Popular artists are also scheduled to perform! Symphony Concert Performers Take the Stage

On December 14 (Sat.) and 15 (Sun.), 2019, TSUBURAYA CONVENTION 2019, the largest Tsuburaya Productions festival in history, will be held at Tokyo Dome City. Among the events will be "ULTRAMAN MUSIC LIVE - The Symphony" (December 15, 2019), a full orchestra performance of Ultraman music by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra.

At this briefing, it was announced that "Symphony Ultraman Cosmo" composed by Toru Fuyuki will be performed for the first time in the first part of the concert, with a newly written narration by screenwriter Shozo Uehara. In addition, the narration will be provided by Koji Ishizaka, the narrator of "Ultra Q" and "Ultraman.

The concert will also serve as the closing ceremony for TSUBURAYA CONVENTION 2019, where Susumu Kurobe, who played Hayata in "Ultraman" (1966), and Hiroko Sakurai, who played Akiko Fuji. Mariya Yamada played Mai Midorikawa, and Takeshi Tsuruno played Shin Asuka and Mai Midorikawa in "Ultraman Dyna" (1997). It was also announced that Yuki Inoue, who plays the role of Hiroyuki Kudo in "Ultraman Taiga" currently being broadcast, and Ayuri Yoshinaga, who plays the role of Pirika Asahikawa, will take the stage.

In the second part of the concert, various artists will also make guest appearances and sing the theme song. Ryota Fujimaki, Ranshi Moritomo (T-BOLAN), DEEP SQUAD, and Maana will appear (May J. will not participate due to personal reasons). They expressed their enthusiasm for the concert.

Mr. Fujimaki said, "When I was a child, I think I learned justice, courage, and the feeling of not giving up sensitively by watching Ultraman fighting monsters. However, as I grow older, I feel that my sense of justice is wavering. We often fight for ourselves or for our organizations, and I think that one of the norms at such times is that "Ultraman" is fighting, which has moral significance for children. By singing together, I would like to send out such a message as well.

Moritomo added, "The first hero in (my) life was my father. Everyone can be a hero. I want to become an adult who can tell children what it means to be a hero.

Maana, who was not exposed to the "Ultraman" series in real time due to her generation, has been studying the series' titles in preparation for her appearance in this year's film! Belial Galactic Empire," he shared an episode in which he was surprised to learn that actor Tomo Koyanagi, who starred in the film, was a high school classmate of his. The unexpected connection between the performers was also revealed.

Finally, Ultraman, Ultraman Dyna, and Ultraman Taiga took the stage for a commemorative photo! They all struck special move poses and pledged to make the concert a success.
