#MamaSony Chronicles: @summer_sonic Japan was always a dream festival for me to have a Filipino artist on. So when Naoki Shimizu-san, Founder/Managing Director/CEO, confirmed he was interested to come see @SB19Official live, I personally rolled out the red carpet, picking him up from the airport in my husband’s new car, at pinakain ko pa siya enroute to PH arena kasi no time talaga to eat in a proper restaurant. It was his first visit sa Pinas; & after locating our seats, he went around by himself just checking out the venue & observing #ATIN. Imagine my surprise when I found out milestone birthday weekend pala yun. Buti nalang mabilis gumalaw ang @sonymusicph team at mababait talaga ang #ESBI. Can you believe they sang to him after that glorious but exhausting #SimulaAtWakas Kick-Off?
My 1st call when @yanidedios told me #SummerSonicXSB19 was confirmed? Siyempre my husband. Kasi tanong niya nung May 31, kumain ba daw kami sa bago niyang car? 😬 Worth it naman pala, diba? 🤩 So siya yung Plus 1 ko sa Tokyo 🤪
LOOK WHO'S INVITED! The CEO of Summersonic, Naoki Shimizu-san, revealed that he flew all the way to the Philippines just to watch #SB19’s Simula at Wakas concert at PH Arena.
He was so amazed that he invited SB19 to be part of #SummerSonic2026!

Okay here’s the Japanese translation, Mga Kaps!
Actually, the CEO mistakenly said sa interview na 100k-capacity ang Philippine Arena. 😂
CEO: A Famous National Artist, actually I once watched their live concert, in an arena that holds 100,000 people…
Sasha MC: Wait, there’s a 100,000-capacity arena in the Philippines?
Suzuki MC: Arena????!
CEO: Yes, and they sold-out 2days concert there.
Suzuki MC: 200,000 people?! That’s insane!!
CEO: They told me they want to perform in Summersonic, it was like a reverse-offer,
and I was like “I would really love to see you perform this year! “. That’s why I placed them in Pacific Stage.
Suzuki MC: That’s amazing!

There is this P-pop girl group called Xonara. They are under 1Z Entertainment, the company founded by SB19. The members also take part in writing and composing their music, and honestly, I didn’t feel any cringe at all! Their vocals and dance performance are really solid. ❤️🔥
SB19 draws worldwide crowd to the Philippines 🇵🇭 🔥
Wakas at Simula was a massive success, A'TIN! Our P-Pop Kings shined at the SMDC Festival Grounds with thunderous performances of their biggest hits, drawing fans from across the world and turning the moment into a true global celebration in the Philippines.
The sold-out show was co-produced by Live Nation PH Managing Director Rhiza Pascua and 1Z Entertainment, and was directed by Paolo Valenciano.
Our MAHALIMA made us all proud and ecstatic, delivering an unforgettable finale to their concert series. We feel the power, @SB19Official!

hating SB19 because of stan-twitter drama is a choice. You're missing out on world-class talent because you'd rather listen to haters and toxic alt accounts than your own ears.
