It looks like the New Year's Eve concert will be held again this year.

An optional article from Nikkei Entertainment!'s ongoing series “New Momoclo 61-Minute 3-Match Battle” has been published on the Nikkei Crosstrend website.

The piece is an interview with MCZ's producer AKIRA Kawakami, sharing behind-the-scenes stories from this summer's live performances.

In the interview, he commented that they are “currently preparing for this year's Momoclo Uta Gassen on New Year's Eve.”

Up until now, there had been no official statement from the members themselves regarding a New Year's Eve concert, which had led to some fans worrying whether it would take place this year. This comment seems to put those concerns to rest.

However, since last year's event, the concert time has been moved to the early evening, meaning it is no longer a “year-crossing countdown” show.

Mononofus are now watching closely to see how this year's version will be presented.
