The Zipang Show takes place at Shinjuku MARZ on December 19, 2025, bringing Japanese taiko drumming together with dance, anime-influenced vocals and DJ performances in a live house setting in Kabukicho.

The program unfolds in a sequence of short performance segments. Taiko performance and taiko experience form the core of the event, followed by anime song–style vocal performances, otagei dance, traditional dance, and DJ time. Each element appears in turn, creating a steady shift between traditional and contemporary performance styles.

Rather than separating the stage and audience, the show is presented inside a compact basement venue, allowing guests to experience the performances at close range. The event also includes photo opportunities intended for social media, reflecting how live performance and visual culture intersect in Tokyo today.

Shinjuku MARZ is a well-known live house in Kabukicho and The Zipang Show offers a single-evening snapshot of Japanese performance culture as it exists now, moving between taiko, pop vocals, dance and DJ sets without breaks in atmosphere.

For those searching for a unique show in Tokyo or a Japanese performance event in Shinjuku, The Zipang Show presents multiple styles in one continuous program.
