THANK YOU FOR A GREAT YEAR!

As 2025 comes to a close, we want to thank all the partners, promoters, venues, and individuals who worked with us in making this SOHO Live’s best year yet.

Every show is an unrepeatable experience, but some of our 2025 highlights include:

- Our first outdoor orchestral show, with Stardew Valley: Symphony of Seasons playing 2 concerts at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles

- Launching our brand new production, DEATH STRANDING Strands of Harmony, at the iconic Sydney Opera House

- The Genshin Orchestra Concert at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, a massive production involving multiple high profile partners

- Our Shovel Knight concerts: two nights of intimate, high energy rock/jazz arrangements of an incredible indie game soundtrack

- Stepping for the first time into the China with 2 tours, discovering a whole new market unlike any other country in the world

Happy Holidays and we can’t wait to work with you again in 2026!

The DEATH STRANDING Strands of Harmony World Tour Kicks Off In Sydney!

On November 8th, 2,000 porters attended the premiere at the Sydney Opera House, with very special guests Ludvig Forssell and Jenny Plant performing on stage with The Metropolitan Orchestra conducted by Sarah-Grace Williams.

It’s been 2 years since we first approached KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS with this project, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to see it all come together in this legendary venue.

A massive thank you to all the partners who made this possible - it’s always a huge endeavor to create a brand new production, and every single person and company involved worked tirelessly toward the shared goal of creating an amazing concert experience for the DEATH STRANDING community.

We look forward to bringing the tour to fans in North America, Europe, and Asia in the coming months.

Introducing the DEATH STRANDING harmonica

KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS and SOHO Live, in collaboration with Suzuki Musical Instrument—a legacy name in precision-crafted harmonicas—are thrilled to announce a special limited-edition harmonica inspired by the DEATH STRANDING series.

An exclusive release limited to just 1,000 units, available only at the 20 Strands of Harmony concerts, the official global tour celebrating the world and music of DEATH STRANDING.

Proudly made in Japan, the SUZUKI 10-Hole Harmonica SOH MODEL is based on the popular and durable MANJI M-20, known for its rich volume and expressive tone. The body, made from wood fiber-reinforced resin, delivers a warm, full sound, while the uniquely shaped cover provides excellent resonance and a comfortable grip.

Inspired by the harmonica’s soothing presence in both DEATH STRANDING and DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH, the harmonica is packaged in a serial-numbered collector’s box — making it a true collector’s item for all DEATH STRANDING fans.

THE SYMPHONY OF SEASONS TOUR PREMIERES IN SEATTLE

In August 2025, we had the pleasure to premiere our new concert tour, Stardew Valley Symphony of Seasons, with a total of four fantastic concerts in front of 9,000 fans in Seattle.

Our team and our partners worked tirelessly on this production for the past year and a half, and seeing fans enjoy it for the first time was an incredibly rewarding moment.

A big thank you to Benaroya Hall for having us, and to all the partners and vendors who are making this tour possible.

4 shows down, 129 to go!

GENSHIN CONCERT TOUR Live in New York City

On January 25th we had the pleasure to produce the only North American concert of the latest GENSHIN CONCERT TOUR, in collaboration with 54 Entertainment.

A 70+ piece orchestra performed almost 3 hours of music in front of 5,000 fans, in the heart of Manhattan at the Theater at Madison Square Garden.

It was one of SOHO Live’s most ambitious concerts to date, and we need to thank our many partners for all their hard work in making this an overwhelming success.

In particular, thank you to miHoYo and Sony Music Solutions for trusting us with the concert they beautifully crafted, to Jim Neglia for finding the best possible musicians that could perform this long and varied repertoire, to conductor Thanapol Setabrahmana for leading those musicians and connecting with the audience, and to Black Ink Presents for their expertise in executing the countless production aspects that made this a great show.

Symphonic Anime Comes to North America

In September 2024, SOHO Live had the exciting opportunity to bring Symphonic Anime to North America for the first time, staging three spectacular concerts in Montreal, Toronto, and Boston.

Following widespread success in Asia, 54 Entertainment sought to debut this unique production in the West. They partnered with SOHO Live and Kashamara Productions to bring the experience to life across three North American cities. Together, we secured iconic venues such as Boston’s Symphony Hall, arranged for three full 100-piece orchestras and choirs, and launched marketing campaigns tailored to connect with each city’s anime community.

Under the skilled direction of conductor Thanapol Setabrahmana, the vocals of the remarkable Nat Sathida, and three of the original amime composers in attendance from Japan, Symphonic Anime delivered three unforgettable performances blending the rich soundscapes of beloved Japanese anime themes with the expressive interpretation of North American orchestras. Each night was met with critical acclaim from enthusiastic audiences, creating a memorable celebration of anime music across borders.

Stardew Valley: Festival Of Seasons Tour Finale in Tokyo

After an incredible journey spanning 63 shows across 13 countries, SOHO Live’s first original tour concluded in our hometown of Tokyo with a spectacular finale at the beautiful Kioi Hall.

The Japanese Stardew Valley community was treated to an unforgettable performance, conducted by the tour’s original arranger Thanapol Setabrahmana, and brought to life by the talented musicians of the Fegfis Ensemble. Each piece celebrated the charm and warmth of Stardew Valley’s iconic soundtrack, creating a deeply emotional experience for fans.

To cap off this perfect ending to the first-ever Stardew Valley music tour, game creator and composer Eric Barone traveled from Seattle to attend the concert. Barone surprised concertgoers with a heartfelt onstage speech, and then delighted fans with an impromptu post-show meet-and-greet, making the Tokyo finale a truly memorable close to an extraordinary tour.
