Overview

Step back into the golden era of the 1980s with a special joint performance by two of Japan’s most iconic “Eternal Idols,” Matsumoto Iyo and Hayami Yu. Matsumoto Iyo, who debuted in 1981 with the massive hit “Sentimental Journey,” became a household name for her charming persona and signature catchphrases. Joining her is the “Bilingual Girl” Hayami Yu, whose international background and hit single “Passionate Sexy Girl” made her a standout star. Together, they represent the peak of the Japanese idol heyday, and today they continue to dazzle audiences with their timeless beauty and stage presence.
