Kenshi Yonezu 2023 Tour/Fantasy Concert Film Comes to US Theatres
The Kenshi Yonezu 2023 Tour/Fantasy concert film gets a US theatrical screening later this month in Los Angeles and NYC. Here's what you need to know about getting tickets...
Crunchyroll released a first-look official trailer and announced ticket sales today for the upcoming electrifying concert film, Kenshi Yonezu 2023 Tour / Fantasy, featuring globally renowned J-pop sensation Kenshi Yonezu. After gaining success with Vocaloid music under the stage name Hachi, Yonezu began producing under his real name in 2012. In addition to music, he has attracted attention for his album cover illustrations and video productions. The video for his hit single "Lemon," the long-running theme song for the TV series Unnatural, is the most-viewed music video in Japan and topped Billboard Japan's year-end charts for two consecutive years, leaving a mark on music history both in Japan and abroad.
The trailer is the first official footage from Yonezu's spectacular concert performance, held at the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan, on July 2, 2023. The film features many of his chart-topping hits, including a performance of "Chikyugi – Spinning Globe," the theme song from the Academy Award© winning film The Boy and the Heron, and "KICK BACK," the opening theme song for fan-favorite TV anime Chainsaw Man.
