Pia Arena MM (ぴあアリーナMM) is a dedicated music arena[1] in Minatomirai, Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, operated by Pia Corporation. Before the official name was decided, it was tentatively called "Pia MM Arena".[2]
History
[edit]In July 2017, PIA, a ticket sales company, announced plans for a large-scale music arena with four floors and a seating capacity of 10,000 (when seated) in the 38th district of the Minato Mirai district (along Minato Mirai Boulevard). Construction by Sato Kogyo began in December of the same year[3] and was completed in March 2020.[4]
The opening performance was originally scheduled for April 25, 2020, by Yuzu from Yokohama as part of their national arena tour,[5] but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic (other artists' performances were similarly postponed or canceled due to the declaration of a state of emergency under the revised Law Concerning Special Measures).
The first audience-accessible performance was Ryo Nishikido's fan meeting (held on August 1 and 2 of the same year).[6]
In August 2022, the fan meeting of the Thai channel GMMTV[7] was held including some of its main artists such as Bright,[8] Win, Ohm, Nanon, Tay, New, Krist, Earth, Mix, Dew and Nani.[9] In November 2022, the arena hosted the professional debut of the two-time Olympic figure skating gold medalist Yuzuru Hanyu with the solo show Prologue.[10]
The arena has hosted many "solo live" concerts for Hololive Production VTubers, such as FBKingdom "ANTHEM" for Shirakami Fubuki in February 2025, followed by the "PERSONYA RESPECT" for Nekomata Okayu in May 2025.
