Japan Night Reception & Concert will take place the night before the Japan Parade on Friday, May 9 at the Edison Ballroom (240 W. 47th Street).

The evening will begin with a reception at 5:30pm followed by the concert at 7:00pm.
The Concert will be hosted by NBC News Correspondent Emilie Ikeda, opening with an exclusive one-night-only performance from the cast of the musical adaptation of the popular manga, ATTACK on TITAN: The Musical. MIYABI Koto Shamisen Ensemble, led by a renowned Japanese koto player, Masayo Ishigure, will perform with this traditional instrument. There will also be a visual presentation of traditional Japanese crafts presented by the title sponsor of the event, ASP Group. The event will close with a live performance by Sayaka Yamamoto, singer-songwriter and former captain of the popular group NMB48.
