On September 25th, TV Asahi held a content presentation at its headquarters (Minato Ward, Tokyo) for TOKYO DREAM PARK, a complex entertainment facility that was scheduled to open in spring 2026, and officially announced the opening date as March 27th. Chairman Hayakawa Hiroshi, who took the stage, revealed the current construction status, saying, "It's a facility that combines entertainment and technology. It's about 80% complete." He added, "We're bringing together all of TV Asahi's know-how, and since our television business is performing well, we're trying to make an even bigger leap forward."
Tokyo Dream Park is a facility currently under construction by TV Asahi in Ariake, Koto Ward, Tokyo. Based on the philosophy that "the source of all value lies in content," it will be a new platform for holding real-life events utilizing the company's own intellectual property (IP). The site area is 12,900 square meters, with nine floors above ground and one below ground, and will include a multi-purpose hall for live music performances, a theater ideal for plays and musicals, an event space equipped with the latest video and music equipment, a digital art facility where you can enjoy world-famous paintings using the latest technology, a rooftop plaza, a restaurant, and more.
It was also announced that the opening ambassadors will be the comedy duo Sandwichman, who have a regular program on the station, and violinist Chisako Takashima. Sandwichman's Date Mikio, who appeared on stage at the announcement, greeted the audience by saying, "We're TV Asahi kids." Takashima, not to be outdone, responded by saying, "I'm a real TV Asahi kid," and enthusiastically stated, "The number of people attending our concerts has increased since we appeared on 'Zawatsuku! (Friday)'. I'd like to take advantage of this opportunity to attract people of all ages and genders (laughs)."
It was also revealed that Shigeaki Kato of the popular group "NEWS" will be the original author, scriptwriter, and creative producer for the theater's opening performance, "AmberS." The play will star Kazuya Ohashi of " Naniwa Danshi " and Takuto Teranishi of "timelesz."
It was also announced that the popular theater troupe Gekidan Shinkansen will be holding a new performance, and that the 100% Doraemon & Friends Exhibition, the largest Doraemon event ever held in five Asian cities, will be held in Japan for the first time.
