◾️ Performance Ambassador Jun Tamura's Comment

I am Jun Tamura, and I have been appointed as the ambassador for 'Back to the Future in Concert.'

Last year, I had my first experience watching this beloved film with a live orchestra.

When the very first note of the universally known theme song was played by the full orchestra, the feeling of being completely captivated was truly immense. My heart was instantly seized.

'Back to the Future' itself is an incredibly compelling film, and when you add a full orchestra, the synergistic effect is extraordinary. I truly want everyone to experience that supreme sensation of the music permeating their very cells.

The orchestra performs not only the film's background music but also the subtle nuances of sound effects live. While being amazed by their superb technique, you will also be reminded of the true brilliance of the film 'Back to the Future.'

I especially want fans who have already seen the movie many times to experience this full orchestral version at least once. And for those who haven't seen it yet, I think it's incredibly luxurious and wonderful to have your first experience be with this full orchestral version.

In any case, this is a work that will make your body rejoice at a cellular level, so please come and experience the live emotion at the venue.

We look forward to seeing you there!
