TV Asahi and Roppongi Hills Summer Festival SUMMER STATION, an annual summer event centred on TV Asahi in Roppongi, will be held from Saturday, July 20 until Sunday, August 25. It promises a whole heap of summer fun, so we’ve picked out some of the highlights, including live performances, content linked to popular programs, gourmet food, and more.
See ATARASHII GAKKO! perform live at the opening ceremony
On the first day of the event – Saturday, July 20 – ATARASHII GAKKO!, who are currently on a world tour, will be presenting a special program at TV Asahi. Following their “Extracurricular Lessons” show that’s been airing on TV Asahi, ATARASHII GAKKO! will deliver one of their typically high-energy performances at the SUMMER STATION LIVE arena. Support comes from splendid guest artists H ZETTRIO, Klang Ruler, and Wednesday Campanella, amongst others, and the show will kick off SUMMER STATION 2024 in style.
After that, “Coca-Cola SUMMER STATION Music LIVE” will be held at the same venue until Sunday, August 18 with popular artists such as ≠ME, SKE48, and OWV appearing on a daily basis.
Visit booths where you can meet popular characters
On the first floor of TV Asahi’s Head Office, you can explore the world of “Crayon Shin-chan: My Dinosaur Diary“. Three games are available: a dinosaur search using XR, two mini-games (a rolling banana game or a flying drone game, you can pick just one), and a giant 2.7-meter-high Shin-chan capsule machine where you can win movie-related goods.
In addition, the rooftop garden on the 7th floor of TV Asahi’s headquarters will transform into the DORAEMON Splash Plaza. During the hot days, we’d recommend you cool off in the plaza, and be greeted by DORAEMON.
Embrace the Japanese summer at Roppongi Fair and the Suntory Draft Beer Summer Festival Beer Garden
On the first floor of the TV Asahi headquarters, the Japanese festival stalls “ENNICHI” will be lined with traditional fair stalls. The fair stalls are decorated with colourful lanterns, and visitors can enjoy unique Japanese fair games such as “Wanage” and “Thousand String Lottery”.
The “Daidan Variety-show Cafeteria” opened at TV Asahi’s company cafeteria, which is also used by performers and announcers. There will be a variety of original festival menus from TV Asahi’s popular variety shows.
The Suntory Draft Beer Summer Festival Beer Garden will also open on the terrace of the company cafeteria and in the Mouri Garden, which will be a delight for beer lovers.
In addition, there will be a collaboration booth linked to popular TV programs such as “Music Station” and “Matsuko & Ariyoshi Temporary Tengoku” at TV Asahi’s headquarters, and performances by junior members of STARTO ENTERTAINMENT at EX THEATER ROPPONGI. There will be plenty of experience-based booths and live programs, such as “Mynavi Corporation SUMMER STATION 2024 SUMMER GO! MIRAI GO! East! West! Get everyone together!”
