For those of you preparing to make the journey to Odaiba for Tokyo Idol Festival 2015, you may have noticed the big “Coming Soon” slot from 10:15-10:45am on the second day at Heat Garage (Zepp Diver City) but, how many of you wondered who it might be?

While there are definitely a lot of great groups that have not been invited this year, there must be some reason for such secrecy. If the organizers are taking the “save the best for last” approach, it has to be someone truly special. Let us look at some performers who might have a chance at being the surprise performer at Tokyo Idol Festival on August 2nd.

Probability: Impossible

Who do you think the “coming soon” performer will be? We tried to list as many groups which seemed to be big enough to warrant not revealing the name when the time table was put on the Tokyo Idol Festival 2015 site. It’s not like they would make fans wait without knowing unless it was really someone special, right? All we can do is wait and see but, it would be really regrettable to not go and hear about how amazing it was after!
