Osaka;a Modern Samurai, Kabuki, Ninja, Taiko, & Dance Show

UNBELIEVEABLY exciting show! The dancers were amazing, the music was exciting, the costumes beautiful & creative, and the audio-visuals were outstanding! Best part of our 27-day trip so far!!

It was very different from what we expected. A very modern twist on age old Japanese music and art forms. The troupe was lots of fun and encouraged the audience to participate in the show. I would have preferred a few less expletives in the songs for any children in the audience. Other than that it was a very lively and enjoyable performance. One thing I would suggest would be to let people know about the flashing lights and loud sounds WHEN they buy their tickets, as well as when they arrive at the theatre. My husband gets migraines from flashing lights so once he put on his sunglasses and inserted some earplugs that one of the staff very kindly gave him, he was fine. We just were not expecting it before we arrived. Thanks to all the cast for a fun afternoon.

Amazing show with some fun interaction with the audience

This show was fantastic. The cast was very interactive with the crowd. They were so entertaining. Would highly recommend.

This experience was truly beautiful! The passion in the performers is undeniable. I was truly inspired as a performer myself. If this reaches the team, please tell the dancer in the green that her solo made me cry; it was incredibly beautiful. Wishing the team the best and highly recommend this to those who come to Osaka!

Energetic, very engaging and highly enjoyable experience. The show is definitely worth a visit, especially if in the area for any reason (e.g. for the aquarium). Crew were fantastic and polite whilst requesting willing members of the audience to participate. Would definitely recommend to friends visiting in the future.

This show exceeded my expectations! Cultural infusion that just takes you away! The amount of talent on that stage is superb!! Be ready to have fun and participate too!!! Its a 10/10 if your in the Osaka area please go and support local artist!!! It leaves you wanting more!!!!!

It was very impressive, they were very talented! Great show and they where very enthusiastic!

This was one the best variety shows I’ve ever watched. Non-stop energy for an hour. Audience involvement. The cast was incredible, they deserve a show in Vegas! I will come watch this show every time I’m in Osaka, it was so fun. Highly recommend for all ages, you won’t be disappointed.

This is a very high energy show with a modern twist on traditional Japanese instruments, dance and culture. The cast is talented and engaging with the audience, involving guests in some of the activities. Be aware that some of the songs do contain language that some may find offensive. It was a little hard to find the theater as you go through a shop to get to the escalator. The show includes one beverage from a set menu and lasts about an hour or so. We really enjoyed it and were quite impressed by how talented the cast was.

The show was very entertaining. Kind of a mix of traditional with modern rock. The performers engaged the audience which made it quite fun.

Absolutely exceptional - ~50 mins of high-energy, jam-packed entertainment - my arms hurt from clapping and cheering. The audience participation was loads of fun and the talent on show was incredible. I also loved that each performance group got their own shout-out and opportunity to be applauded. Would recommend this to anyone visiting Osaka, such a brilliant group of people.

Loved this show. Highly energetic and the performance was excellent. Great audience interaction. Really appreciated thevtraditional and modern fusion. Shops downstairs were very engaging with free photos opportunity with props. The harbour shops beside the cultural centre were great to walk through and have something to eat

That was an excellent show was the first time that I experienced something like that, I am glad to booked. Rafael Gonzalez

Awesome, amazing, beautiful! Memorable experience for my family. It was very entertaining. Definitely the highlight of our Osaka trip.

Wow.. this show was unique in its own right. The dancers were incredible. The vibes were ‘vibing’, and each performer was so talented. The performers did a great job in getting the audience involved! The music was definitely geared towards westerners, but with a Japanese twist! We all got a chance to have a picture with the performers at the end which was lovely. A definite ‘Must-Do’ when visiting the area

This was an absolutely amazing experience for our whole family. The performers put in 100% energy and encouraged audience participation. It is a must see for anyone visiting Osaka. My family will remeber this experience for years to come. It is a totally awesome show!

Amazing experience of energetic music, dance, and martial arts displays all in one show! Highly recommend!!

Probably not what you are expecting - traditional instruments to modern club music and dancers - it’s good because it is so bad - very funny

Absolutely amazing show!!! The energy the performers put into the show was apparent.

Quite enjoyable. High intensity group of drummers, musicians can dancers. Using American songs which was nice.

My 13 year-round son and I really enjoyed the show. The fusion music and dancing were very high-energy, and we had a lot of fun. It's not for little kids. It's a bit sexualized and has explicit lyrics, but we thought the fusion of ancient drums, strings and winds with modern hip-hop, J-Pop and dancing was pretty cool.

A truly extraordinary experience. The performance was outstanding, with enthusiastic, talented performers. They actively engaged with the audience, encouraged participation, making it a truly memorable experience for everyone.

This needs a lot of work....out of all the things we did in Japan, this was one of the worst. The put the effort but the production could be so much better - too Americanized, loud English music, not the most incredible dances...

