Top Japanese artists to sing in Hanoi

The Japanese Embassy in Vietnam will host a music event featuring Japan’s top singers and idol groups in Hanoi this weekend.

The Japanese Embassy in Vietnam will host a music event featuring Japan’s top singers and idol groups to mark the 100-year anniversary of Hanoi Opera House in Hanoi this weekend.

Singer Godai Natsuko

Pop groups AAA, Exile, W-inds, AKB48 will share the same stage with veteran folk singer Godai Natsuko and opera performer Sugi Ryotaro in “Japan – Vietnam Music Festival 2011”, which is part of a series of events held to celebrate the national theatre’s 100th birthday.

While Godai Natsuko is considered one of the best Japanese folk artists of her generation, Sugi Ryutaro has been praised by critics for breathing new life into contemporary opera in the country.

Girl group AKB48, boy band AAA, Exile and W-inds are worthy representatives of Japan’s popular culture and contemporary music, who have won hundreds of thousands of fans and have hit records sold both in and outside the country.

Vietnam will have two artists to join the program; however organisers have yet to disclose their names.

To air live on central broadcaster VTV and Japan’s national television NHK, “Japan – Vietnam Music Festival 2011” will have two big screens installed outside the theatre for the general public.

It will take place on September 9 at Hanoi Opera House, 1 Trang Tien, Hanoi.
