Why it matters
A newspaper web column stepping into a ticketed hall with two separate guests is the column's move from text into a paid live format, and the plan to publish the day's talk back on Machi★Sowa keeps the print and web project feeding the event.

Ukon Onoe guests at the day show and Akito Teshima at the evening show. Each session runs 100 minutes with talk and four songs. The Machi★Sowa advance lottery opens November 10, 2026 at 18:00.
The venue is Yomiuri Otemachi Hall, and both performances share the same theme: QOL, the subject Arisawa probes with each guest. The format pairs talk with singing, four songs per session, using recorded audio for the performance and accompaniment. There is no intermission, and the running time is 100 minutes (planned).
The two guests arrive by different routes. Onoe works as a kabuki actor and as a Kiyomoto singer; the day show is his first reunion with Arisawa in about four years since they co-starred in the musical "Jersey Boys." Teshima, a solo artist after his time as SOLIDEMO's main vocalist, worked with Arisawa in the musical "Lady Bess" in spring 2026. The day's talk is scheduled to run as a column on Machi★Sowa.
