What this is
Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go!! — the beloved 1990s mini 4WD racing anime that had a generation of Japanese kids obsessed with Tamiya cars — is marking its 30th anniversary with a special live event. Two performances (daytime and evening) will be held, featuring a reunion of original cast members including Yuriko Fuchizaki, Haruna Ikezawa, Chie Kōjiro, Rei Takano, Kumiko Watanabe, and Shoutarou Morikubo. Full event details are still to be announced.
Who should go
Squarely aimed at adults in their 30s and 40s who grew up watching the show in the late 1990s. Younger anime fans unfamiliar with the series will find little to latch onto without that nostalgia.
Good to know
Tickets have not yet gone on sale and further event details are still to be announced — check the official website for updates. Ticket sales for anime events of this type typically go through eplus.jp or pia.jp, both of which accept foreign credit cards; convenience store pickup at Lawson is the most reliable option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. The Makuhari International Training Center Symposium Hall is a mid-sized conference-style venue, so seating is likely assigned rather than standing. Makuhari is in Chiba Prefecture — allow around 30–40 minutes from central Tokyo via the JR Keiyo Line to Kaihin-Makuhari Station. With two shows on the same day, confirm which performance your ticket is for before travelling.
