What To Know

Pairing three of the biggest anime franchises with a full orchestra and the actual theme-song artists, rather than just screening episodes, is a genuinely different way to experience these series live.

Anime theme-song concerts paired with orchestral scoring are an established live-event format in Japan, treating anime music as concert repertoire in its own right rather than background audio - this event brings that format to a public, free, Tokyo Metropolitan Government-backed stage.
