What this is
The Maebashi Witches 2nd Anniversary Live is a special two-day live concert event celebrating the second anniversary of the anime/media project 'Maebashi Witches.' The event is held in Maebashi, Gunma Prefecture — the actual real-world setting depicted in the work — giving it a meaningful connection to the source material. Three performances are scheduled across the weekend: one evening show on Day 1 and two performances (daytime and evening) on Day 2. The voice cast performs live as their characters, including Sakura Kasuga, Hinano Sakikawa, Rena Motomura, Haruka Minami, and Honami Momose, making this a seiyuu live event with strong fan community appeal.
Who should go
This event is ideal for dedicated fans of the Maebashi Witches franchise who want to experience the voice cast performing live in the very city that inspired the story. Anime enthusiasts who enjoy seiyuu live events and idol-adjacent performances will find the atmosphere warm, enthusiastic, and community-driven. The small hall setting means an intimate experience compared to large arena anime events, so fans can expect close proximity to the performers. Book tickets well in advance through the lottery system — walk-up tickets are extremely unlikely to be available.
Good to know
Tickets are sold exclusively through a lottery system — there is no general on-sale; fans must apply during the designated lottery windows via the official site or affiliated ticketing platforms. Foreign credit cards may not be accepted on Japanese lottery ticketing systems, so having a Japanese payment method or asking a local contact to assist is advisable. The Small Hall at Maebashi Civic Cultural Hall is a compact, fully seated venue, making it an intimate setting well-suited to this type of anniversary live. Merchandise lines at anime seiyuu events typically open before doors, so arriving 60–90 minutes early is strongly recommended if you want to purchase goods. A bonus video stream is planned for a later date for those who cannot attend in person.
