During the opening ceremony, Nakashima was joined by Masato Kitaguchi, Executive Producer of Billboard Live TAIPEI, and Koichi Shirai, CEO of Credo Holdings. The event included a ribbon-cutting ceremony and the presentation of commemorative gifts. Nakashima expressed her gratitude, stating, “It is a great honor to be invited to perform the very first show at this memorable venue.” Shirai presented her with “Kaki (Persimmon),” a glass art piece symbolizing good fortune and harmony, emphasizing its significance through a heartfelt explanation.
As Nakashima took the stage barefoot and greeted the audience in Chinese, “大家好，我是中島美嘉 (Hello everyone, I’m Mika Nakashima!),” attendees erupted in cheers, setting the tone for a captivating evening. The performance began with her beloved song “Hanataba,” followed by hits such as “Sakura-iro Mau Koro,” “Glamorous Sky,” and “Love is Ecstasy.”
Throughout the show, Nakashima engaged with the audience, sharing light-hearted moments and interacting with guests, creating an intimate atmosphere. One audience member remarked, “I can’t believe I was able to see Mika Nakashima this close—this was truly the best performance of my life, something I will never forget. The food and drinks were also excellent.”
Billboard Live TAIPEI aims to deliver exceptional experiences not only in music but also in dining. The cuisine is curated by Chef Yoshifumi Kishigami, a French chef with over 35 years of experience in Japanese hotel restaurants. Additionally, the venue’s drink offerings are managed by Hsu Chen-Hsuan, a champion of the Suntory Cocktail Competition in Taiwan. Upcoming performances will feature a diverse lineup of international artists, including Nathan East, Vivian Hsu, Do As Infinity, and Eric Martin, among others.
