A New Healing Planetarium Experience: 'Sora ni Tokeru Yoru'

Prepare yourself for an extraordinary journey as the latest installment of the healing planetarium series, titled 'Sora ni Tokeru Yoru - Uchu Healing', is set to premiere in November 2026 at the three Konica Minolta Planetarium locations in Tokyo: Ikebukuro, Yurakucho, and Oshiage. This immersive experience combines the magical essence of aromatherapy with stunning visuals and soothing music, creating an atmosphere where attendees can truly relax and get lost in the wonders of the universe.

An Unique Astronomical Adventure

The show invites viewers on a breathtaking adventure that begins on a beach at night. From this tranquil setting, attendees embark on a serene balloon flight that ascends into the stratosphere. This journey takes them past the bounds of the earth, all the way to the moon, before diving deep into the vastness of space. Scenes capture the beauty of Earth from the moon's surface, the serenity of a starlit sky, and whimsical interpretations of life that transitions through jellyfish, dolphins, and whales, all against a backdrop of vibrant colors and calming aromas that represent the light and darkness of the cosmos.

Relaxation and Reflection

As viewers navigate the interconnectedness of space and marine life, they are given the opportunity to step away from their everyday lives and engage in a reflective experience. The planetarium encourages guests to enjoy this special evening as a time for personal introspection and relaxation, providing a much-needed escape.

A New Form of Space Travel

The show utilizes innovative visuals of ballooning to create a new kind of space travel experience. Collaborating with Iwatani Giken Co., Ltd, the ascent from ground level to the stratosphere evokes the promise of a future where space tourism is a reality. This voyage paints a picturesque border between the vibrant blue of Earth and the tranquil expanse of the atmosphere—an immersive experience designed to evoke a longing for the cosmos.

Aromatic Experience

What sets this planetarium experience apart are the exclusive aromatherapy elements that accompany the show. Two original fragrances enhance the narrative—the scent of light and the scent of darkness—bringing additional depth to the viewer's immersion in the story of the universe.

• - Sora no Hikari (Light of the Sky): This aroma is inspired by the brilliance and heat of the stars. A blend of cinnamon and clove creates a spicy note, deepened with frankincense and sandalwood. This fragrance captures a passionate and mysterious vibe, symbolizing the radiant energy of the cosmos.

• - Sora no Yami (Darkness of the Sky): This scent is a tribute to the deep calm and serenity of the universe, blending refreshing mint and rosemary with the clear attributes of lotus and lily of the valley. It aims to evoke a feeling of drifting in the stillness of space, providing a soothing experience for the heart and mind.

Music by Daisuke Nishimura

The enchanting auditory experience is crafted by musician Daisuke Nishimura, whose extensive work spans various genres including rock, pop, and film scores. His compositions for this planetarium show enhance the overall ambiance, ensuring a memorable and captivating journey.
