Exciting news for music and planetarium lovers alike! Starting from December 1, 2025, the renowned Konica Minolta Planetarium in Tokyo Skytree Town will host a revival of the much-anticipated musical experience, "Goodnight Planetarium" by Sakanaction. This breathtaking show originally debuted in 2015 at Konica Minolta's Planetarium Manten, quickly capturing the hearts of audiences and generating numerous requests for its return.

A Unique Journey Through Music and Stars

In this extraordinary collaboration, guests will embark on an immersive journey where Sakanaction's enchanting music takes center stage against a backdrop of stunning visual art in the planetarium's dome.
