What this is
A two-day anime song concert bringing together some of Japan's most recognised anisong artists and voice actors to one of Kyoto's premier performance halls. Spread across Saturday and Sunday in December 2026, each day features a different lineup — Day 1 includes Eir Aoi, ASCA, Konomi Suzuki, and Minori Chihara among others, while Day 2 leans into voice actor performances including characters from 'Princession Orchestra' and 'Jirai Nan Desu ka? Chihara-san'. Ayasa Ito serves as MC for both days, bridging the performer and fan worlds.
Who should go
Anime music fans and followers of the anisong scene will get the most out of this. Familiarity with the individual artists or their associated anime series will significantly enhance the experience — casual attendees may find the lineup less accessible.
Good to know
Advance tickets are sold through Japanese ticketing platforms such as eplus.jp and pia.jp; both accept foreign credit cards but require a Japanese address for delivery, so convenience store pickup (combini) at Lawson or FamilyMart is the most practical option for visitors. ROHM Theatre Kyoto's Main Hall seats approximately 2,005 people — it is a fully seated, concert-hall-style venue with good sightlines from most positions. The venue does not typically allow photography or video recording during performances, which is standard for anisong events in Japan. Cash is recommended for merchandise purchases at the venue; merchandise queues at anisong events can be long, so arriving well before doors open is advisable if you want to buy goods. The venue is located in the Okazaki cultural district near Heian Shrine, making it easy to combine with sightseeing earlier in the day.
