MCZ chanted with a full orchestra.

On 31 March, MCZ performed at the 'Satoshi Takebe 45th Anniversary Premium Orchestra Concert' at Bunkamura Orchard Hall.

Satoshi Takebe is a legendary composer and arranger who has worked on many J-POP songs.

He still accompanies Yumi Matsutoya on piano in her live performances.

He was the first leader of MCZ's backing band, the Downtown Momoclo Band, and has performed with MCZ at many of their concerts.

This time the concert was performed by a full orchestra with a number of artists associated with Satoshi Takebe.

MCZ performed three songs.

The first song was 'Hashire!'.
The second song was 'Ruri-iro no Chikyu' (a song by Seiko Matsuda, a legendary Showa-era idol).
And the third song was 'Hai to Diamonds (means 'Ashes and Diamonds')'.

This song was one of the last songs of the Otoko Matsuri (Men's Festival) held at the Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine in Fukuoka Prefecture in 2015.

MCZ sang the song in the shrine's temple, with only Satoshi Takebe playing the piano. Historic scene.

Satoshi Takebe commented on MCZ that day as follows.

Thanks to meeting MCZ, it was a great opportunity for me to continue my music career for a long time. Thank you.
