SINGAPORE – Fans of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba can look forward to a live concert featuring music from the Japanese anime and manga franchise on Oct 18.
Held at Esplanade Theatre, the show will be performed by an 18-piece orchestra, while scenes from the anime (2019 to 2024) are projected onto a full-sized cinema screen.
The series is set in a fictional world where humanity battles the threat of demons. It centres on a teenager, Tanjiro Kamado, who endeavours to become a demon slayer to avenge his family, who were killed by a demon. One of his sisters was turned into a demon, and Tanjiro hopes to find a remedy to turn her back into a human.
The 120-minute performance promises to capture the series’ emotional depth and cinematic grandeur in a live setting. It will focus on the anime’s first season, titled Tanjiro Kamado, Unwavering Resolve Arc.
In 2019, American streaming service Funimation named Demon Slayer “animation of the decade”. In 2020, the series won the Animation of the Year prize at the Tokyo Anime Awards, as well as the Anime of the Year accolade at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards.
Tickets to the concert can be purchased via BookMyShow from June 19 at 11am.
