What this is
Marasy — one of Japan's most celebrated Touhou Project piano arrangers — brings his 'Gensou Yuugi' concert series to three cities across Japan in November 2026, performing piano arrangements of music from the beloved Touhou Project game series in full concert-hall settings. Four performances are scheduled across Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall, Menicon Theater Aoi in Aichi (two nights), and ROHM Theatre Kyoto South Hall. The concert-hall format elevates Touhou's iconic compositions into a classical recital experience, making it a genuinely distinctive crossover between gaming culture and live classical performance.
Who should go
Touhou Project fans and followers of marasy's YouTube and NicoNico piano work will find this unmissable. Anime and gaming music enthusiasts who enjoy orchestral or piano arrangements in a proper concert-hall atmosphere will also get a lot from this.
Good to know
Tickets are sold exclusively via eplus.jp lottery — foreign credit cards are generally accepted on eplus, but you will need to register an account and apply during the open lottery window. Convenience store pickup (Lawson combini) is the most reliable collection method for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall is a prestigious 1,632-seat venue known for excellent acoustics and a formal seated layout — no standing areas. ROHM Theatre Kyoto South Hall is a mid-sized seated hall seating around 716. Both venues typically enforce quiet-entry policies, so arriving before doors open is strongly advised. Photography and video recording are almost certainly prohibited during the performance, as is standard for marasy's concert events.
