To everyone at VAWS
I'm Naotaka Maeda, producer of "Buzz Rhythm".
Vaundy, who took first place in the 2021 "This is going to be a hit" competition, made his first appearance on a major terrestrial commercial television network.
To mark the 10th anniversary of “Buzz Rhythm LIVE,” they delivered a stunning performance as the headliner on the final day of the four-day event. Last year, through the joint project with the music school “Voice,” titled “THE WONDER VOICE,” we were able to share the musical roots and valuable background of “Vaundy.”
We are truly delighted that Vaundy, who has been deeply involved with the program up until now, has chosen "Buzz Rhythm LIVE" as the venue for his final live performance of 2026.
Unlike festivals where multiple stages run simultaneously, Buzz Rhythm LIVE prides itself on being a rare and special live event where top-tier performers and forward-thinking talents coexist on "one stage."
(The Buzz Rhythm LIVE official page has back issues at the bottom. "This year's lineup was amazing!?")
There are many, so please take a look.
That's why we want to make Vaundy 's performance this time not just the last live show of 2026, but a special and unforgettable night for both Vaundy and everyone in VAWS.
With that in mind, I made a few special requests of Vaundy.
① We'd like to ask the members of VAWS to submit "one song they'd like to hear at a live show," and have them include it in the setlist for the day.
Because this is the end of 2026, we asked if they could deliver a special setlist that directly reflects the voices of all VAWS fans and can only be realized here.
② The usual performance time of around 30 minutes will be extended to a 60-minute set this time.
Because this was a special occasion—the last live performance of the year—we asked Vaundy to deliver even more of his music than usual.
And this time, Vaundy kindly accepted these requests.
I am truly grateful for their sincere consideration of the program's suggestions and for prioritizing the time they spent with everyone at VAWS above all else.
Of course, as a program, we will do our utmost to prepare so that we can deliver this special stage in the best possible way.
Vaundy has given us so many wonderful performances in the past.
With the addition of VAWS 's voices, I'm confident that this will be a live performance unlike anything we've done before, something beyond imagination.
November 8th (Sunday), Yokohama Arena.
I want to create this stage, which will be the culmination of 2026, together with Vaundy, the members of VAWS, and everyone involved with Buzz Rhythm LIVE.
Please join us in experiencing this special moment that can only be created on this day, in this place.
I'm really looking forward to that day!
