Tegomass holds ‘Tegomass Tanabata Festival’ event for their new single
NEWS members Tegoshi Yuya (21) and Masuda Takahisa (23) also perform as the vocal duo Tegomass. Recently in Tokyo Tegomass held an event called ‘Tegomass Tanabata Festival’ to celebrate the release of their new single. The new song is titled ‘七夕祭り / Tanabata Matsuri (lit. Tanabata Festival)’, and in association with the popular summer festival Tegomass wore yukata (summer kimono) and performed 4 songs.
Tegoshi gazed at the fans who were also decked out in charming yukata, and said “Thanks. It’s a feast for the eyes☆” The 200 fans who attended the event also congratulated Masuda’s birthday, which had been on July 4th. Masuda seemed delighted and said “I’m off to a good start this year.”
Tegoshi also applauded his partner’s birthday with a smile, but the smile quickly became strained when he was asked about their first concert tour which will start on July 22nd. He replied “I am SO not ready for the MCing.” Masuda seemed equally nervous about the MCing, and ‘reassured’ Tegoshi by saying “Don’t worry. I don’t think the fans will expect us to be good at talking. Let’s both just concentrate on reaching out to our fans through our songs."
The pair wore matching yukatas with ☆(star) patterns, and Tegoshi wore one in red while Masuda wore a dark blue and white version. From shoulder to chest the yukatas were embroidered with lamed star patterns. They both looked perfect!
