Overview

Mika Horii presents “Thank You for Your Hard Work Concert” ~With Readings by Famous People~ at Sumida Triphony Hall Main Hall is a heartwarming, narrative-infused orchestral soirée masterminded by Mika Horii, the beloved Japanese actress, essayist, and cultural ambassador whose warm voice and thoughtful curation have made her a staple of NHK radio dramas and stage readings since her 1980s debut.

This original “otsukaresama” (thank you for your hard work) tribute, a new project blending spoken-word reflections with accessible classical gems, unfolds on Friday, February 20, 2026, at Tokyo’s acoustically superb Sumida Triphony Hall Main Hall (~1,800 seats).

Under the baton of Ryuichiro Ikariyama, a rising conductor known for vibrant phrasing, the New Japan Philharmonic (NJP) performs a ~100-minute program of crowd-pleasing favorites: Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro Overture, Dvořák’s “New World” 2nd movement (Largo), Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana Intermezzo, Ravel’s Bolero, and more, each introduced by Horii’s gentle narration and readings from “famous people” (celebrity guests TBD—past events featured actors like Masachika Ichimura). Doors open at 18:15 for a 19:00 start, weaving music with messages of gratitude in a post-workweek embrace.

Hailed on X as “Horii’s cozy classical hug” and “Kinshicho’s feel-good Friday,” this DS Production—part of NJP’s 2026 season—offers balm for the soul. Tickets ¥6,000 (S) / ¥4,000 (A) via poco member presale (until Oct 31, 2025, 23:59 JST) and general release from November 1, 2025, 10:00 JST on e+. Secure via NJP Ticket Box—this otsukaresama oasis is set for swift, sentimental sellout.
