The tour was held in August 2026 in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Fukuoka to mark the orchestra's 100th anniversary and the 30th anniversary of the Pokemon series. The premiere uses the Tokyo performance from August 21 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre. October 5 is the NHK Symphony Orchestra's founding anniversary. The program opened with \"Opening\" from Pokemon Red and Green, followed by classical works tied to the Grass, Water, and Fire starter types: Grieg's \"Morning\" from Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Smetana's symphonic poem \"The Moldau,\" and Stravinsky's \"Lullaby\" to \"Finale\" from The Firebird. The second half arranged music from 1996's Pokemon Red and Green through Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and included the main theme of the new entry Pokemon Wind and Wave.
