The countdown to Jujutsu Kaisen in Concert has officially begun, with only weeks left before the acclaimed anime’s music takes the stage in Manila on November 28–29, 2026, at Newport Performing Arts Theater.

Adding to the excitement, Film Concerts Philippines announces Sofia Abrogar, lead vocalist of Filipino alternative pop band Any Name’s Okay, who will take the stage as the concert’s featured vocalist. Known for her expressive vocal style, which blends classical influences with contemporary energy, Abrogar brings her own interpretation and stage presence to the live concert experience.

Produced by GEA Live and RoadCo Entertainment, in partnership with TOHO Co., Ltd., the concert will be led by Music Director Emily Marshall, a conductor, keyboardist, and music director whose experience spans Broadway productions and international concert tours featuring anime and film soundtracks, including Naruto, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Demon Slayer, among others.

For the Manila engagement, Marshall will lead a specially curated 11-piece ensemble from the Filharmonika Orchestra, bringing together classical and contemporary instruments to perform the music live in synchronization with the anime. The program spans music from all three seasons of Jujutsu Kaisen, taking audiences through some of the series’ most memorable battles, encounters, and emotional turning points. It will also feature a special Season 3 encore created exclusively for the international tour.

THE STORY BEHIND THE SOUND

The anime’s soundtrack draws inspiration from an unexpected mix of influences. Series creator Gege Akutami took inspiration from artists such as Billie Eilish, while director Sunghoo Park envisioned incorporating hip-hop and rock into the anime’s sound.

This distinctive sound was brought to life by three Japanese composers: Hiroaki Tsutsumi, Yoshimasa Terui, and Alisa Okehazama, each contributing their own musical approach to the series’ dynamic blend of rock, electronic, and orchestral arrangements. For Season 1, the composers were assigned different characters, allowing their compositions to reflect their personalities and stories. Tsutsumi worked on themes associated with Yuji Itadori and Aoi Todo, Terui with Megumi Fushiguro and Kento Nanami, and Okehazama with Nobara Kugisaki and Satoru Gojo.

The series also draws inspiration from traditional Japanese folklore, particularly the supernatural creatures and spirits known as yokai. Reimagined through the concept of cursed energy, these entities emerge from negative human emotions, transforming everyday fears and anxieties into formidable threats.

Its horror influences extend beyond folklore. Akutami has cited films such as Get Out and Hereditary as the inspirations behind the series’ unsettling atmosphere and psychological tension.

BRINGING THE WORLD OF CURSES TO THE BIG SCREEN

The world of curses comes to life with the support of the official projector sponsor, Panasonic. The production features Panasonic’s PT-RQ45K 3-Chip DLP Laser Projector, engineered for large-scale live entertainment and cinematic projection.
