The Weeknd Tour Runs Evangelion Visual by Yoko Taro and Yoko Takahashi
Yoko Taro's first public Evangelion work lands while he is writing the new Evangelion series announced at the 30th anniversary festival, so the tour clip reads as a preview of the crossover the franchise is already building.

The Weeknd's After Hours Til Dawn Tour presented a visual piece produced by NieR:Automata director Yoko Taro and singer Yoko Takahashi. It ran during the September 19 show at Saitama's Belluna Dome and uses clips from Neon Genesis Evangelion, samples of Takahashi's "A Cruel Angel's Thesis," and Evangelion-style imagery. Cast and staff shared photos and video afterward.
The September 19 concert at the Belluna Dome was the first night of the Asia leg. The video credits read "Presented by YOKO TARO ft. YOKO TAKAHASHI," and The Weeknd's own account posted the clip once it streamed online.
The presentation follows an earlier stage film on the same tour: a "RIO" collaboration directed by Takashi Miike, shown at the April 26 stop in Rio de Janeiro. The tour stays at the Belluna Dome on September 20, then moves to the Jakarta International Stadium on September 26 and 27, with dates in Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Malaysia through November 5.
