CANDY TUNE Transforms Historic Asakusa Hanayashiki into a “Candy Mansion” for 3rd Anniversary Celebration!
Japan’s oldest amusement park, Asakusa Hanayashiki, is set to be spectacularly transformed into “Asakusa Ameyashiki” (Candy Mansion) for eight special nights to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of the popular idol group CANDY TUNE. This unique event promises an immersive experience from May 1st to May 8th, 2026, where the park will come alive with dazzling lights, sweet melodies, and vibrant candy-themed decorations.
The special night operation will run from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM each evening, with last entry at 9:00 PM. During this period, the entire park, from its attractions and festival stalls to its food offerings and overall decor, will be taken over by CANDY TUNE’s celebratory spirit. Visitors will be greeted at the main gate by an “Ameyashiki” sign, stepping into a world where 3rd-anniversary projections, cake-shaped objects, and seven-colored candy-shaped balloons create a truly festive atmosphere. The air will be filled with the sounds of CANDY TUNE’s new song, “HAPPY BOUNCE BIRTHDAY,” setting the perfect mood for a jubilant celebration. Fans are buzzing with excitement, ready to ‘bounce’ into this unique celebration!
An Interactive Wonderland of Music and Memories
Guests will find numerous photo opportunities throughout the park, featuring specially captured visual panels of CANDY TUNE members. These panels will showcase members in poses tailored to each attraction and area, offering unique “Ameyashiki” original visuals. Furthermore, seven popular attractions will play a curated selection of CANDY TUNE’s songs as background music, creating a “playable” best album that allows fans to relive the group’s three-year journey while enjoying the rides. The members themselves will provide park-wide and attraction-specific announcements, adding an intimate touch to the night’s festivities.
