For the first time ever, iconic J-rock legend Show Wesugi is set to perform live in Singapore on 27 December at Arena @ EXPO, delivering a once-in-a-lifetime experience for fans who grew up with the legendary anime Slam Dunk. As the original voice behind the era-defining track 'Till the End of the World' (世界が終るまでは...), Wesugi's music has left a lasting mark on generations of anime lovers and rock fans across Asia.
A defining theme of Slam Dunk and the redemption arc of fan-favourite character Hisashi Mitsui, 'Till the End of the World' became more than just an anime ending -- it became a rallying cry of youthful resilience. With lyrics that speak of forging ahead even if the world ends, the song resonated deeply with those who first heard it in the '90s and continues to inspire new listeners today. For those born in the '70s, it's a nostalgic echo of their youth; for the '80s kids, it's a golden-age anthem; and for the '90s generation, it's a symbol of fiery ambition that lives far beyond the court.
Show Wesugi rose to fame as the frontman of WANDS, one of Japan's biggest rock acts during the '90s. Known for his explosive vocals and poetic lyricism, he wrote and performed some of the decade's most unforgettable tracks, including 'もっと強く抱きしめたなら' and '時の扉'. Over the years, Wesugi carved out a reputation as a rock poet -- one who wove emotion and existential depth into anthems that defined an era. With his solo career, he's continued to fly the flag for Japan's "lost rock ethos," unrelenting in his pure love for music.
At the Singapore show, fans can expect more than a standard concert -- it's a full-scale, high-impact celebration of Wesugi's 34-year journey in music. The setlist promises a nostalgic ride with timeless anime tracks, a medley of WANDS golden-era hits, and a live rendition of '世界中の誰よりきっと' -- a performance accompanied by falling snow and roses that's guaranteed to stir the soul. With support from a top Japanese live band and updated stage visuals, this tour is designed for maximum emotional and sensory impact.
For superfans, the Super VIP experience offers exclusive perks, including a one-on-one photo opportunity with Show Wesugi and a signed poster -- a rare chance to meet the voice behind one of anime's most beloved songs. Attendees will also enjoy early access and dedicated VIP lanes for an upgraded concert experience.
