If the popularity and hype surrounding Huntr/x and Saja Boys from KPop Demon Hunters are any indication, fictional bands and music groups are all the rage. As more and more music from make-believe bands enter conventional music charts and find positioning on most-streamed lists, it’s safe to say that this trend of real life and fiction blurring together is here to stay.
Fans of the highly acclaimed Japanese drama series Glass Heart will be over the moon to hear this, as the show’s fictional band Tenblank is due to make its real-world debut with an exciting fan meet scheduled for November this year!
On November 19, Takeru Satoh – who plays Naoki Fujitani in Glass Heart, the frontman of the music group – will come to Hong Kong as part of the ‘Tenblank from Glass Heart Fan Meeting - Asia Tour feat. Takeru Satoh’. Unfortunately, the full band members of Tenblank will not be present at the Hong Kong fan meet, but this one-day event at the AsiaWorld-Expo will be your chance to see the Japanese actor Satoh in the flesh, and he’ll most likely be in character in all of Fujitani’s slouchy, chin-tilting, smirking, rock god glory.
If you watched the series and enjoyed the songs immensely, then this is a great chance to hear tracks such as Crystalline Echo, Unbroken, Lucky Me, and Chasing Blurry Lines performed live. We’re keeping our fingers crossed Satoh also covers Utada Hikaru’s First Love like he did in Glass Hearts as an Easter egg (because he starred in the First Love series back in 2022, remember?).
Tickets are available for either $699 or $899.
