Akino Tsudoi: In Search of the Phantom Bird

An autumn night of music in Tokyo

They say a phantom bird appears only in autumn.

If you happen to catch a glimpse of it, you may be granted a little happiness—or reminded of something you had long forgotten.

No one knows where the bird lives.

But there is a story: on an autumn night, if you follow the sound of music and the cheerful voices drifting through the air, you might just find it.

Akino Tsudoi: In Search of the Phantom Bird brings this little picture-book world to life through music, for one special night in Tokyo.

New to these artists?

YMCK is a Japanese chiptune trio known for turning the sounds of 8-bit game consoles into warm, melodic pop. If you enjoy chiptune, or the sophisticated pop of Tokyo's Shibuya-kei scene, this might be a night for you.

Maybe you'll find it.
