Snow Man's highly anticipated appearance at the 'Music Station SUPER LIVE 2024' was marked by unexpected changes due to their late arrival on December 27, 2024. Originally scheduled to perform later in the evening, the group found themselves needing to adjust their plans after attending their concert at the Kyocera Dome Osaka earlier the same day.
According to reports from various outlets, including Model Press, the nine-member boy band had been set to follow the legendary rock band L'Arc-en-Ciel, who were to close the show. Due to Snow Man's delayed arrival, L'Arc-en-Ciel took the stage first. "Originally, it was meant to be Snow Man's turn, but we had to change plans because they were running late," announced sub-MC Shin-Ai Suzuki during the broadcast.
Snow Man, who performed at their concert from 3 PM, raced to the venue, arriving just minutes before they were scheduled to go live. They managed to arrive around 10 minutes prior to the show's conclusion, just in time to delight fans with their performances of 'SBY' and 'Brother Beat.' Their entry was just before the closing moments of the live broadcast, much to the relief of fans who had been anxiously watching the schedule.
Fans expressed mixed emotions on social media, with many thanking L'Arc-en-Ciel for stepping up to fill the gap. One Twitter user posted, "Thank you, L'Arc-en-Ciel, for accommodating Snow Man!" Another expressed the sentiment many felt: "I was so worried they wouldn’t make it!" After their performance, Snow Man extended their apologies to both the audience and host Tamori, with member Ryohei Abe stating, "We’re really sorry for our late arrival. Our flight was delayed."
The live event captivated audiences with over six hours of musical performances from various artists and stunning collaborations unique to this year’s event. The swift onstage adjustments reflect the dynamic nature of live entertainment, where artists often face unforeseen circumstances. Snow Man’s resilience and ability to deliver even under pressure speaks volumes to their growing prominence in the J-Pop industry.
After taking the stage, the band captured the audience's heart, showcasing their vibrant dance and vocal skills. Their energy was infectious, culminating with Tamori joining them for the signature 'Shee' pose from 'Brother Beat,' celebrating their successful performance after the stressful day.
Overall, the 'Music Station SUPER LIVE 2024' had its share of unexpected twists, yet it proved to be another memorable chapter for Snow Man as they continue to forge their path as leading figures within the world of J-Pop. Fans left the event buzzing with excitement and gratitude, reflecting the close-knit relationship between artists and their loyal supporters.
