Yamaha Music Japan Collaborates with "Sound! Euphonium The Final Chapter" (Part 1), Launches Campaign at Music Stores

Yamaha Music Japan Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, "the Company") will collaborate with "Sound! Euphonium The Final Chapter" (Part 1) (to be released on April 26, 2026) by displaying life-sized standees of the protagonist, Kumiko Oumae, and conducting a campaign targeting those starting new instruments. This project will be rolled out at the Company's directly managed stores nationwide and approximately 200 affiliated instrument stores. "Sound! Euphonium" is an animation series based on Ayano Takeda's novel series. It has gained popularity for its story development depicting common brass band experiences and Kyoto Animation's highly realistic and detailed portrayal of instruments and performances. The Company has been collaborating with the series since its TV broadcast began in 2015, holding exhibitions and events. In this project, we will expand the number of participating stores from previous initiatives to convey the charm of "Sound! Euphonium" and the joy of brass band music to even more people. "Sound!
