The Tokyo Night & Light projection mapping show at the Metropolitan Tokyo transforms the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building No. 1 into a canvas for colorful art using light and sound. This nightly show has become a popular sightseeing attraction that illuminates the Tokyo night, with over 200,000 visitors in the first three months since its debut on February 25, 2024.
One of the highlights of the show includes “Godzilla: Attack on Tokyo,” a weekend and holiday feature showcasing the iconic Godzilla in celebration of his 70th birthday. The 100-meter tall Godzilla from the “VS Series” films is projected onto the Metropolitan Government Building, engaging in a thrilling battle with the new anti-Godzilla weapon “Super X2 modified” at a life-size scale.
Another enchanting aspect of the show is “Ukiyo,” a Japanese-style content inspired by Ukiyo-e paintings that originated during the Edo period (1603-1868). These paintings depict various aspects of daily life with vibrant colors and intricate details, reflecting a world that is always evolving. By using visuals created through AI learning and CG technology, the creators of the show have bridged the gap between Ukiyo-e paintings and contemporary pop culture, offering a unique experience of Japanese culture on a grand scale.
Guests are invited to immerse themselves in this awe-inspiring projection mapping show, merging traditional art with modern technology on the world’s largest canvas. For more information on showtimes and schedules, visit https://tokyoprojectionmappingproject.jp/en/event/20240225/.
