At a press conference in the capital yesterday, W-inds three members’ Ryohei Chiba, Keita Tachibana, and Ryuichi Ogata said they were very happy to be taking part in the concert, which cheers 35 years of diplomatic relations between Viet Nam and Japan (September 21). The event will be hosted at the National Convention Centre Ha Noi tonight and the Hoa Binh Theatre in HCM City tomorrow night.

The show will be a good opportunity to bolster ties between the two countries, Goodwill Ambassador to Viet Nam, singer Sugi Ryotaro said. Ryotaro will also perform at the show, along with other Japanese stars including Godai Natsuko, Akikawa Masafumi, Rimi Nastukawa and Shimatani Hitomi.
