Sonic the Hedgehog will race across the exterior of Tokyo Big Sight’s Conference Tower on Saturday, November 14, in a special projection-mapping presentation celebrating his 35th anniversary. The display is part of PMA TOKYO Vol.11, a free nighttime event also celebrating Puyo Puyo’s 35th anniversary and Tokyo Big Sight’s 30th year.
The organizers have prepared three special anniversary presentations for the venue’s newly upgraded projection system. Sonic leads the lineup with a dedicated 35th-anniversary video projected onto the building’s distinctive inverted-pyramid exterior, which measures 94 metres wide and 30 metres tall.
Puyo Puyo is getting two presentations of its own: a 35th-anniversary display featuring familiar characters, followed by a third segment called “Puyojection Mapping,” which will bring enormous Puyo chains to the tower.
SEGA’s Puyo Puyo series producer Mizuki Hosoyamada and professional player Piponia are also scheduled to appear as part of the special program.
The Sonic and Puyo Puyo celebrations are part of a larger evening dedicated to projection-mapping art. 27 finalist teams from Japan and overseas will have their works screened on the Conference Tower, with this year’s competition built around the theme “ReBORN.” The event also marks the public debut of Tokyo Big Sight’s updated projection equipment.
PMA TOKYO Vol.11 takes place on November 14, with doors opening at 4:30 PM JST and the program running from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM JST. The venue is the plaza in front of Tokyo Big Sight’s Conference Tower in Ariake, Tokyo. Admission is completely free, and no reservation is required.
For anyone planning to attend, Tokyo Big Sight is approximately a three-minute walk from Tokyo Big Sight Station on the Yurikamome Line, or seven minutes from Kokusai-tenjijo Station on the Rinkai Line.
The organizers haven’t announced individual screening times for the Sonic and Puyo Puyo presentations, and there are currently no plans for an online livestream. Weather may also affect the schedule, so visitors should check the official PMA TOKYO website before heading out.
