Sounds neat.

So it takes the usual spot but for an hour right?

At least this can provide a better celebration for the series. Hope the cover good selection of songs.

I want The Rivals, OK!, Advance Adventure, and (this is wishful-thinking) Battle Frontier more than anything.

This could either be a show with a bunch of guests or mainly a Rica Matsumoto concert though neither of which would be bad. I doubt she’s performed some of the classic songs in forever so it’d be fun. There’s the aforementioned Rivals and OK!, Ready Go, Challenger, Spurt, Best Wishes, Be an Arrow, XYZ, Alola, etc

An acoustic version of the Ash Greninja theme would be nice...
