GACKT PHILHARMONIC 2025 DEMONIC SYMPHONY THE REVIVAL

Already spoken of as a legend —
GACKT PHILHARMONIC 2025 DEMONIC SYMPHONY THE REVIVAL
On the night when the Demon King GACKT took complete command and sound, darkness, and light intertwined, the world held its breath.
The audience was drawn deep into his world, a spellbinding realm crafted through the fusion of a powerful band sound and a grand orchestra, where every note crafted with the precision and allure of magic.
It was as if an incantation had been cast,
captivating the hearts of all who watched and listened. By the end, no one even remembered how to breathe.
After the performance, an overwhelming number of fans and industry alike pleaded for its return: “Bring that show back once again.” Now, at last, their wish will be granted.
On December 23rd, the legendary performance will be reborn.
The band members of YELLOW FRIED CHICKENz, personally led by the Demon King himself, reunite once again and joining them is the Grand Philharmonic Tokyo orchestra.
Comprising active top-tier musicians from Japan and abroad, alongside a new generation of rising talents, this ensemble stands out as a truly exceptional orchestra unlike any other.
In the previous performance, the orchestra, cloaked in black robes and hidden behind masks, performed on their feet, commanding the stage with an intensity unseen in the world of classical music. Now, with the addition of an all-standing first-floor section, the boundary between stage and audience disappears, transforming the venue into a transcendent space where pure musical ecstasy is shared as one.
GACKT PHILHARMONIC 2025 DEMONIC SYMPHONY THE REVIVAL is officially set to take place on December 23rd at Sumida Triphony Hall.
The mind of the Demon King GACKT never rests. His relentless pursuit of new challenges continues to create entirely new scenes, fearlessly transcending the boundaries between classical and rock while evolving both. He believes with absolute conviction that beyond those boundaries lies the future itself.
