In preparation for the opening of the new Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, Kabukicho will be putting on a party with free live performances, a mikoshi (portable shrine) procession, and outdoor movie festival.

While the signs around Kabukicho will be blue for the whole month of April, the main festivities will happen on April 15 to 16. There will be a special stage set up on the east side of the new building and in Cine City Square.
