HONG KONG – Keung “AK” To, Vice-Captain of the acclaimed Cantonese pop group MIRROR, announced his participation in the immersive MIX SOME MUSIC! festival, scheduled for April 4th at AsiaWorld–Expo, during the launch of the CON-CON HONG KONG 2026 cultural event in Sha Tin today. To expressed enthusiasm for the large-scale cross-industry collaboration, confirming he would deliver both his original songs and surprise throwback performances, promising a blend of nostalgia and fresh theatrical energy.
The announcement was made during the unveiling of CON-CON HONG KONG 2026, an expansive initiative focused on international and Asian intellectual property (IP) trends and culture. To, who has increasingly engaged with projects linking music and animation, shared his personal excitement about the festival’s lineup.
Anticipating Anime Icons and Mystery Duets
The singer highlighted his anticipation for sharing the stage with Japanese legend Yoko Takahashi, known globally for performing iconic anime theme songs. To specifically mentioned growing up listening to her work and looks forward to meeting and taking photos with the renowned vocalist during the event. He also noted the presence of Japanese band Oyasumi Hologram on the roster, aiming to network and potentially secure future collaborations.
For his performance, To plans to tap into communal childhood memories by performing several well-loved anime theme tracks alongside his solo repertoire. He also teased a highly anticipated on-stage collaboration.
“I’m planning a temporary duo and bringing a close friend up on stage to create a real sense of novelty,” To revealed. While keeping the identity of his partner secret, he confirmed the guest is neither a MIRROR member nor a teammate, joking that securing two MIRROR members simultaneously is a logistical headache. “This person is not a MIRROR member, but he is my good brother,” he stated, fueling speculation among fans.
Balancing Creativity and Commercial Appeal
Beyond the stage, To discussed his personal connection to the world of IP and collectibles. He recalled being unable to afford merchandise as a child, only beginning to indulge his collector’s passion after achieving professional success.
“The first two years after I started working, I bought so much that it filled an entire storage unit,” To confessed with a laugh. He added he has since become more disciplined, intending to wait until he can secure a larger space before renewing his collecting efforts.
While balancing his musical ventures, To shared that he is currently immersed in a television drama production, valuing the chance to hone his acting skills after a hiatus from the genre. A new single is slated for release in early March.
Looking ahead, the star confirmed rumors that his entertainment group is developing a major variety show involving a wide array of agency talent. He believes the program will be highly entertaining, noting it will pair artists who haven’t previously worked together, a departure from the group’s usual collaborations among MIRROR members.
Regarding his availability, To openly expressed envy for MIRROR colleagues Anson Lo (Lu Han-ting) and Edan Lui (Lui Cheuk-an), who are scheduled for concert dates in Macau in April. He lightheartedly advertised his own open schedule, welcoming commercial partnerships and invitations for solo shows, or joint appearances with MIRROR Captain Lokman Yeung or with the energetic “FING group,” showcasing the versatility of those combinations. The move signals a proactive effort by the members to expand their performance opportunities beyond core band activities.
