Homecoming Songs

ENTERTAINMENT 2023 30 min Episode(s): 6 english Japanese
If you gave a concert in your old school music room, what would you sing? Every artist has a hometown, a place where they charted their future and made memories before their big debut; perhaps returning will strike a chord of long-forgotten memories. "Homecoming Songs" is a docuseries that follows different artists back to the places they grew up, and helps them to reconnect with the youths they were before they became stars. Each artist is given a "welcome home notebook" to leaf through with questions, and the chance to reconnect and reminisce with old classmates and those who helped them on their way to stardom. Finally, the artists give live performances in their old school music rooms. While reconnecting with their younger selves and calling back memories of the past, what kind of performance will each artist give? A performance that can only be evoked in the music room of their alma mater! Here their voices ring!
