Comment from Katsuhisa Arai (Executive Producer, BMG ASIA / Representative Director, Trickster Entertainment)
We have been performing at Theater Milano-Za since 2024, hoping that Shinjuku will continue to develop as a city of entertainment that the world is proud of. Shinjuku has the charm where many people from inside and outside Japan gather, and diverse cultures and values intersect. We hope that Blue Man Group will help further enhance that appeal, serving as a reason for people to visit Shinjuku and a way to create unforgettable summer memories. Also, by returning to this city every summer, we hope to contribute to making Shinjuku lively and spreading its culture. We will continue to take on challenges so that Blue Man Group will be loved by many as a 'Shinjuku summer tradition' and become one of the reasons to visit this city.
