The Konica Minolta Tenku Mirai Project 2016 is set to take place at the Konica Minolta Planetarium Tenku in Tokyo Skytree Town®.
Space Brothers Voice Actors Hiroaki Hirata & KENN
This event will connect three locations across Japan with the International Space Station via the internet. Voice actors from the popular Space Brothers anime, Hiroaki Hirata who plays Mutta Nanba and KENN who plays Hibito Nanba, will carry out a conversation with a real life JAXA employee. The event will be broadcast across all the venues.
There will also be Space Brothers-related videos projected and original smartphone-enhanced experiences available only at this Space Brothers collaborative event in which you can enjoy a “space walk” alongside Mutta, Hibito, and even Apo by walking under the videos on show in the dome, so it’s an event no fan will want to miss.
Events are available at the Planetarium. The programme may vary across the different venues, so check with the box office for the full details.
