On Friday, August 1, 2025, the “Sumitomo Pavilion Day Special Live: imase × Sumitomo Pavilion ‘SPROUT’” was held at the EXPO Hall Shine Hat within the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai venue.
The Sumitomo Pavilion engages in collaborative co-creation with a wide range of creators, artists, and companies. The Special Live “SPROUT” was a one-day-only dream performance born from collaboration with artists. Blending music and visuals, the show invited visitors into a unique world where they could sense the “SPROUT” of the future taking root.
Although the originally scheduled artist, imase, was unfortunately unable to perform due to health reasons, the event was successfully carried out with a revised program. It featured guest performances by supporting artists meiyo and Chippoke Ohashi, stage MC/DJ Daiki Higuchi, and a special appearance by MYAKU-MYAKU, the official Expo mascot.
meiyo and Chippoke Ohashi each performed covers of imase’s signature songs, accompanied by imase’s band members, in a special one-day-only live performance.
On the day of the event, special gifts were offered to visitors. Limited-edition original goods were distributed, and a stamp exclusive to August 1 was available.
You can view highlights of the event on the Sumitomo Pavilion official website and official social media accounts.
