Background & History

The Akimitsu Homma 60th Anniversary Concert “RESONANCE” is a two-day celebration of the renowned Japanese music producer, composer, and arranger Akimitsu Homma’s 60th birthday, taking place on September 26–27, 2025, at Tokyo Garden Theater in Tokyo’s Ariake district. Homma, born in 1964 in Osaka, has shaped the J-POP landscape through his work with artists like Ikimonogakari (Thank You), Porno Graffiti (Apollo, Saudade), and Noriyuki Makihara (No Love Anymore). Trained under mentor Masataka Matsutoya at MICA Music Laboratory, Homma’s career spans decades, including founding FORCE RECORDINGS in 2023 and serving as a Miyakojima ambassador in 2025. Directed by Matsutoya, this concert features a star-studded lineup, including Ikimonogakari, Masayuki Suzuki, Porno Graffiti, Noriyuki Makihara, and special guests like Kazuya Kamenashi and Kaela Kimura. Held at the 8,000-capacity Tokyo Garden Theater, the event celebrates Homma’s contributions to J-POP with a vibrant, nostalgic experience, ideal for tourists visiting Tokyo’s modern Ariake area, near attractions like teamLab Planets and Ariake Arena.

Disclaimer

Jasumo offers a facilitation service for foreign tourists and non-Japanese residents in Japan, helping them access and apply for tickets to various events, including but not limited to sports, festivals, and cultural activities. We are not a reseller of tickets, nor do we sell tickets directly. Our role is to support international customers by guiding them through the official ticket booking process, ensuring they can secure their tickets through recognized platforms and authorized providers.

As a business based in Japan with a bilingual staff and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by non-Japanese visitors, we address common bottlenecks such as:

• Language Barriers: Navigating Japan’s primarily Japanese-language ticketing systems can be challenging for foreign tourists. Jasumo provides bilingual support to bridge this gap and ensure a smooth booking experience.
• Access to Japanese-Only Platforms: Many events in Japan require local knowledge to navigate and access, and often these platforms do not offer international payment options or are difficult to use for non-Japanese speakers. We facilitate the booking process by providing guidance and helping with international payment methods where applicable.
• Limited Availability & Complex Registration: Events in Japan often have limited capacity, and understanding the timing and process for securing tickets can be confusing for international visitors. Jasumo helps you manage deadlines and requirements, giving you the best chance of securing your entry.

Due to high demand and limited capacity (8,000 seats per day), entries may close early. While we facilitate the registration process, availability cannot be guaranteed. Refunds will only be issued if entries cannot be secured through the official channels. We strongly recommend registering early to maximize your chances of attending.
