On September 11th, the first live event hosted by the entertainment production company "Aopro" (Sakuragawa) was held at Aomori's live bar "Heartbeat" (Honmachi, Aomori).

On the day of the event, the affiliated talents acted as MCs, and the affiliated talents performed live and dance performances centering on the “GMU (Gourmet Music Unit)”, the tourism ambassadors of Aomori City.

Keinosuke Takasugi, the president and founder of the company, is from Aomori. Taking advantage of his training experience in Italy, he runs "Italian Dining Bar Kei" (Hashimoto). In 2015 (Heisei 27), he formed a regional revitalization idol group "GMU" with the theme of Aomori ingredients, and served as the representative and producer.

He had both restaurant management and production business, but in June of this year, he suffered a stroke. At one point, his condition became life-threatening, but he was discharged after three weeks. Looking back, Mr. Takasugi said, ``I started to think about my future life, and decided that I wanted to stop running a store and liven up Aomori with entertainment.'' I made up my mind to establish a production company, and with the cooperation of my colleagues, I was able to establish the company in about a month.

The event will be held in two parts: Marble, an idol born in the Showa-dori shopping street in Aomori City, Fumiya, who started her career as a singer after appearing in "EXILE Generation", and SUK, a dancer and choreographer who has two bases in Tokyo. Affiliated talents such as Mr. A wide range of genres of entertainment was presented.

After the event, Takasugi said, "Thank you for coming to so many customers. Ao Pro Live will continue to be a place for our artists' activities and a place to get to know our artists once every three months. I want to continue at this pace,” he said enthusiastically.

The next meeting will be held on December 18th.
