Kansai TV presents an exciting line up of live events and performing arts. Over the years, Kansai TV has produced, organized and promoted large scale events and performing arts to cater for all audiences.
Kansai TV has organized ten Japan tours of the dynamic dance entertainment shows “Burn the Floor” and “Floorplay”, to a total audience of near 500,000!
Kansai TV also supports and sponsors the classic and traditional arts. We have organized Japan tours of the Paris Opera, Teatro San Carlo of Napoli and Teatro Verdi Trieste, and the "Osaka Heisei Nakamura-za" with star Kabuki actor Nakamura Kanzaburo in an Edo period Kabuki theatre.
We also hold the hugely popular Cirque du Soleil performances in Osaka, and recently held the immensely successful "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs" exhibition in Osaka.
Kansai TV continues to bring you the best in live entertainment!
Special Exhibition INSECTS
July 12 (Sat) – September 23 (Tue) 2025
Welcome to the maniacal world of insects!
Insects are the largest group of organisms, comprising about one million species, more than half of all the species reported on earth.
Although most of them are tiny creatures, less than 1 cm in length, they are remarkably diverse and varied in terms of body structure, behavior, and abilities.
There are countless insects in the world that have yet to be discovered, and even in our immediate environment lie new species and discoveries of the future.
This exhibition will weave together the maniacal perspectives of researchers at the National Museum of Nature and Science, maniacal insect specimens from researchers' selections, and the latest insect research to explore the surprising and as yet unseen world of diversity of “bugs”* including not only familiar insects such as beetles and stag beetles but also spiders, centipedes, and other insects.
*In this exhibition, insects, and terrestrial arthropods, including insects, are treated as "bugs.”
