Sakurazaka46 will perform on NHK's "Uta-Con" music show on March 10th as part of a special program commemorating 15 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake.

The show, airing at 7:57 PM on NHK General, will feature a mix of contemporary and veteran Japanese artists. Alongside Sakurazaka46, the lineup includes beloved folk-rock duo Yuzu, Okinawan singer Natsukawa Rimi, classical crossover artist Akikawa Masafumi, and indie folk duo Humbert Humbert.

The program will also showcase veteran enka performers Sen Masao and Tendo Yoshimi, plus rising singer Niihama Leon, creating a diverse musical tribute spanning multiple generations and genres.

"Uta-Con" regularly features special themed episodes for significant cultural moments, and this earthquake memorial edition reflects the show's role in bringing together Japan's musical community during times of remembrance. For Sakurazaka46, this appearance continues their presence on major national broadcasts, helping introduce their music to audiences beyond their core fanbase.

The variety of artists chosen suggests the program will blend different musical styles to honor the earthquake's legacy, from Sakurazaka46's contemporary pop to Yuzu's heartfelt folk-rock and Natsukawa Rimi's distinctive Okinawan-influenced vocals. This type of cross-generational collaboration is common in Japanese commemorative programming, uniting different musical traditions under shared cultural moments.
