Ken Matsudaira x Croquette 45th Anniversary Special Performance is a hilarious, nostalgic theater odyssey by Ken Matsudaira (born 1958 in Tokyo), the enka-pop sensation known for his flamboyant “Matsuken Samba” series that sparked a national craze in the 2000s, blending traditional enka with samba rhythms and extravagant costumes, selling over 5 million copies and earning him NHK Red and White appearances, collaborating with comedian Croquette (Masatoshi Hamada’s comedy group, known for celebrity impersonations and musical sketches) for a 45th anniversary celebration of Matsudaira’s career, featuring comedic impersonations, samba numbers, and anniversary tributes in a special stage show.
