J-WAVE to Host Live Broadcast of 'TOKIO HOT 100' at Shibuya's 'SAMURAI BLUE 3D EXPERIENCE'; Special Unit 'JI BLUE' (JO1/INI) Joins Collaborative Programming

Radio station J-WAVE (81.3FM) announced that it will conduct live broadcasts and coordinate programming with its terrestrial shows at the "Mitsui Fudosan SAMURAI BLUE 3D EXPERIENCE Presented by SAISON," an immersive support event held from May 29 (Fri) to July 20 (Mon/Holiday), 2026, at the entertainment facility "or" within MIYASHITA PARK.

"SAMURAI BLUE 3D EXPERIENCE" is a limited-time event where fans can experience the world of the Japan national soccer team (SAMURAI BLUE) ahead of the global soccer festival. Using XR (AR, MR, VR) and 3D-LED technology, it provides an immersive experience as if standing on the pitch alongside the players. Visitors can enjoy visual presentations, photo spots, and original food and drinks, experiencing the "best scenery" that SAMURAI BLUE aims for, directly from Shibuya.

As a radio station that continues to broadcast Tokyo's current status through music and culture, J-WAVE is participating in this event to amplify the excitement of supporting SAMURAI BLUE through music, talk, and local culture.
