'Gingira Gin ni Sarigenaku' legend Japanese singer Masahiko Kondo (Kondo Masahiko) successfully concluded his first Korean concert in 47 years since his debut.

'Kondo Masahiko held his first-ever solo concert in Korea on June 27 at the WON Banking Hall of Blues Square in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, with a capacity of 1,300 seats. The concert, held 47 years after his debut, sold out all seats on the day.

'The concert was titled "Masahiko Kondo ~ Oh Match You 2026! Special in Seoul". Kondo Masahiko performed three songs in succession, including the opening track "Taisho" (), and then greeted the audience in Korean: "Hello, I am Kondo Masahiko. Have you all been well? I love you so much." Regarding his first visit to Korea, he stated, "I am truly happy and grateful to hold a concert in Korea for the first time in 47 years since my debut."

'Sneaker Blues' (スニーカーぶる〜す), "Blue Jeans Memory" (ブルージーンズ メモリー), "High Teen Boogie" (ハイティーン・ブギ), and "Orokamono" (か) were performed on stage. Kondo Masahiko sang a total of 23 songs over approximately two hours with a live band, while the audience enthusiastically cheered "Match" and "Masahiko."

'Gingira Gin ni Sarigenaku' (ギンギラギンにさりげなく), his representative hit song, was performed during the encore. Regarding this song, he recalled, "It was already 40 years ago, but at that time, roller skating was very popular in Korea, and this song was played in every skating rink. Ironically, the song itself was far more famous than the name Kondo Masahiko."

'Shin Yu' and 'Takuya' participated as special guests at the concert. Shin Yu performed a duet of "Yuyakeno Uta" (けの) with Kondo Masahiko, while Takuya joined him on stage for "Gingira Gin ni Sarigenaku" (ギンギラギンにさりげなく).
