The Dome Theater (planetarium) at Fukuoka City Science Museum will screen "SAKANACTION Goodnight Planetarium" again as a special winter program starting December 23, 2026 (Wed). Tickets are sold online only, and all screening dates go on sale at once at 3:00 PM on November 19 (Thu).
Back for Winter After a Sold-Out Summer
"SAKANACTION Goodnight Planetarium" synchronizes SAKANACTION's music, a starry sky, and dome visuals at a high level. Ten or more years after its release, the show has not faded and continues to be loved by many people.
The Dome Theater first screened the show nine years ago. Since then it has held a total of 280 or more screenings, welcoming 40,000 or more visitors. Following last summer, this summer's tickets for all 28 screenings also sold out within just seven days of going on sale. In a survey of summer audiences, every respondent who saw the show answered that they were satisfied (very satisfied or satisfied), based on 203 responses. After the tickets sold out, many people asked for the show to be screened again, which led to this winter's re-screening.
Experience It with the Infinium Σ Projector
The Dome Theater is equipped with the optical projector "Infinium Σ," which creates a realistic and beautiful starry sky. It is the only place in western Japan where the show can be enjoyed with the original staging that uses Infinium Σ. The projector was renewed in March 2026, so stars now appear sharper and the visuals brighter.
The narration is performed by Ichiro Yamaguchi, vocalist of SAKANACTION. Popular songs by the band, including "Music," "Goodbye," and "Eureka," have been arranged in surround sound for the Dome Theater's audio system and fill the entire dome.
SAKANACTION Goodnight Planetarium was created in 2015 through a collaboration between the optical projector Infinium Σ and SAKANACTION, as a commemorative work for the renewal of Konica Minolta Planetarium Manten in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. The only venues where the show can be enjoyed with the original staging using Infinium Σ are Planetarium Manten (Tokyo) and the Fukuoka City Science Museum Dome Theater (Fukuoka).

"Kaiju" (怪獣), released in 2025 as the theme song of the anime "Orb: On the Movements of the Earth" (チ。―地球の運動について―), drew a big response, and the band won eight major categories at MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN 2026. "Yoru no Odoriko" (夜の踊り子), released 14 years ago, has also become an unusual revival hit and has ranked high on music streaming charts.
