Hiroshima Yoshimoto's comedy duo "Member" (Teiju Yamaguchi, Keita Shio) is taking on the challenge of realizing a "Solo Live National Tour" where they will perform song-based comedy and skits with live orchestral accompaniment, as the culmination of their 20th anniversary in entertainment. In conjunction with this, a project will be launched on FANY Crowdfunding from 10:00 AM on Monday, May 11, 2026. The legendary "Member's Concert," an orchestra x song-based comedy live show that was made possible by your warm support in 2023, and which garnered a huge response with over 4 million views on its archived YouTube video, is now returning even more powerfully. To not let the one-time感動 (deep emotion) end there, but to deliver new entertainment that combines comedy and music to more people and across the nation, we are taking a new step forward with your support once again.

We have launched this crowdfunding campaign. The goal is to successfully hold a national tour of our live show where we perform song-based comedy with live orchestral accompaniment. Last time, thanks to everyone's generous support, we were able to successfully hold the performance in Hiroshima.
We want to deliver an even more powerful orchestra live show nationwide, so we appreciate your cooperation!
