America’s Got Talent Season 17 Semi Final
MPLUSPLUS appeared in the semifinals of season 17 of NBC’s America’s Got Talent, having been selected from over 20,000 applicants. In addition to their LED ribbon, which received a standing ovation from the judges and the audience during their first performance, they showcased a newly developed LED VISION UMBRELLA and LED masks designed during the pandemic specifically for this show. The audience gave them a big round of applause, and they received the highest praise from judge Simon Cowell, who said, “Isn’t that a Vegas act?”
The performance team for the semifinals included representative Minoru Fujimoto, Yuji Shirasu and Kohei Ono (MPLUSPLUS STAGE), Matsuri, KoTa, NATSUKA and Tossi.(MPLUSPLUS DANCERS), Aimi, Izumi Aoki and yellow.BENA(Performer / team ECRiN), Yui, Ren, Takuya and SetoKen (Dancer / Choreographer), for a total of 14 members.
Although they did not make it to the finals through the live broadcast’s viewer voting limited to the United States, their appearance on the show has prompted MPLUSPLUS to pursue further overseas expansion.
