We would like to inform you that JO1 has decided that Junki Kono and Sho Yonashiro will perform at the “Friends of Disney Music Festival 2026” to be held at Tokyo International Forum Hall A on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 (holiday). At the same time, we will begin accepting reservations for additional tickets.
The beginning of a new Disney music experience.
“Friends of Disney Music Festival 2026” will take a step forward from the 10-year-old concert and evolve into a more casual and pop “festival” experience that everyone can enjoy.
With a new name, a sense of dynamism, three-dimensional sound, and unexpected collaborations that can be enjoyed throughout the venue, this event is unlike anything before.
We will deliver a different kind of free and open Disney music time.
■Performing artists announcement 3rd
Junki Kono (JO1)
Yona Cheng’e (JO1)
Junki Kono (JO1) is the voice actor for the role of Jonathan in the premium dubbed version of the live-action movie “Snow White” and is the voice actor for the song in the movie.
Her singing is also attracting attention. With a singing voice that is close to the worldview of Disney works, she has moved many Disney fans.
Sho Yonashiro (JO1) is also an artist who has been familiar with Disney works, such as participating in the “Snow White” US premium event with Kono, and has professed his love for stories and music.
At this festival, the two main vocalists from JO1 will further enliven “Friends of Disney Music Festival 2026” with their singing and expressive skills.
In addition to announcing the third group of performing artists, some of the stage content unique to this festival will also be revealed.
In 2026, a special corner featuring “Disney Channel” is planned.
This is a gorgeous look back at Disney Channel’s masterpieces that have been loved by generations, including “High School Musical,” which is celebrating its 20th anniversary since it began airing in Japan, with music and images.
In addition, we are planning to hold a reading corner that depicts the world of stories that have created many impressions every year in “voice”.
This performance will be based on the first Pixar film, “Remember Me,” and will enrich the lingering impression of the work with overwhelming dialogue depictions and music that conveys the characters’ emotions.
In addition, a number of Disney masterpieces selected from movies, animation, stage plays, etc. will be performed. In a pop and casual atmosphere, stages that can only be experienced here will be held one after another.
“Friends of Disney Music Festival 2026” lets you enjoy Disney music, stories, and the voices of artists.
As the festival evolves, expectations are high for this year’s stage.
At the venue, there will be a special store selling only Disney music products, which first arrived in Japan last year and has been well received.
It has been decided that the online store “Disney Music Emporium” (DME) will open a physical store for the first time.
This will be a valuable opportunity for you to actually hold and view CDs and records, and enjoy the music that you will experience on stage.
You can also enjoy it at home.
