Legendary Soft Rock Duo Air Supply Celebrates 50 Years with a Spectacular Live Concert in Passi City, lloilo

 Air Supply 50th Anniversary Celebration

Passi City, (21 Nov) – The legendary soft rock duo Air Supply is finally coming to Passi

City as part of their spectacular 50th Anniversary World Tour. Save the date, 11

January 2026, as they take the stage at the City of Passi Arena for an unforgettable

night of iconic hits, timeless melodies, and pure nostalgia that fans will cherish for years

to come.

If it’s true that practice makes perfect, then Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock –

beloved by their millions of fans across the planet as Air Supply – have had nearly half a

century to hone their skills, harness their passion and unleash the beautifully intimate

yet rockin’ romantic energy of those instantly identifiable 80s hits that made them global

superstars.

As they close in on 50 years (exact date, May 12, 1975) since they met in the chorus of

the Australian touring company of Jesus Christ Superstar, the duo is ever-present on

the road in North America and overseas to the tune of 130 dates a year - and look

forward to a milestone 5500 th live show in fall 2024. This run includes being the first

Western group to tour China and several other countries who prior to their breakthrough

would not allow pop music across their borders, as well as performing for a record

175,000 people in Cuba in 2005.

Air Supply’s overall sales and airplay stats are equally astounding, equaling their heroes

The Beatles’ run of five consecutive Top Five Singles (“Lost in Love,” “All Out of Love,”

“Every Woman in the World,” “The One That You Love,” “Here I Am”); selling a

collective total of 20 million copies of their first three albums (Lost in Love, The One

That You Love, Now & Forever) and the 1983 Greatest Hits collection; achieving multi-

million radio plays for five of their hits (including “Sweet Dreams” and the Jim Steinman-

penned “Making Love Out of Nothing At All”); and having Graham honored with a BMI

Million-Air Certificate recognizing three million performances of “All Out Of Love.”

Under musical direction of lead guitarist Aaron McLain, the ensemble includes Mirko

Tessandori (piano/keyboards/vocals), Pavel Valdman (drums) and Doug Gild (bass).

Graham and Russell will mark their milestone with exciting projects in a variety of

media. These include a biopic titled All Out of Love: The Air Supply Story, a Broadway

comedy-drama musical featuring their songs (Lost in Love) and an as yet to be titled

autobiography by Graham and Russell. The duo will also be releasing their 18th studio

album A Matter of Time, produced by Brian Howes, along with a very special vinyl

compilation.

Tickets are expected to sell out quickly, so fans are encouraged to secure their seats

early. Get ready for a night of pure musical magic as Air Supply brings their legendary

sound to Passi City!

Air Supply 50th Anniversary Celebration will take place on 11 January 2026 (Sunday) at

City of Passi Arena, starting at 7PM. Tickets will go on One Day Only Priority Sale on 26

November at 12PM via sistic.com.sg with a 10% discount, while public sale begins on

27 November at 12PM at premier.ticketworld.com.ph and sistic.com.sg.

NINO’s Latest Track “Flutter, Lover” Is A Dreamy Daze

A mesmerizing entry into the RnB/Soul genre, Diorama's NINO has just released his latest single, "Flutter, Lover," a song that talks about personal aspirations, and a partner who's got your back.

When asked about the concept, NINO shared a poetic vision: "While writing, I was imagining myself lying in bed while looking up at a butterfly fluttering delicately above me. I wanted to be like the butterfly, free enough to hover in the air and be confident despite all my fragility."  A common theme of NINO's songs, surrendering yourself to its melody and dreamy lyrics will put you in a daze — much like the gentle beat of a butterfly's wings. His unique vocals paired with his imaginative lyrical narrative is a day dreaming combo.

More than the "flutter" portion of the song, "lover" reframes it through an intimate lens—as NINO puts it, "In another lens, I see the butterfly as my partner. Someone who exudes beauty, whom I admire deeply and inspires me to become a better version of myself." Whether you're drawn to the whimsical "flutter" side, the heartfelt "lover" perspective, or the blend of both emotional spectrums, "Flutter, Lover" will reel you in with its playful, sincere, and intimate vibes.

Stream "Flutter, Lover" now on your favorite platforms, and follow NINO and Diorama FM on all social media platforms for updates.

 

Japanese Film Festival 2025 is Back at UPFI—and Making Its SM City Manila Debut!

MANILA, PHILIPPINES—Following the success of its first Metro Manila leg at Shangri-La Plaza, the Japanese Film Festival (JFF) 2025 returns to one of its longtime partner venues—the UPFI Cine Adarna—and, for the first time, expands its reach to SM City Manila, marking an exciting milestone for the festival’s growing audience in the capital.

Previously closed for renovations during JFF’s February run, the UPFI Cine Adarna now reopens its doors with a full lineup of Japanese cinema. From October 10 to 18, audiences can enjoy eight days of screenings featuring 12 films, a mix of contemporary titles and restored classics that highlight the depth and diversity of Japanese filmmaking.

Among this year’s must-see selections are IWAI Shunji’s Love Letter (1995)—newly restored in 4K and screening on October 10, 7:00 PM as the UPFI opening film—OSHII Mamoru’s cyberpunk masterpiece GHOST IN THE SHELL (1995), and KUROSAWA Akira’s timeless epic SEVEN SAMURAI (1954).

Audiences can also look forward to a virtual talkback with director IWAI Shunji after the screening of Love Letter on October 18, 4:20 PM. The talk will offer rare insights into Iwai’s creative process, as the film continues to resonate with new generations of viewers.

As part of this year’s festival experience, the beloved JFF Stamp Rally returns—inviting audiences to collect stamps on their festival brochures for a chance to win limited-edition JFF tote bags and special JFF chocolates provided by Theo and Philo Artisan Chocolates. Festival-goers are reminded to bring their brochures to every screening, as these are non-transferable and cannot be combined with other

entries. However, attendees from other regional JFF screenings or the Shangri-La Plaza leg may continue using their existing brochures and stamps for the final raffle.

Adding to the excitement, audiences are encouraged to join the JFF Theater Raffle by scanning the onsite JFF Theater QR code to register for a JFF Theater account, for a chance to win an exclusive JFF t-shirt, announced after each screening.

After UPFI, the celebration of Japanese cinema continues as JFF heads to SM City Manila, opening on October 17 and running until October 26. The SM City Manila leg will serve as the closing stop for this year’s festival, capping off months of screenings and cultural exchange across the Philippines.

Simultaneously, JFF screenings in the regions kicked off last September 26 and will

continue in Davao this coming October 10 at SM Lanang; and in Clark on October 17 at

SM City Clark.

The Japanese Film Festival 2025 is organized by The Japan Foundation, Manila,

supported by the Embassy of Japan, JTI Philippines, and Theo and Philo Artisan

Chocolates, with venue partners Shangri-La Plaza Red Carpet Cinemas, UPFI Cine

Adarna, the Philippine Association of Communication and Media Research, Inc.,

and SM Supermalls and Cinemas.

See you at the movies!
