[Follow-up] Sakana-kun to guest at the Tokyo performance of the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra Full Orchestra Tour 2026! A diverse lineup of guests including Hanaregumi, Takao Tajima, and Yoshie Nakano is now complete.

Hanshin Contents Link Co., Ltd. has announced that Sakana-kun will join the Tokyo performance of the [Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra billboard classics Symphonic Tour 2026], scheduled for May 2026, as a guest.

This tour is a premium concert of overwhelming scale that fuses the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, a ska band that Japan is proud to share with the world, with a full orchestra led by one of Japan's leading musicians, Takayuki Hattori (*1).

In addition to the previously announced Hanaregumi, Takao Tajima (Original Love), and Yoshie Nakano (EGO-WRAPPIN'), the one-and-only Sakana-kun will also appear at the Tokyo performance on May 12. Expectations are high for this tour, which offers a "NO BORDER" worldview woven by a total of 70 performers—including the ska band and the full orchestra—alongside guest artists with intense personalities, as well as the opportunity to enjoy different guest combinations at each performance.
