Rapper Awich will headline the first Japan edition of Red Bull Symphonic, a live event that fuses hip-hop with orchestral arrangements. The show pairs Awich with the Tokyo Secret Orchestra, conducted by Mika Takayama, and will rework Awich's representative songs for a full orchestra. The tour runs across four cities in November 2026, starting at The Symphony Hall in Osaka on November 17, followed by Fukuoka Symphony Hall on November 19, Sendai Bank Hall Izumity21 on November 25, and Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall on November 27. Tickets are priced at 9,000 yen for S seats and 7,500 yen for A seats, with early bird sales opening August 7 at 6:00 PM. Red Bull Symphonic has previously featured international rappers such as Metro Boomin, Asake, and Rick Ross. Since its debut in Austria in 2020, the series has staged 39 performances across 22 countries, with a 2024 show in Egypt drawing about 10,000 attendees, its largest audience to date. Awich, a central figure in the hip-hop crew YENTOWN, released the album Okinawan Wuman in November 2025, produced entirely by RZA of Wu-Tang Clan.
The Tokyo Secret Orchestra was formed through a Red Bull project, making this collaboration a natural extension of the brand's involvement in hip-hop. Awich's selection follows a year that included the release of Okinawan Wuman, her solo album produced entirely by RZA, and the viral success of RASEN in OKINAWA, whose official music video has surpassed 25 million views. The song originated from the mic relay project Red Bull RASEN, which also featured fellow Okinawa natives Togaki, OZworld, and CHICO CARLITO.
Red Bull Symphonic has built a reputation for pairing rappers with orchestral arrangements, and this edition continues that format. The series began in Austria in 2020 and has since traveled to 22 countries, with 39 performances total. The 2024 Egypt show with Marwan Pablo drew roughly 10,000 attendees, the largest crowd in the series' history. For Japan, the four-city run will give audiences a chance to hear Awich's catalog in a new context, with the orchestra reinterpreting her known tracks.
Ticket sales begin with a first-come, first-served early bird window on August 7 at 6:00 PM, ahead of the November performances.
