Background & History

Iwao Furusawa × Koji Yamamoto DANDYISM BANQUET 3 is a nationwide concert tour running from July 19 to October 7, 2025, featuring world-renowned violinist Iwao Furusawa and actor Koji Yamamoto, directed by Yamamoto with music direction by pianist Satoshi Shiotani. This innovative stage blends Furusawa’s emotive violin, Yamamoto’s narration and vocals, and a dynamic ensemble of super musicians—Yosuke Konuma (guitar), Gen Ogimi (percussion), and Yosuke Inoue (bass)—delivering a mix of classical, jazz, and contemporary music. The tour visits iconic venues like Bunkamura Orchard Hall (Tokyo, 2,150 seats), Sapporo Cultural Arts Theater Hitaru (Hokkaido, 2,300 seats), and Okayama Arts and Creative Theater Hallenowa (Okayama, 1,700 seats). This third installment of the Dandyism Banquet series, produced by NHK Enterprises, offers a soulful collaboration described as “a new musical stage mediated by sound and words.” Visitors can pair performances with local attractions like Tokyo’s Shibuya, Okayama’s Korakuen Garden, or Sapporo’s Odori Park.

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 (Tokyo and Aichi nearing sell-out), availability is not guaranteed, especially for September 14 and 21. Refunds will only be issued if entries cannot be secured through official channels. We strongly recommend purchasing by the respective deadlines (September 6–October 5, 2025) or monitoring official resale (5 days prior) to maximize your chances of attending.
