Chainsaw Man – Reze Arc: New Details on the 2027 Cinema Live
Three performances in Yokohama pair the complete anime film with a newly arranged live accompaniment.
New details are set for the concert presentation CINEMA LIVE 2027 of Chainsaw Man – Reze Arc: guitarist Hisako Tabuchi will perform alongside film composer Kensuke Ushio, and a newly drawn visual featuring Denji and Reze has also been released. The performances take place on February 13 and 14, 2027 in the National Convention Hall of Pacifico Yokohama in Japan.
Film Screening with Newly Arranged Live Music
The program combines the entire cinema film with live accompaniment by a band and strings, arranged specially for the event. A large LED screen shows the story while musicians perform Kensuke Ushio's soundtrack. After the film screening, a shorter concert with music from the TV series is also planned. Ushio will appear for this together with Hisako Tabuchi, who is known, among other things, as the guitarist of NUMBER GIRL.
The musical direction and live arrangements are handled by Kenichi Takano. Yuki Kurihara is responsible for the string arrangements. The ensemble further includes bassist OKP-STAR and percussionist YUI ARAKAWA. The project is backed by the label mappa records, founded in 2025 by the animation studio MAPPA.
The film Reze Arc continues the story of the TV series. Previous coverage includes the Prime Video release of the film and the MAPPA EXPO with production material for Chainsaw Man. For a further look at current anime music events, see the string quartet concert for Haruhi Suzumiya.
