Experience the Enchantment of 101 Years of Showa Music in a Grand Symphony Concert

Celebrate the Showa Era with the 101th Symphonic Kayo Festival!

The enchanting music festival, Showa 101th Symphonic Kayo Festival, is set to take place on May 30, 2026, at the Ota Citizens’ Hall. This exciting event is being produced by Sion Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Creek & River Company, in collaboration with Office Walker. Following the success of last year's Showa 100th Symphonic Kayo Festival, which received rave reviews for its unique blend of Showa-era hits and engaging discussions, this year promises to deliver even more captivating experiences.

The festival features a distinctive stage set at a “phantom music bar”, which opens only once a year for a magical nighttime show. This year's master of ceremonies is Seiya from the comedy duo Shimofuri Mineyuri. He will be joined by a line-up of renowned artists who passionately pay tribute to the beloved tunes of the Showa era, drawing audiences into the charm and nostalgia of this iconic period in Japanese music history.

One of the most anticipated aspects of the festival is that all performances will be arranged for a full orchestra. The classic songs that defined the Showa era will come alive with rich, magnificent sounds, seamlessly blending nostalgia with a contemporary twist. Prepare for a night filled with special emotions and a unique orchestral sound that only this event can deliver.

Guest Performers: This year, get ready to enjoy performances by celebrated artists including Shigeru Matsuzaki, Mieko Nishiyama, and members of AKB48 (Akiyama Yuuna, Arai Ayane, Yamauchi Mizuki). They will take to the stage to deliver unforgettable renditions of Pink Lady’s legendary hits, alongside enchanting orchestral arrangements. Furthermore, Seiya will also showcase his vocal talent by performing “Okasan no LINE”, creating an extraordinary night filled with laughter and song.
