A Music Show That Happens to Use Fireworks
The concept is straightforward. Three decades of Detective Conan opening themes, ending themes and background score will go up over the Yokohama waterfront in time with the shells. The organizing committee calls it a music-and-fireworks entertainment show, one built to bring back the Conan memories each fan carries, and characters from the TV series and the theatrical films are scheduled to make voice appearances during the program.
The production credits are what separate this from a standard tie-in event. The organizers are staging the show with the team behind the Geijutsu Hanabi (Artistic Fireworks) series, a nationally touring format that programs its displays in units of a thirtieth of a second, with hang time and afterglow factored into the timing. Fireworks choreographer Ryō Ōya (大矢亮), whose Geijutsu Hanabi credits include productions in Sapporo, Kyoto and Osaka, is handling the choreography for a nonstop show the committee describes as running through the same emotional beats as a film.
Yokohama Puts Its Waterfront to Work
The venue is Yamashita Pier in Naka-ku, hosting the Conan fireworks for the first time. Doors open at 13:00 and the show starts at 17:00, which puts the display against the Yokohama night skyline rather than a summer-festival afternoon.
Yokohama was the setting of this year's film, Detective Conan: Fallen Angel of the Highway, so the city's waterfront is already fresh in the minds of anyone who caught the movie in spring. The event runs with cooperation from Yomiuri Chukyo FS Holdings, production support from the Broadcast Music Culture Promotion Foundation and YTE, and backing from the City of Yokohama and the Yokohama Port Harbor Resort Association. The official site sits on the domain of Yomiuri Telecasting, the broadcaster that has co-produced the anime with TMS Entertainment since it premiered on January 8, 1996.
Tickets Start at 8,900 Yen
The official first-round presale opened at 20:30 on September 5 through the ticketing site e-plus, per the committee's PR TIMES release. Pricing runs from ¥8,900 for a standard S seat up to ¥14,500 for a front-block premium seat that comes with merchandise. An S seat with the same merchandise bundle is ¥12,500, and wheelchair S seats are offered at ¥12,500 with goods or ¥8,900 without, with up to two companions per chair.
A few details are worth checking before booking. The goods contents are identical across both bundled tiers, and a bundled ticket does not guarantee a better seat. Applications are capped at four tickets. Preschool-age children get in free but need a ticket if they require a seat of their own. Event-exclusive original merchandise will also be sold at the venue on the day.
One more line in the fine print: the show goes ahead in rain but will be cancelled in severe weather, with the call announced on the official site and social channels.
Looking Ahead
General ticket sales are scheduled to start in mid-October, after the presale rounds wrap. The release makes no mention of a livestream or any international ticketing option, so for now you have to be in Yokohama to see it.
International fans do have more Conan access than they did a year ago. Curated episode collections, including Conan vs. The Black Organization, Rivals of the Great Detective and the FBI-focused set added in May 2026, are streaming on Crunchyroll and Netflix with a new English dub. Viz Media publishes Gosho Aoyama's manga in English as Case Closed, now past 100 volumes. Fallen Angel of the Highway has not had an announced Western theatrical or streaming date.
