What an honor this was. On March 7, 2026, I took part in Kaidol Fest 2026 at Freizeitzentrum Baumheide in Bielefeld, Germany — and not in the way I ever expected.
For the very first time, I stood on stage as a host. I guided the audience through the program and had the absolute joy of announcing the incredible overseas idols who had come together from so many different countries. That is the heart of Kaidol Fest — idols from all over the world on one stage — and getting to be the voice that welcomed each of them is something I'll treasure.
It was my first time ever taking the mic as a host, and it taught me a new kind of joy: not only singing myself, but lifting up everyone around me.
And then — because the audience and the idols there asked for it — I got to fill a little time with a song of my own. Completely unplanned, straight from the heart. To be wished onto that stage by the very people I had come to celebrate… I don't think I'll ever forget that feeling.
Thank you to Kaidol Fest, to every idol who shared the day, and to everyone who came. You gave me a first I'll always remember.
