The “Hyouka TV Anime 10th Anniversary Film Concert ~Kamiyama High’s Small Recital~” event will be held at the Japan Pavilion Hall A of the Tokorozawa Sakura Town venue in Saitama Prefecture on January 29, 2023, with a daytime performance at 1:45 pm and an evening performance at 5:30 pm. Kohei Tanaka will be playing the piano at the event alongside the Kamiyama High Ensemble. 

Kyoto Animation’s Hyouka adapted the novels of the same name by Honobu Yonezawa and aired from April 22, 2012, to September 16, 2012, with the late Yasuhiro Takemoto helming the series as director. Crunchyroll is streaming the series both subbed and dubbed, describing it as such:

A worthy addition to any animation fan’s collection, Hyouka is a stunning masterwork that spins a charming tale of high school romance and mystery. After disenchanted student Hotaro Oreki joins his school’s Classic Lit Club, he meets Eru Chitanda, a kindhearted and inquisitive girl with boundless curiosity and a knack for getting him caught up in all sorts of trouble.
