Symphonic Anime Comes to North America

In September 2024, SOHO Live had the exciting opportunity to bring Symphonic Anime to North America for the first time, staging three spectacular concerts in Montreal, Toronto, and Boston.

Following widespread success in Asia, 54 Entertainment sought to debut this unique production in the West. They partnered with SOHO Live and Kashamara Productions to bring the experience to life across three North American cities. Together, we secured iconic venues such as Boston’s Symphony Hall, arranged for three full 100-piece orchestras and choirs, and launched marketing campaigns tailored to connect with each city’s anime community.

Under the skilled direction of conductor Thanapol Setabrahmana, the vocals of the remarkable Nat Sathida, and three of the original amime composers in attendance from Japan, Symphonic Anime delivered three unforgettable performances blending the rich soundscapes of beloved Japanese anime themes with the expressive interpretation of North American orchestras. Each night was met with critical acclaim from enthusiastic audiences, creating a memorable celebration of anime music across borders.

Stardew Valley: Festival Of Seasons Tour Finale in Tokyo

After an incredible journey spanning 63 shows across 13 countries, SOHO Live’s first original tour concluded in our hometown of Tokyo with a spectacular finale at the beautiful Kioi Hall.

The Japanese Stardew Valley community was treated to an unforgettable performance, conducted by the tour’s original arranger Thanapol Setabrahmana, and brought to life by the talented musicians of the Fegfis Ensemble. Each piece celebrated the charm and warmth of Stardew Valley’s iconic soundtrack, creating a deeply emotional experience for fans.

To cap off this perfect ending to the first-ever Stardew Valley music tour, game creator and composer Eric Barone traveled from Seattle to attend the concert. Barone surprised concertgoers with a heartfelt onstage speech, and then delighted fans with an impromptu post-show meet-and-greet, making the Tokyo finale a truly memorable close to an extraordinary tour.
