Anime Tokyo Station is an anime exhibition site focused on Japanese anime content, which has developed a devout fan base even outside Japan. It regularly hosts special exhibitions for popular anime, and attracts over 130,000 visitors a year (as of 2025 January), children and adults alike, from both Japan and overseas.
From February 8 to May 6, it will be hosting a special exhibition for the TV anime “OSHI NO KO“, which enjoys tremendous popularity among both Japanese and foreign audiences.
“OSHI NO KO”, created by the dream team of Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari, is a popular anime that uses a novel approach to shine a light on the entertainment industry. It tells the story of the fateful encounter between a young doctor and his favorite idol, Ai, an idol in the group B-KOMACHI. Launched in April 2023, it has drawn a great deal of attention not only for its story but also its music, and last year generated even more buzz with the announcement of a third season.
The exhibits in this special exhibition will include key scenes that cover the anime’s story, life-sized panels of characters, photo spots, video that lets exhibition attendees experience what it would be like to see a live performance of B-KOMACHI, the idol group from the anime, and more.
Come to Anime Tokyo Station and experience the full appeal of “OSHI NO KO”.
