Azabudai Hills Opening Movie 2023｜The Lighting Ceremony (2023)

Azabudai Hills is a development meant to serve as a huge open space filled with lush greenery that brings people together to build a new community. 
To celebrate its opening and convey our vision for Azabudai Hills to the entire world,  
a show was held that uses the vast complex as a stage. This is a video of that show. 

An assembly of talent from within and outside Japan, it featured artists such as composer and arranger Miho Hazama, choreographer Shingo Okamoto, choreography supervisor MIKIKO, and video director Yuichi Kodama. 
The orchestra comprised a total of 59 artists of varying nationalities and ages, including alto sax player Patrick Bartley Jr., pianist Ayatake Ezaki, drummer Fumihiro Ibuki, and the Suginami Junior Chorus. 
A performance by a diverse cast of 52 elite dancers covering a wide range of ages and genres was also held, including 8-year-old cocomi and 10-year-old LunA. 

Watch this special event held at Azabudai Hills that was born from the coming together of so many diverse people.
