If you dressed up as Tanjiro and friends or even as one of the Hashira for Halloween, you might want to dust off that patterned haori jacket for this: a Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba live concert is coming to Hong Kong this January for two nights only!
Happening on January 27 and 28 at the Big Top at the Central Harbourfront Event Space, ‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba In Concert’ will plunge fans into the mesmerising soundscape of the hit anime series produced by Japanese studio Ufotable. Demon Slayer has received consistent praise across the years for its gripping storytelling and high-quality animation, and its spirited soundtrack, composed by Yuki Kajiura and Go Shiina, plays a dominant role in creating lasting emotional resonance.
‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba In Concert’ will feature an 18-piece orchestral band on stage; the musicians are set to perform the instrumental music of the Unwavering Resolve Arc in a live arrangement while epic scenes from the anime’s first season are projected onto a cinema-size screen for audiences to watch, following Tanjiro’s harrowing quest to become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, find a cure for his sister-turned-demon Nezuko, and exact revenge on Muzan Kibutsuji, who is responsible for Tanjiro’s sister becoming a demon.
Does this mean that concert-goers will get to hear LiSA’s iconic season opener, Gurenge, or FictionJunction’s soul-stirring closing track, From the Edge, live at the show? No promises, unfortunately – Hong Kong organiser King Entertainment has not shared whether there will be guest singers performing on stage alongside the orchestra.
What has been confirmed is that tickets for both dates are selling fast – no surprises there, considering the robust local audience of anime fans in Hong Kong.
