The context

Snow Man is a highly popular nine-member Japanese idol group, managed by START ENTERTAINMENT (formerly Johnny & Associates). Known for their acrobatic performances, strong vocals, and diverse individual talents, they have garnered a massive fanbase both in Japan and internationally.

"Omisoka" refers to New Year's Eve in Japan, a culturally significant day when families gather, traditional foods are eaten, and people often watch special television programs, including music shows. A special live performance by a major idol group on this day is a significant event for fans, offering a chance to celebrate the end of the year and welcome the new one with their favorite artists.

The "Sunomisoka" event, named by combining "Snow Man" and "Omisoka," is particularly notable for being fan-request driven and, surprisingly, free to stream. This approach strengthens the bond between the group and its fanbase, allowing fans to feel directly involved in the concert's creation and making it accessible to a wider audience, including those who might be working during the holiday period. Such initiatives are a hallmark of Japanese idol culture, emphasizing fan engagement and appreciation.
