What this is
Recorded at a live concert and screened in cinemas across Japan, this is a delayed theatrical broadcast of folk legend Takuro Yoshida's special live show 'Haru Datta Ne 2026', supported by streaming platform U-NEXT. Yoshida is one of Japan's most beloved singer-songwriters, active since the early 1970s, and these cinema screenings let fans experience the concert atmosphere on the big screen long after the original performance. It's a straightforward cinema event — no live element — but a rare chance to see a veteran artist's work in a theatrical setting.
Who should go
Dedicated fans of Takuro Yoshida or Japanese folk music from the 1970s era. This is a niche screening with a likely older Japanese audience; casual visitors or those unfamiliar with his catalogue will find little to latch onto.
Good to know
Tickets are likely available via the Sapporo Cinema Frontier website or at the box office — foreign credit cards are generally accepted at major multiplex cinemas in Japan. Sapporo Cinema Frontier is a standard multiplex with assigned seating and good accessibility. The screening duration will mirror the original concert length, so check the theater's listed runtime before attending. Concessions (popcorn, drinks) are available as at any cinema. U-NEXT subscribers may want to check whether an online streaming option becomes available after the theatrical run ends.
