Overview

Masaaki Sakai to MAGNETS is the sensational new musical project fronted by the legendary Japanese entertainer Masaaki Sakai. Formed in 2024, the band represents a “dream team” of Japanese rock and roll royalty, featuring Mickey Yoshino from the iconic band Godiego, the multi-talented drummer and actress Shishido Kavka, bassist Hama Okamoto of OKAMOTO’S, and guitarist Ryuji Sawa. This tour is particularly significant as Sakai, widely beloved for his role as “Monkey” in the classic TV series, has described this ensemble as “the last band of his life,” bringing a profound sense of passion and heritage to every performance.

The 2026 tour promises an electrifying blend of nostalgic hits and fresh rock energy. Fans can expect high-octane performances of classics like “Monkey Magic” and “Gandhara,” alongside sophisticated new arrangements that showcase the collective mastery of the MAGNETS members. Spanning major venues from Tokyo International Forum to Shin Kabuki-za, this concert series offers international fans a rare chance to see a living icon of Japanese pop culture collaborate with modern virtuosos in a celebration of timeless rock music.
