A Night to Remember: 'ZIPANGU the Party!!'

On August 22, 2025, Shochiku Co., Ltd. and TST Entertainment Co., Ltd. hosted the innovative music event, 'ZIPANGU the Party!!' at the renowned nightclub ZEROTOKYO in Shinjuku's Kabukicho, showcasing a dazzling mix of traditional Japanese music and the latest dance beats.

Bridging Traditions and Modern Sounds

This extraordinary event brought together various genres, ranging from Gagaku and Kagura Bayashi—Japanese traditional music—to contemporary pop and electronic dance music, creating a unique cultural experience that transcended time and traditions.

The highlight of the night was the special stage performance of 'Sakuragami,' where Kobayashi Sachiko, a beloved figure in Japanese entertainment, captivated the audience with live renditions of her classic hit 'Senbonzakura' (Thousand Cherry Blossoms) and the new song 'Sakuragami.' As fans immersed themselves in this vibrant atmosphere, the fusion of her powerful voice and the traditional sound of Kagura created an electrifying moment that resonated deeply with everyone present.

An Enchanting Atmosphere

The 'Sakuragami' stage was a spectacle to behold, showcasing upgraded visual performances that left both first-timers and returning attendees in awe. Honma Hiyori, who previously combined classical ballet with contemporary dance, donned a traditional Kagura costume this time, performing in a manner that invoked a sacred ambiance with every chime of her bells.

As Kobayashi's powerful rendition of 'Senbonzakura' filled the room, the energy soared to new heights. The unique arrangement, blending her iconic voice with the Kagura ensemble, drew thunderous applause, elevating the night into a legendary experience.

In a marvelous blend, traditional Japanese instruments entwined with cutting-edge electronic dance music, transforming ZEROTOKYO into a sacred yet ecstatic space. The audience danced, cheered, and felt their hearts stir in the unparalleled soundscape that could only be found at 'ZIPANGU the Party!!'. The event concluded with an electrifying performance of 'Sakuragami,' a track created exclusively for this occasion, marking a truly unforgettable moment.

D-YAMA, known for leading the MOGRA club scene, and Kobayashi, a cornerstone of internet culture events, brought the house down with a setlist that blended nostalgic classics with unique surprises, creating a one-of-a-kind 'Sachiko World' experience.
