and profound emotions, as a "permanent preservation edition" on television.
