Yoshinori Masakado Returns as Official Ambassador for Immersive Museum OSAKA 2025! 💙

Back by popular demand—and with even deeper passion—Masakado Yoshinori has been appointed the official ambassador for Immersive Museum OSAKA 2025. This year, the exhibition takes an even bolder step beyond borders, blending culture and creativity into a spectacular visual feast.

In his heartfelt comment, Masakado expresses just how honored he is to continue this journey:

“I’m truly happy to be involved again this year as an ambassador for Immersive Museum OSAKA.

Just as the title suggests, this year’s theme crosses borders and cultures. These are works that many of you have likely seen before—but here, you can go beyond the surface.

Discover the historical backdrops that shaped them, and what influenced the artists themselves.

I hope everyone can experience the powerful collaboration of these paintings in a way that can only be felt here—with your whole body.”

Following the coverage from Dumpling Box last year—which was more than just a visual spectacle—it was an invitation to pause, to breathe, and to be fully present—the 2025 edition pushes even further.

At the heart of that experience? Masakado’s gentle, enchanting voice guiding guests through the vast corridors of art history. His commentary didn’t just explain—it evoked. And here’s to looking forward to that unique experience again this year.

In an age where attention is fleeting and everything demands instant engagement, this exhibition invites you to slow down. It’s a space where timeless masterpieces meet modern storytelling—bridging generations, cultures, and emotions.

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning for another round, Immersive Museum OSAKA 2025 promises to be a moment of pause in a busy world—and a breathtaking one at that.

STOMP Hits Japan This Summer—with Seiya and Richard as Special Supporters! ❤️💛

Rhythm, comedy, chaos—and absolute genius. That’s what the legendary STOMP brings to every stage it sets foot on. And this summer, as it takes over Tokyo and Osaka, it does so with two new allies: Seiya Suezawa and Keita Richard Kusama, who have been named special supporters for the tour.

First performed in the UK in 1991, STOMP went on to enjoy a remarkable 29-year run Off-Broadway in New York and has attracted over 15 million audience members in 53 countries worldwide. In this globally celebrated show, performers—known as “Stompers”—use everyday objects like buckets, brooms, trash can lids, matchboxes, tire tubes, and newspapers to create explosive rhythms from the sounds of daily life, producing high-energy, exhilarating music.

The Stompers shift seamlessly between solo and ensemble performances, using rhythm, sound, movement, and expression to communicate—all without a single word. Their act is packed with witty, wordless comedy, blending dance, tap, percussion, theater, and humor into a 100-minute, non-stop sensory performance that has to be seen (and heard) to be believed.

🗣️ From the members themselves:

Hello, this is Seiya Suezawa from Ae! group.
I’m honored to have been appointed as a special supporter for STOMP!

STOMP is a form of entertainment that creates rhythm and sound using the body and everyday objects around us.
It’s something you can enjoy with your eyes, your ears—and your heart.

As fellow entertainers, we’re truly inspired by their performance, and I’ll do my best to help convey the charm and appeal of STOMP to as many people as possible!

Please, make sure to experience this high-impact, unforgettable performance live at least once!

Hello, this is Keita Richard Kusama from Ae! group.
I’m honored to have been appointed as a special supporter for STOMP!

This summer, STOMP is coming back to Japan once again!

STOMP is the ultimate entertainment that completely redefines what it means to be a musical instrument—in the best way possible.

It uses the everyday “sounds” of life to create something both delicate and grand, and I hope to help more people discover just how amazing it is.

Let’s experience this explosive energy of sound and movement together!

The two of them—renowned for their explosive stage presence and unmatched rhythm and dance—are a perfect match for STOMP’s bold, body-driven beat.

With Seiya’s background in tap dancing—often showcased in live performances—and Richard’s powerful sense of rhythm and impressive dance skills unique to him, both members are a perfect fit for a show where rhythm and movement are the beating heart.

Let’s stay seated to see what this special support actually means 👀

It’s indeed going to be 100 minutes of pure adrenaline—no dialogue, no pause, just rhythm.

📍 Performance Dates
🎭 Tokyo: Aug 20–31 @ Tokyo International Forum Hall C
🎭 Osaka: Sept 6–7 @ ORIX Theater
