Event Details

Opening Stage by SIS

The event will kick off with a special dance performance by SIS, a pair of real-life sisters from the Kansai region who were involved in the choreography for both the opening and closing ceremonies of the Osaka-Kansai Expo and also performed in them, bringing the event to a fever pitch right from the start.

Special Performance by the New School Leaders

Featuring a spectacular performance by New School Leaders—who made headlines at the opening ceremony of the Osaka-Kansai Expo—we’ll present a special mini-concert that will rekindle the excitement of that time.

A Special Performance by Universal Studios Japan

We’re bringing you a one-day-only special performance by the park’s cast members and entertainers.

The Finale Performance by Kobukuro

Kobukuro—who were appointed ambassadors for the 2025 Japan International Exposition and composed the official theme song for the Osaka-Kansai Expo—will perform a special mini-concert. They will bring back the sense of wonder and excitement from that time and bring the event to a grand finale.
