(Comment by ICHIRO YAMAGUCHI)
What exactly is music?
Even when I tried to learn about it through the media, I still couldn't grasp the "true beauty of music" that I discovered after becoming a musician.

It's been 12 years since my debut.
We are incredibly excited to have the opportunity to create a new music program for a new era together with Director YUSUKE TANAKA and the other creators and staff who support us.

Sugar & Sugar is a music show that is a little different from the ones you've seen before. Please check it out!

(About the title)
The same, yet different.
The difference is only noticeable when they are mixed together.

"Sugar and Sugar."

The title of this program expresses our desire to make people aware of the nostalgia and newness that are usually lost in music.

There is also an aspect where rhythm trumps meaning.
Once you say it, you'll never forget the familiar yet new sound of the words.

After watching the show, you'll definitely want to shout out "Sugar Sugar!"
