Why it matters
Konami's second batch is scheduling more than a reveal: the new cabinet gets one hour of play on the public day with no players named, while the rest of the stage time goes to a mascot game, a livestream and a tournament.
Key Facts
- AMUSEMENT EXPO 2026 runs November 6 and 7 at Tokyo Big Sight, with November 6 a business day and November 7 open to the public.
- Konami Amusement scheduled a jubeat new cabinet special exhibition match for November 7 from 11:30 to 12:30.
- AMUSEMENT MUSIC FES 2026 takes the South Hall 4 stage on November 7 from 12:50 to 16:30, with AiMEE added to Konami Amusement's performers.
- Monster Rekuden: Oreca Battle 2 brings 16 qualifiers from the Entry Fight ranking event to a semifinal and final on November 7 from 14:00 to 14:45.
- A record 54 companies are scheduled to exhibit at AMUSEMENT EXPO 2026, exceeding last year's exhibitor count.
The expo runs November 6 and 7 at Tokyo Big Sight, using South Halls 1 through 4, with November 6 set as the business day and November 7 open to general visitors. The new jubeat cabinet gets a special exhibition match on November 7 from 11:30 to 12:30, with its players still undecided. The BEMANI livestream team moves in for a remote broadcast that morning from 09:40 to 11:10. Prize game TREASURE ROAD DX runs a mascot athletic meet in three slots across the two days, and Oreca Battle 2 brings 16 qualifiers from an in-game ranking event to the venue for semifinals and a final on November 7, carried on the official Oreca Battle YouTube channel. AMUSEMENT MUSIC FES 2026 fills the South Hall 4 stage on November 7 from 12:50 to 16:30, with AiMEE added to Konami Amusement's performer roster.
The Japan Amusement Industry Association, which runs the show, put the exhibitor count at a record 54 companies, more than last year, and published floor maps for South Halls 1 and 2 and South Halls 3 and 4. Doors open at 10:00 on November 6 for trade visitors and 9:00 on November 7 for the public, both closing at 17:00.
AMUSEMENT MUSIC FES 2026 is the organizer's own multi-publisher stage. Konami Amusement shares it with SEGA FAVE, Taito and companies from the Bandai Namco Group, and the format leans on voice actors, composers and artists associated with music games. Konami's own addition to that bill is AiMEE.
The Oreca Battle 2 stage on November 7, 14:00 to 14:45, is the competitive end of Konami's slate. Sixteen players who came through an in-game ranking event called Entry Fight play semifinals and a final at the venue, and the official OrekacTV YouTube channel carries the matches. MCs billed as Sunta, Arina, Dr. Ishikawa and Kureha are on the performer list. The jubeat exhibition match and the BEMANI remote broadcast both list their performers as undecided, which leaves two of Konami's four stage slots without announced talent.
