Scene 1: Japanese Drum Performance By Powerful Warrior
With the beautifully designed moving stages, the show starts with a performance of traditional Japanese drums "Taiko". Not just the sound of the drums, even the stages and costumes of the dancers are amazing! It is just like watching a Japanese festival (Matsuri) of robots!!
The music and drums make the theater hotter and hotter! Everyone is cheering and whistle blowing to show their support to the dancers on the floor!! Wow!
A cute female ninja welcomes you!!
Near the end of scene 1, the first part is wrapped by traditional Japanese Ninja! The battle between two groups of ninja is exciting!!
What is next after the ninja battle? It is the traditional Japanese songs (Enka) time! What a great way to end the first part of the show!!
A beautiful princess with a beautiful voice!!
Scene 2: Battles of Giant Robots
Forest animals on earth Vs. Alien invaders
The peaceful forest on earth is invaded by the empire of evil robots, and that's how the story begins…….
We have the representative from the sky, the Golden Eagle!! Can he save the forest and animals?
His gorgeous and huge flapping wings highlight this part of the show!
Next is the insect representative! A huge and colorful spider and her warrior!
Next is the representative of sea, the great sharks and mermaid!!
The sharks just got the invader! He is chewing him with his sharp teeth!! Ouch……
The final battle is fought by the bosses of both sides. Representative of the forest is the big venomous snake! No matter how powerful the alien invaders are, they can't fight against this great creature on earth. Invaders are defeated and peace of forest is restored!
Scene 3: Dance Performance
Next is the colorful laser show! No lights is used except the laser. Enjoy the great music and dance in the dark! Other than robots, this dance performance is amazing too!
Scene 4: Robot Parade in the Future
A perfect ending of the show!
It is like a robot festival! On the floor, big and colorful robots are joining the dancers in this special parade! Just follow the music and enjoy yourself in the last part of the show!!
Dance, Music, and Robots!
Before watching the robot show, I thought the show was just robot centered. However, it turns out it is a show mixed with robots, music, dance and many kinds of special effects. This is definitely a great entertainment show for everyone!
Next time, when you come to Shinjuku Tokyo, please go to Kabukicho and visit ROBOT RESTAURANT!!
Don't forget to show the 2,000 yen off discount coupon to the staff!!
