Konica Minolta Planetaria TOKYO (DOME1) in Yurakucho will host the limited-run event "Starry Sky Jazz Lounge -spring collection-" starting February 6, 2026.
Following the overwhelming response to "Starry Sky Jazz Lounge -winter collection-"—which sold out all reserved seats and filled standing areas nightly—this special event offers visitors an experiential lounge where they can enjoy authentic live jazz performed by piano, saxophone, and contrabass under a dome filled with stars and 360° immersive imagery. Guests can relax with a drink in hand, gaze at the starry sky, and immerse themselves in music and visuals for a "slightly special Friday night."
Starry Skies and Imagery Create a Special Atmosphere
360° visuals filling the dome shift expressions in harmony with the music. During performances, the full starry sky and moonlight gently twinkle, with themed imagery projected according to the season: "Valentine's Day" in February, "Cherry Blossoms" in March and April, and "Early Summer" in May. Experience a non-ordinary immersive environment as if you're in a special "lounge" that opened in space. Don't miss the mini starry sky narration time, newly added to this event.
*Performance content will be partially updated to match each season.
Live Performance by Three Musicians from Watanabe Hiroshi STRINGS
Professional musicians currently performing in the popular "Planetarium Concert" at Konica Minolta Planetaria TOKYO will deliver live jazz performances beneath the stars. The piano, saxophone, and contrabass ensemble—a configuration that allows the five senses to be sharpened in the planetarium environment—will perform songs tailored to each month's theme, along with familiar classics like "When You Wish Upon a Star" and "Moonlight Serenade," arranged with warm sound. Enjoy approximately 40 minutes of sessions ranging from ballads that blend into the dome space to swing numbers that lift the spirit.
Free-Flowing Style: Food, Drinks, and Photography Welcome
"Cafe planetaria," adjacent to the dome, offers original drinks and food. Before and after the performances, enjoy a leisurely time with a drink in hand. Lean back in your seat to gaze at the stars, or chat quietly with friends. Entry and exit are unrestricted, and photography is partially permitted. Enjoy this "adult lounge time" immersed in music and visuals in your own relaxed style.
