Overview

Kiyotaka Sugiyama, the iconic voice behind the 80s City Pop phenomenon and frontman of S. Kiyotaka & Omega Tribe, continues to be a driving force in the Japanese music scene in 2026. This year, his performance schedule is remarkably diverse, ranging from his beloved Acoustic Solo Tours—noted for their intimate atmosphere and storytelling—to high-energy rock unit collaborations. Sugiyama’s crystalline vocals and “resort pop” aesthetic have seen a massive global resurgence, making his live shows a bridge between nostalgic Showa-era melodies and modern musical sophistication.

The 2026 calendar is highlighted by massive collaborative events, most notably the “City Pop Studio LIVE vol.3” and a monumental joint performance with the legendary Stardust Revue and his original band, Omega Tribe, at Pia Arena MM. Whether he is performing solo with an acoustic guitar or leading a full symphonic orchestra, Sugiyama maintains a reputation for vocal precision and a warm, engaging stage presence. From the seaside vibes of his annual summer open-air concerts to exclusive billboard live sets, 2026 offers fans multiple ways to experience the definitive sound of Japanese City Pop.

Why Attend

• Experience the legendary “high-tenor” vocals of Kiyotaka Sugiyama live, a voice that remains remarkably unchanged since his chart-topping debut in 1983.
• Witness historic collaborations, including the special reunion of Kiyotaka Sugiyama & Omega Tribe alongside Stardust Revue for a rare stadium-scale performance in Yokohama.
• Enjoy the versatility of his artistry through various formats, from intimate acoustic sessions in cultural halls to elite trio performances with fellow legends Yoshitaka Minami and Ami Ozaki.
