In 1995, Nanase Aikawa burst onto the scene with “Yumemiru Shōjo ja Irarenai,” instantly establishing herself as an irreplaceable presence in Japanese rock history. Despite selling over two million copies with her debut album, she consistently resisted being molded into a conventional idol, choosing instead to stand on stage with raw honesty, individuality, and emotional resonance.
Now celebrating the dazzling milestone of her 30th anniversary, her voice remains piercing and powerful—guiding listeners through time with undiminished intensity. Rather than softening her edges, the years have enriched her expression, adding depth and nuance that allow her rock spirit to continue burning brightly on stage.
At Billboard Live TAIPEI, she presents “MOON DANCE,” inviting fans to experience a performance that is at once dynamic, warm, and profoundly commanding.

If there is a sound capable of transforming urban melancholy into sweet romance, it belongs to LUCKY TAPES. Led by mastermind Kai Takahashi, the band builds upon foundations of funk and soul, subtly weaving in jazz and pop elements. Many first discovered them through the classic album Cigarette & Alcohol or the film theme “MOON,” while the Taipei-shot MV “22” further cemented their bond with Taiwan.
Takahashi’s delicate, unmistakable voice has always felt like a gentle apparition—embracing listeners in moments of solitude. Following lineup changes and a period of individual activity in 2023, fans wondered whether this refined romanticism might fade. But with new singles released in 2024, one thing is clear: LUCKY TAPES is back.
In 2026, Takahashi returns to Billboard Live TAIPEI with a fully reformed band, showcasing the performance power that once conquered stages like FUJI ROCK and GREENROOM. Join them in savoring a beautifully bittersweet musical journey.

Since forming in 2013, this quartet of musical visionaries has carved out a distinctive global presence through experimental sounds that fuse jazz, soul, and electronic elements. From their striking debut Sphere to the ambitious Eyes, WONK continues to weave intricate sonic narratives that reflect the anxieties and imaginations of the modern age.
Their acclaim extends from frequent appearances at Blue Note and Summer Sonic to high praise from Japanese R&B icon Toshinobu Kubota, who lauded WONK as “irreplaceable” following their collaboration “Life Like This.” In Taiwan, their cross-cultural collaborations with 9m88 and Elephant Gym further highlight their musical versatility.
Each member brings a unique “parallel career” into the band: vocalist Kento Nagatsuka as a French-trained chef, keyboardist Ayatake Ezaki collaborating with King Gnu, bassist Kan Inoue balancing corporate life and music, and drummer Hikaru Arata leading avant-garde projects. Together, these paths converge into performances that are both elegant and formidable.
