Hallway Music: A New Acoustic Experience in Azabudai Hills

On October 31, 2025, Azabudai Hills, operated by Mori Building Company, will introduce a novel musical event known as 'Hallway Music', set against the vibrant backdrop of a corridor. This unique event marks its inaugural launch and is designed to take place regularly on the last Friday of each month in the future.

Traditionally seen as a dynamic space connecting various areas, corridors have served as the intersection for social interactions and communication. 'Hallway Music' seeks to harness this concept, offering attendees a fresh musical experience, where they can unwind with acoustic melodies while enjoying beverages and light snacks, all within their daily routines.

Taking place in the B1 area of Garden Plaza A, the venue is within an art and gallery zone that houses spaces like 'Gallery & Restaurant Behind the Scenes' and 'Shueisha Manga Art Heritage'. Attendees can look forward to two stages set up in this vibrant artistic environment.

The event features an exciting line-up, including an acoustic live performance by renowned artist Shuta Hasunuma, known for his extensive work in music production across film, television, theater, dance, and more. Additionally, talented musician Hidefumi Ino, who has gained international recognition with his distinct sound featuring the Fender Rhodes piano, will also grace the stage. Together, they will provide a rich cultural experience that transcends traditional musical boundaries.

Besides the live performances, guests can explore a selection of food and beverages available from nearby eateries, such as 'Gallery & Restaurant Behind the Scenes' and 'Azabudai Hills Gallery Café', all while indulging in delightful tunes. The event aims to pair the soothing ambiance of music with the delectable offerings of Azabudai Hills.
