What we want to convey through the renewal of Dolphin & Sea Lion Ocean Live

This renewal of the Dolphin and Sea Lion Ocean Live is the first large-scale undertaking since the aquarium opened, and it has become an important opportunity to reconsider the Dolphin and Sea Lion Ocean Live performances that we have built up over the years. We redesigned the performance, starting from how we interact with the creatures and how we can help visitors gain a deeper understanding of their charm and unique characteristics. The new Dolphin and Sea Lion Ocean Live has evolved to make use of the innate abilities of the creatures and the relationships we have cultivated over the years. We hope that through the performance, visitors will be able to feel the profound charm and incredible capabilities of the creatures.

First performance of synchronized "twin jump" by dolphins and sea lions

The strength of Dolphin & Sea Lion Ocean Live, which has captivated many visitors since its opening, is the realism of being able to experience up close the dynamic performances of the bottlenose dolphins and the comical antics of the California sea lions.Another attraction is the sense of unity that arises from the animals' high physical abilities and the trusting relationship with the trainers.

In this renewal, we have refined these strengths and reconstructed the Dolphin and Sea Lion Ocean Live as a "story of encounters." Rather than simply a series of performances, the show has evolved into a structure in which encounters between the animals, trainers, and audiences progress as a single story.

Experience the California sea lion performance up close

The new Dolphin and Sea Lion Ocean Live begins with a sea lion segment. A California sea lion makes a solo appearance, making a powerful impression as the show begins. In addition to a variety of performances such as handstands and spins, the show also incorporates communication with the audience, showcasing the adorableness and impressive physical abilities of the animals under the theme of encounters and interactions. Don't miss the close-up performance and the immersive footage captured on live cameras.

◆From the powerful dolphin part to the climax

The next dolphin performance will liven up the venue with their impressive jumps and splashing water on the audience. The performance will be close to the audience, allowing you to experience the strength and grace of the bottlenose dolphins up close.

　The climax of the show is a joint performance by bottlenose dolphins and California sea lions. Through applause and other actions, the audience joins in the Dolphin and Sea Lion Ocean Live, and as the venue becomes one, the animals perform a "twin jump" in which they jump in unison. This condensed compilation of highlights highlights the individuality and relationships of the creatures.

A large screen will be installed to enhance the appeal of the Dolphin and Sea Lion Ocean Live.

As part of this renovation, a new large screen measuring 5 meters in height and 9 meters in width has been installed in front of the Ocean Theater, evolving the Dolphin and Sea Lion Ocean Live. Images linked to the movements of the creatures are projected, and the visuals depicting the underwater world and the narrative production convey the appeal of the performance in a richer way.

Furthermore, live cameras in various locations throughout the venue and action cameras held by the trainers are projected in real time, sharing movements and expressions from angles that are difficult for the audience to see. Projecting the audience's reactions also heightens the sense of unity throughout the venue. The giant screen is not just an auxiliary device, but functions as "another stage" that blends in with the performance. The overlapping of the performance and the video creates depth in the Dolphin and Sea Lion Ocean Live, allowing each visitor to experience the atmosphere of the venue.

Please enjoy the new Dolphin and Sea Lion Ocean Live!