This show was so amazing! There is a lot of crowd interaction and the performers were so fun and very talented! The music choices were so fun and easy to vibe along with. The blend between traditional jaoanese music and modern music was phenomenal! I was laughing my head off the entire time, it was so much fun.

Probably one of the most embarrassing experiences I’ve had in my life. This show was not at all what I was expecting. The fusion was more catered towards vulgar American culture. My heart dropped to my stomach when I saw the female dancers come out in stripper heels and their butts out. Many of the reviews say it’s a fun time so I was fooled. The vibe was more like a club than a performance. I do not recommend if you want to see some sort of art form.

It was so much fun! The dancers and performers had so much positive energy and they put in maximum effort into giving their audience a fantastic performance.

Excellent,fantastic,must see. What a show,certaintly osaka need more time to give. It us different than tokyo Must see this show

Wow! We’re from Las Vegas and this show is as good (if not better) than some of the shows there! From the moment the performers stepped into the stage until the final bow, they lit up the theater with music, dance, and theatrics that kept enchanted! We had so much fun that we will definitely come see the show again if we get back to Osaka. Such a great blend of ancient instruments and modern dance - truly a great evening!

The performance was very modern but with Japanese elements. The performers were super nice and kawaii, had lots of energy and offered even small drinks. You could go also on stage with them to play an instrument. At the end, you could even take a free picture with them. So if you go there, don't expect a historic samurai show. This reflects the modern style of Osaka.

We loved the show! A brilliant blend of different Japanese theatrical art styles, a fusion of traditional and modern music and dance performances. Full of very talented musicians, dancers and performers. Thank you all so much!!!

The show was excellent. A great performance full of energy and movement. Exceptional I would recommend you see this show.

If you are into modern performances with fusion effects this may be for you . The dancing was mediocre- but the drumming and musical instruments were great. I was disappointed in the language[words] of some of the English songs If it is a traditional samurai show you are looking for - skip this show

Time worth spent or money worth spent. Amazing energetic beautiful performance of every kinds. I will say that this is very unique Japanese modern fusion high energetic performance that I am lucky to book to see before leaving Japan.

Amazing performance. High energy, up tempo and cohesive performance from a collection of talented performers. They involved the crowd and kept it entertaining throughout.

I was looking for a performance for Japanese drums. There was nothing online except this one. This is show did have it but it’s not the kind of production I was expecting. This was fun and up beat. It was nice to watch and a great end to my night. Staff was very friendly. I almost thought it was a promotion to a club.

This was a really awesome night out. The cast created a beautiful fusion of traditional Japanese dance and music and modern with a huge amount of energy. Thanks for a brilliant night in Osaka!

High energy show - great in that regard. Advertised as ‘Family Friendly’ show, not quite. We werent the only ones with younger children, ours 9yp and 11yo). Not a feminist but the women was definitely sexualised and shy of getting down to underwear, some of the dance themes and dance wear or lack thereof were definitely not children friendly. The men’s dance attire were regular dance gear. The western music chosen all had repeated F bombs over and over. Should be catered for 15 plus audience. Disappointed. A definite for couples but not families with younger children.

I would go again. It’s a highly energetic and contagiously happy show. The performers give it their 110% and no matter what you had going before the beginning of the show, it will certainly lift your spirits and make you want to clap and participate and sing and scream.

One hour shoe €39 you need to take subway about 30m from main area wasn’t what we expected but show was fun and entertaining cast were lovely

Awesome experience! A blend of modern and traditional music that only the Japanese can accomplish. Highly recommended must see.

Wonderful experience! I definitely recommend it! It was full of costumes, colors, beautiful and talented artists! A big thank you!

Show was amazing. So much energy. My 17 y/o daughter and I loved it. Could not stop smiling. I loved the big drums. Great experience

It not have anything concerning Japanese cultures, it is American styled cabaret's show, very noisy, not recommended.

Some of the same musicians from Utage with the addition of sexualized female dancers. More emphasis on “fusion” than Asian. Much of the music was western. While entertaining, it was definitely not as much of a cultural experience as Utage.

Not suitable for younger children. The listing says family friendly, but the first 10 minutes of the show uses music with profanity, and soon after they have a "champagne time" and open a bottle of champagne from the stage. The music was very loud and we had to cover our daughters ears the whole time. We left early. The performances are even done over loud music so it was hard to appreciate the musicians.

Great show! So much energy, talented crew who were very interactive with the audience. One of the best shows we have seen since arriving in Japan. Amazing show for adults not suited for younger children due to language.

Great entertainment. The performers and musicians were so talented and fantastic. Very enjoyable and they have engaged the crowd very well. It was nice to have a pic of the whole cast after the show. Definitely a worthwhile event to see in Osaka.

We across the Osaka Night Fusion while searching for things to do in Osaka. This show was amazing! Very talented Japanese artists, who played some traditional Japanese instruments music and dance with modern music - really cool! 59 minutes long - but worth it. A must-do while in Osaka.
