Dinosaur Grand Night Parade?

A miraculous collaboration between
Tokyo National Museum and DINO-A-LIVE?!

"Hyakki Yagyo (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons)"

The tulip tree family consists of primitive angiosperms, with fossils found in strata from the Mesozoic Cretaceous period, coexisting with dinosaurs on Earth.
In the "Dinosaur Grand Night Parade", the Tulip Tree Fairy summons the dinosaurs from the land of the dead.
The dinosaurs appear one after another, passing right in front of us humans.

We have received a tremendous response to this "Dinosaur Grand Night Parade" since it was announced, and tickets for the two days at the Tokyo National Museum were sold out within minutes of going on sale, which is an unprecedented situation even for our staff. We have also received many requests from customers to "have additional performances" and "live streaming".
Due to schedule restrictions, it is difficult to hold additional performances this time, but live streaming is possible, so we have decided to stream the show for a fee on TwitCasting.
