What this is
Anison 3 Live 2026 is a live anime song concert featuring three legendary voices of the anime music world: Hironobu Kageyama, Masaaki Endoh, and Hiroshi Kitadani. Kageyama is best known for the Dragon Ball Z theme 'CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA', Endoh for his work on Getter Robo and various super robot anime, and Kitadani for the One Piece opening 'We Are!'. Together under the 'Anison 3' banner, they perform iconic anime theme songs that have defined generations of fans. The concert takes place at Lovely Hall in Kawachinagano, Osaka, organized jointly by M's Produce and the Kawachinagano City Cultural Promotion Foundation. This is an intimate, reserved-seating event that offers fans a rare chance to see three titans of anime music sharing one stage.
Who should go
This concert is a dream event for anime fans of the 1990s and 2000s who grew up with Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, and super robot series. It will appeal strongly to anyone with a deep love of anison — the genre of music written specifically for anime openings and endings. The atmosphere is likely warm and celebratory, with an audience that knows every lyric and sings along with passion. International anime fans visiting Japan will find this a genuinely special and affordable live experience. Arrive by 14:00 to allow time to find your seat and browse any merchandise tables that may be set up in the lobby.
Good to know
Tickets are available at ¥3,600 general or ¥3,300 for L Members — check eplus.jp or the Lovely Hall box office for purchasing options, as convenience store pickup via Lawson or FamilyMart is typically the most practical method for visitors without a Japanese address. Lovely Hall is a mid-sized civic cultural hall in Kawachinagano City; the main hall is a seated, reserved venue with a relatively intimate atmosphere suited to this kind of fan-focused concert. Bring cash for any merchandise sold at the venue, as smaller regional halls often do not accept cards at goods tables. Doors open at 14:30 with the show starting at 15:00 — arriving around 14:00 gives you time to collect tickets, find your seat, and check out the lobby. Note that children under 6 are not permitted entry.
