Sunrise revealed that it will hold an orchestra concert themed after Gundam SEED Freedom called Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom In Concert. It will take place in Yokohama, Japan, on July 6, 2024, and the concert will run twice at 12:30 JST and 17:30 JST on the same day.
Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra will perform orchestral renditions of the movie’s tracks, and footage from the movie will also be played simultaneously. The Gundam SEED series composer Toshihiko Sahashi will re-arrange the tracks on his own. Takanori “T.M. Revolution” Nishikawa and Lacus Clyne’s voice actress Rie Tanaka will also sing in the concert. Meanwhile, the series director Mitsuo Fukuda will appear in a talk show with Toshihiko Sahashi.
Tickets for the concert will range from 11,000 yen (~$71.20) to 12,000 yen (~$77.70). Gundam Fanclub premium members can immediately join the lottery to earn the chance to purchase early bird tickets, which Sunrise will close on May 19, 2024. Public lotteries for the tickets will be available later from May 18, 2024, to June 2, 2024.
The concert will be primarily based on the movie, which is still available in theaters across Japan until May 23, 2024. Bandai Namco is also gradually bringing Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom to theaters in other countries worldwide. Sunrise also revealed that the movie has grossed over 4.52 billion yen—or around $2.877 million—as of May 1, 2024.
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom In Concert will take place at Pacifico Yokohama on Saturday, July 6, 2024.
