The legendary event 'Super Aquarium Night', which concluded its regular run last summer, is returning after a one-year break!

This edition will unveil the behind-the-scenes process of creating 'The Nationwide Aquarium Guide', a project Hajime Nakamura has been dedicated to for the past 20 years. What are the 'real changes' he has observed in modern aquariums during his nationwide field research for the latest revised edition?

From the author's sharp perspective, exclusive behind-the-scenes stories—too intense or constrained by page limits and 'adult circumstances' to include in the book—will be revealed in full force.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to experience the passionate and razor-sharp 'Nakamura Style' from the best seats in the house!
