[2023-05-04] Concert in Shizuoka at Shizuoka Shimin Bunka Kaikan Dai Hall

This Morning Musume.'23 concert took place at Shizuoka Shimin Bunka Kaikan Dai Hall in Shizuoka Prefecture as part of the Morning Musume '23 25th ANNIVERSARY CONCERT TOUR ~glad quarter-century~. 

Doors opened at 14:30 and the live started at 15:30.

Miki posted on her blog and on Instagram about the concert.

It was Morning Musume.'s first solo concert in Shizuoka since 2018. As Miki comes from the Shizuoka Prefecture, fans organized a "Chel Okaeri" ("Welcome back, Chel) fanproject to celebrate her return. In this framework, two fan exhibitions were also held in cafés near the concert venue: a first one entitled "Nonaka Miki-san", and another one entitled "Fukumura Mizu Ki no Morning Musume." ("Morning Musume. in the Fukumura Mizu Era") to congratulate Fukumura Mizuki on her upcoming graduation. 

Miki thanked the fans for the fanproject in her blog post from the day after. 

"Your Shizuoka Newspaper" also published an article to report on this fanproject (translation here).

Thank you for the performance in Shizuoka!!! I'm so happy there is a scenario in this world in which Morning Musume., that I love, come to my hometown... I took the wrong Shikansen and headed towards Shin-Yokohama instead of Shizuoka, which got me into some trouble, but it was fun in the end! Today, Ikuta Erina-chan was the cutest again! Love #EriponKawaii #EriponWayOfLife

During Morning Musume.'s performance in Shizuoka, the triumphant return of Nonaka Miki-san got the audience on fire. Everyone was so excited in the aftermath of JAPAN JAM. I would like to see this at Nippon Budokan soon.

The Chel's welcome back to Shizuoka Morning Musume.'23 performance was so much fun. Chel-chan's impersonation of Tama-chan was very accurate and cute, so I will be so happy so if she keeps doing it.

Morning Musume.'23's spring tour concert in Shizuoka, on May 4, 2023. Welcome back, Chel! Being able to clap my hands to do calls alongside the audience, and seeing Chel looking so happy during her triumphant return performance made me the happiest. I felt like this performance was steps ahead the first day's. I felt Shizuoka's warmth during the entire concert. #morningmusume23 #mm23_gqc
