G-SHOCK, which has created a new value of toughness in wristwatches, will celebrate its 40th anniversary next April. To commemorate this milestone, a kick-off event, "G-SHOCK PREMIUM NIGHT," was held on December 5 at Billboard Live Tokyo in Roppongi, Tokyo, and was open to all by invitation only.
In the first part of the event, as well as the announcement of new anniversary models, Kikuo Ibe, the creator of "G-Shock," gave a conference on the secret story behind the development of the product.
The second part, which was the highlight of the event, featured a live performance by the music unit TM NETWORK, which will also celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2023. The gorgeous set list included "Beyond the Time (Beyond the Universe of Mobius)," "BE TOGETHER," and "Get Wild" with an aggressive keyboard solo by Tetsuya Komuro.
In addition, Awich, a leading figure in the Japanese hip-hop world, appeared as a surprise guest. In the form of a session with Mr. Komuro, he sang "Queendom x SWEET 19 BLUES" while freestyling, bringing the tension in the venue to a peak.
