Using the latest model development and streaming technologies,
virtual artists are able to maximize
their own performance technique and musical expression,
regardless of their appearance, gender, nationality, age, education, or awards.
They are a breath of fresh air in the world of classical music.

We want to bring virtual artists into the world of classical music,
nurture them to become beloved figures,
and create opportunities for people of all ages to attend classical music concerts.
We would also like to provide those who
have great performance skills
yet haven't had the chance to win awards or perform
with a new opportunity to thrive as virtual artists.
This project, “ポルタメタ -portameta-”, was launched with this in mind.

“ポルタメタ -portameta-” is a word combining the musical term
“portamento” and “meta” meaning of “high dimension”.
We hope that people who have never been to a music concert
will gradually become fans of classical music
just as musical notes blend seamlessly in a "portamento".

The synergy between virtual reality
and an orchestra has been on my wish list for a long time!
In the summer of 2023,
I just premiered Madame Butterfly at Cincinnati Opera based on
the concept of the world of VR.
Therefore, I am extremely eager to see my musical family,
the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra,
present the marriage of VR and orchestra on the concert stage in Japan.
There has never been anything like this before and it is extremely innovative.
This project, KADOKAWA+Tokyo Symphony Orchestra,
will open up a new era in music history.
It is my strong belief that this will result in
new enthusiasts for the concert series of the symphony orchestra.
Here is your chance to be part of another chapter in classical music history.
I'm looking forward to your entry!
