Akiko Wada to Perform in the US!

Popular singer and actress Wada Akiko will hold her first concert outside of Japan on September 29th. Venturing to Harlem, New York, Wada will perform at the famous Apollo Theater, less than a month before her 40th anniversary in the music industry. She is reported to be the only Japanese artist to have ever achieved a solo concert in the venue.

One of the memorable features of the show will be the guest appearance of the ARC Choir, a unit formed by Addicts Rehabilitation Center, for whom Wada previously worked alongside on the television show aired four years ago. Despite further special features being organized for the event, Wada has expressed her sadness that she would not be able to perform with her idol, Ray Charles.
