What this is
MELLOW DEAR US 1st JAPAN Tour Final 'NICE to meet YOU !!' is the grand finale of the first-ever Japan tour by the voice actor unit MELLOW DEAR US, held over two days at Yokohama BUNTAI on July 11–12, 2026. The group features voice actors Ryota Iwasaki, Fumiya Imai, Fumihito Tsuji, and Sonosuke Hattori, who are known for their work in anime and related media. As a tour final, this event represents the culmination of the group's inaugural nationwide run, making it a milestone moment for fans. For those unable to attend in person, simultaneous live viewings are being held at movie theaters across Japan, broadening access to the event.
Who should go
This event is ideal for fans of Japanese voice actors, anime music, and the seiyuu (voice actor) entertainment scene. The atmosphere will be enthusiastic and fan-driven, with a dedicated audience that follows the performers' careers closely. Attendees can expect a concert-style live performance in a large arena setting with reserved seating. If you are new to the seiyuu fan culture, this is a great introduction to a uniquely Japanese entertainment format. Book tickets early via the official lottery system, as demand from dedicated fan communities tends to be high.
Good to know
Tickets are sold via a pre-request lottery system through the official event website — foreign visitors should note that Japanese ticketing lotteries typically require a Japanese phone number or domestic account, so enlisting a local contact or using a ticket proxy service may be necessary. Yokohama BUNTAI is a large multi-purpose arena in Shin-Yokohama with a capacity of around 10,000, offering reserved seating for this event. The venue has bag check facilities and generally accepts IC cards and credit cards at concessions, though cash is advisable as a backup. Merchandise lines at seiyuu events open well before doors, so arriving 1.5–2 hours early is strongly recommended to avoid missing limited items. Live viewing at cinema locations across Japan is a convenient alternative for fans outside Yokohama and requires separate ticket purchase at participating theaters.
