Bandai Namco Experience Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Hiroshi Kawasaki) will hold 'We are POLARIS,' an evolved live concert featuring CG characters based on its original IP (*1) 'Polaporipospo,' on Tuesday, November 3, 2026 (a national holiday), at SGC Hall Ariake. This live performance, where characters play musical instruments live, is realized through the integration of the latest technologies, including Bandai Namco Experience's proprietary 'Zero-Edit Motion Capture' technology. It represents an innovative first (*2) for CG character live performances in Japan. On the day of the live, a giant LED monitor covering the entire stage from ceiling to floor will be installed, with a motion capture area prepared behind it. In this area, professional musicians will perform live, receiving energy from the audience. By capturing their performance in real-time via motion capture, the characters on stage will appear vibrant and shining. *1 IP: Intellectual property. Here, it refers to anime, games, movies, idols, etc. *2 As of 2025. Targeting CG character live performances in Japan. According to a Bandai Namco Experience survey. ① Perfect Synchronization of 'Sound' and 'Movement' through the Integration of Polaporipospo's Unique Technologies In conventional CG and anime expressions, performance scenes are often simplified or abstracted due to production difficulty and cost, leading to a mismatch between sound and movement. With Polaporipospo's strength, 'Zero-Edit Motion Capture,' and other proprietary technologies, even unconscious movements that are difficult to verbalize, such as the fingertips pressing strings, the trajectory of drumsticks, and the rhythm and groove expressed by the musician's entire body, are captured with high precision and reflected in real-time onto the CG characters. Furthermore, detailed instrument behaviors such as cymbal vibrations, bass drum oscillations, guitar string reactions, and keyboard key depressions can be reproduced. This achieves an unprecedented level of ultimate reality, where the powerful live music and the characters appearing before the audience are perfectly matched. The synchronization of hearing and sight enhances the value of the live experience for the audience. ② Total Immersion in Music Throughout the Venue 'SGC Hall Ariake' is Japan's first permanent immersive music hall, equipped with state-of-the-art audio and visual systems. The environment is constructed across the entire space, including a giant LED monitor covering the stage, overhead audience effects, and synchronized lighting, delivering an experience where the audience can immerse themselves in the music. This is a new, evolved live content experience that enhances immersion in a music live concert by achieving a perfect match between the performance seen with the eyes and the music heard with the ears. It realizes the 'ultimate performance reality,' where the character themselves actually play an instrument in real-time, something previously considered impossible. As the necessity and importance of live experiences increase in the music market, this offers a new option for live content in the coming era.
