2021.12.23

Konica Minolta Planetaria TOKYO will start screening the original aroma-scented healing planetarium work “Cat Star Night-One Day Starry Sky Story-” from February 4, 2022.

Healing planetarium work with the aroma of Actinidia polygama

A healing planetarium work where you can experience a mysterious starry sky in the forest that you arrived at after being guided by a cat you met one day.
We will also introduce the Milky Way, which you can hardly see in the city, shooting stars that you rarely meet, constellations that are rarely introduced inconspicuously, and the phantom constellation “Felis” that is now gone.

The original aroma that is scented during the screening is the aroma called Nekomoriko, which is a mixture of Actinidia polygama. The other type is Nikukyukou, which has a gentle sweetness that resembles a paw paw.
Why don’t you enjoy a special starry sky together in a space with a charming scent?

Period: February 4, 2022 (Friday) ~
Time: About 45 minutes
Screening Hall: Planetaria TOKYO (Yurakucho) / Planetarium Manten (Ikebukuro) / Planetarium Sky (Oshiage)

Two popular voice actors appear in the voice.
Takahiro Sakurai will play “One Day Cat” that introduces the starry sky and constellations with free sensibility, and Yoshitsugu Matsuoka will be in charge of “narrative” as the guide of the story.
Experience a peaceful and mysterious night with a cat you met one day.
