Overview

Direct from Budrio, Italy—the historical birthplace of the ocarina—the world-renowned Ocarina Septet G.O.B. (Gruppo Ocarinistico Budriese) returns to Japan for its third major nationwide tour hosted by Min-On. This venerable ensemble is celebrated for its “national treasure” level of harmony, utilizing a unique set of seven different-sized ocarinas to create an orchestral depth that ranges from delicate solos to grand symphonic textures.

The 2026 tour continues the mission of promoting cultural friendship between Japan and Italy. The program is a delightful blend of Italian classics like “Funiculì, Funiculà,” high-energy tangos like Piazzolla’s “Libertango,” and beloved Japanese melodies including “My Neighbor Totoro.” Performing in premier halls across Japan, from the modern Culttz Kawasaki to the historic Aichi Prefectural Arts Theatre, the Ocarina Septet G.O.B. offers a rare opportunity to hear this humble instrument played with world-class virtuosity and passion.

Why Attend

• A Musical Rarity: Witness the specific “Budrio style” of ocarina performance, featuring seven musicians playing instruments of different ranges to mimic a full chamber orchestra.
• Diverse Program: Enjoy a curated selection of songs that cross borders—from Italian opera favorites by Rossini to the nostalgic anime scores of Studio Ghibli.
• Cultural Celebration: Participate in the 60th-anniversary legacy of the Min-On Concert Association, which has brought the world’s finest cultural performers to Japan for decades.
• Acoustic Excellence: Hear the pure, earthy tones of the ocarina in venues like Culttz Kawasaki, specifically chosen for their ability to project the instrument’s unique timbre without electronic amplification.

FAQs

Are children allowed to attend the Ocarina Septet G.O.B. concerts?

Please note that preschool children are not allowed admission to these performances. This policy ensures a quiet and respectful environment for the delicate, acoustic nature of the ocarina ensemble.

What is the difference between “Non-reserved” and “S seats” at the Tokushima venue?

S seats provide a guaranteed, specific seat number typically in the best viewing area. “Non-reserved” seats allow you to choose any available seat within a designated section on a first-come, first-served basis once the doors open at 17:30.

What should I do if the Kawasaki performance shows “Only a few left”?

Inventory moves very quickly for popular Min-On tours. If the primary ticket office runs out, our concierge service can check verified secondary marketplaces to help you secure a seat before the concert sells out completely.

Can I request specific seat rows or blocks through your service?

While we aim to get the best possible seats available at the time of purchase, specific seat selection depends on the platform’s current inventory. You can mention your preference (e.g., “aisle seat” or “front block”) in our contact form, and we will do our best to accommodate.

How do I get to Culttz Kawasaki from Tokyo?

Culttz Kawasaki is a 15–20 minute walk from JR Kawasaki Station. We recommend taking a taxi (approx. 900 yen) from the station if you prefer to avoid the walk, especially since the venue is located in a sports and cultural complex slightly removed from the main shopping district.
