Japanese hitmaker Gen Hoshino teamed up with British DJ and music producer Mark Ronson for a double-headlining concert at Chiba's Makuhari Messe on Monday night (Dec. 17).
The Grammy Award-winning Ronson kicked off the one-night-only show with a special DJ set that kept the crowd of 20,000 dancing from start to finish. Addressing the floor in Japanese from time to time, he kept the party going with a string of hits, including his latest single, "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" featuring Miley Cyrus, and his smash hit "Uptown Funk" featuring Bruno Mars, which continues to chart on the Billboard Japan Hot Overseas 2018 year-end tally four years after its release.
Hoshino followed with his own special set featuring popular songs old and new, opening his segment with a marimba cover of Martin Denny's "Firecracker" -- like he did during his Continues Tour from last year -- then performing "Why Don't You Play in Hell?," the theme song of a 2013 Sion Sono movie he starred in.
