sis at Kameido Clock: An Afternoon of Songs and Fan Connections

KANO MIYU and MAKOTO. deliver a short, vivid year-end Tokyo stage

On December 31, 2024, a Kameido Clock event in Tokyo—the sis (SIS/T) mini live—ended successfully. It offered fans visiting Tokyo for the year-end a special experience, with KANO MIYU and MAKOTO. performing close to the audience. A small stage in the shopping mall’s center allowed people to enjoy music alongside passing shoppers, an unusual setting for a live encounter.

Preparations and the atmosphere before the show

Before the show, audiences joined merchandise sales to obtain priority admission. The merchandise consisted of instant-photo cheki prints, with priority-entry and high-five tickets distributed randomly upon purchase. Buying several prints offered additional high-five opportunities after the show. Entry numbers were allocated randomly, and admission followed their order.

The performance unfolds

At 4:30 p.m., following idol group iSPY’s show, sis took over the stage. Mall conditions, entry numbers and limited space restricted some fans’ movement, but attention quickly focused on the group’s arrival.

The roughly 30-minute mini live included “Dancing Queen”, “Love’s Battery” (Japanese version), “Stay with me”, “Aoi Sangoshou”, “Love’s Battery” (Korean version). Despite the short duration, the audience could concentrate on varied musical colors and the members’ performances.

Members encouraged responses through gestures and expressions, but mall rules prohibited loud cheering, leaving audiences to listen quietly. Even in those conditions, the singers made eye contact and drew listeners deeper into the stage.

Fan connection through a high-five event

After the show, a high-five event took place. Fans presented previously purchased tickets, briefly touched hands with members and exchanged greetings. Some fans yielded their places so others could experience it, offering a glimpse of consideration and connection among fans.

Although the mini live was short, the chance to connect closely immediately afterward offered an intimacy difficult to experience at a large concert.

What the mini live conveyed

The short stage effectively communicated sis’s musical identity and the members’ performance. At year-end in Tokyo, it provided a meaningful occasion for a group continuing its Japanese activities to strengthen its presence through direct audience contact.

It offered music at close range and a special chance to enjoy the year-end atmosphere together. This form of fan communication also demonstrated potential for sis to work across varied performance formats in Japan.
