A trio of films celebrating Eiichi Ohtaki and the 50th anniversary of Niagara Records is set to hit theaters across Japan on June 1 and 2.
The screenings—marking the June 10 home video release of Eiichi Ohtaki’s NIAGARA 50th Odyssey Live and Shigeru Suzuki Sings Eiichi Ohtaki Vol.9—will take place in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka, with audiences encouraged to cheer and applaud during the showings.
The headline live film captures the July 12, 2025 anniversary concert at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA, featuring appearances from Shigeru Suzuki, Taeko Ohnuki, Takaya Kawasaki, Night Tempo, Marina Watanabe, and Maki Nomiya. Longtime Niagara collaborator Akira Inoue handled sound production, with a special band performing classics including “Kimi wa Tennen Shoku,” “Shiawase na Ketsumatsu,” and “Koi Suru Karen.”
Also screening is “Shigeru Suzuki Sings Eiichi Ohtaki Vol.9”, documenting Suzuki’s July 13, 2025 show at Sakura Hall, with guest appearances by Ginji Ito and Masamichi Sugi, both closely tied to Ohtaki’s catalog.
Rounding out the program is the long-rumored Fussa 45 Studio Live 1976, a rare promotional film created around the release of Niagara Triangle Vol.1. Often referred to as the “Niagara Promotion Film,” the footage features performances by Ohtaki alongside Ginji Ito, Kunio Muramatsu, Hiroki Komazawa, Jiro Terao, Hiroshi Uehara, and a pre-YMO Ryuichi Sakamoto—making it a particularly notable archival screening.
Ahead of the screenings, footage of “Shiawase na Ketsumatsu” featuring Taeko Ohnuki, Maki Nomiya, Marina Watanabe, and Takaya Kawasaki has been released on Sony Music Entertainment’s official YouTube channel.
A special on-stage talk event is also planned for the Tokyo screenings, with details to be announced. Advance tickets are now available via eplus.
