"YOASOBI KEEP OUT GALLERY PRODUCED BY VI/NYL" inspired by the building's low-rise concrete architecture and dynamic atrium space will be held for a limited time.

It was YOASOBI, celebrating their five-year anniversary this October, who swiftly drew attention to Ginza Sony Park during the construction before its grand opening. Their first-ever solo concert in 2021 called Keep Out Theater was streamed from the Milano-za construction site (now Tokyu Kabukicho Tower), drawing a massive response. The soon-to-be-held "YOASOBI KEEP OUT GALLERY PRODUCED BY VI/NYL" is a photo exhibition produced while sneaking in to Ginza Sony Park where a "construction site" still remains. This special program was born from the adventurous spirit of both YOASOBI and Ginza Sony Park, which kept part of its building open even before its grand opening.

In the exhibit space requiring advance registration to enter (first-come basis), you will immediately be able to see photos recently shot for the magazine "VI/NYL SUPER YOASOBI 5TH ANNIVERSARY BOOK" to be released on October 30 and special movies at locations scattered around the floor with exposed concrete architecture. The familiar YOASOBI sign from their concerts will also be installed in the dynamic above-ground atrium space that connects to Sukiyabashi Crossing.
