On December 4th, a mini-live by Tsugaru dialect chanson singer, Ren Akita, will be held at Okutsu Light Mabetsu Station (Imabetsu, Higashitsugaru-gun).

The station, which opened in March 26 with the opening of the Hokkaido Shinkansen, has a population of 2,800 and is located in Imabetsu-cho. Imabetsu Town is publicizing as "the smallest Shinkansen town in Japan", and the live was planned as the third "Hokkaido Shinkansen Okutsu Light Mabetsu Station Hospitality Event".

Mr. Akita is from Hirosaki and runs a chanson bar "Ren" (Kojimachi, Hirosaki City). This is my 48th year as a singer. A live performance of Tsugaru dialect and chanson singing in French is performed every day at the same store, and many fans come from inside and outside the prefecture.

Mr. Akita said, "Imabetsu-cho is known for "Yo Ko Ko Adane Village" (a village where the sun doesn't hit) sung by Tsugaru dialect poet Kyozo Takagi, who was an old friend of the shop. There are many opportunities to read this poem live, and I am honored to be able to sing in such a place. This will be the first live in Betsumachi.

On the same day, in addition to two mini-lives, the free behavior of simmered tuna (ends as soon as it disappears) and the Okutsu Light Noshi Ranch (Imabetsu Town) will sell special products such as skewered boar meat.

Holding time is from 15:45 to 17:15. An admission ticket (170 yen) is required for viewing inside the ticket gate entrance.
