A New Era of Night Entertainment in Tokyo

On July 26, 2025, AGEHARIDe, a creative team fueled by industry professionals in Japan, will unveil an innovative night entertainment experience named 'LIGHTDANCe®'. Collaborating with the general incorporated association of Takashiba Area Management, this project will feature a mesmerizing drone show set against the stunning backdrop of Tokyo Bay, aiming to redefine the concept of night entertainment.

Located at the Waters Takashiba Plaza, the 'LIGHTDANCe®' show represents a unique fusion of J-POP music and cutting-edge technology. The performances will include 300 synchronized drones projecting light patterns that resonate with the melodies and lyrical worlds of featured songs. It promises to offer an immersive experience that stimulates the senses and encourages audiences to find joy in discovery, all while framing the night sky as an artistic canvas.

The event will kick off with a lavish launch featuring key figures from the Japanese music industry at the modern luxury hotel, Mezum Tokyo, part of the Autograph Collection. Notable speakers include renowned music producer Tetsuya Komuro and composer and arranger ArmySlick, along with AGEHARIDe’s representative, Ken Kato. Together, they will discuss the intersection of J-POP and state-of-the-art technology in live entertainment. The session will be expertly guided by MC Ken Aigai.

In addition to the engaging discussions, attendees will witness the splendid culmination of the event—a spectacular 'LIGHTDANCe®' performance choreographed to AAA’s hit song 'Charge & Go!'. Set against iconic Tokyo landmarks such as the Tokyo Skytree and Hamarikyu Garden, this fusion of history and futuristic art promises to create an unforgettable spectacle for both locals and international guests alike.

Ken Kato, the CEO of AGEHARIDe, shared: “'LIGHTDANCe®' is a new form of drone entertainment created from Japan’s unique sensibility and aesthetic. We aspire to visualize the power of music's poetry and melody through a dance of light, aiming for a heartfelt co-creation between creators and audiences.”

Looking ahead, AGEHARIDe intends to develop customized message plans tailored to commemorate special occasions, critical life events, and corporate branding, collaborating seamlessly with hotel stays, restaurants, weddings, and promotional activities.

As the project unfolds, it underscores an exciting direction for Japan, where sky, land, light, and music converge to create a next-generation live performance experience. The goal is to export this new Tokyo-born entertainment culture to the world.
