According to announcements from corporate operator 株式会社ユニカ, the Shinjuku MOA Center Vision giant outdoor screen in Tokyo is dedicating the entire month of August to broadcasting a special historical opening theme song feature for the anime franchises The Prince of Tennis (Tennis no Ojisama) and The New Prince of Tennis (Shin Tennis no Ojisama).
The street-level exhibition runs daily from August 3, 2026, through August 31, 2026, transforming the bustling shopping district outside Shinjuku Station into a nostalgic hub for tennis anime fans. Located on the exterior wall of the Moa Center Building at 3-24-8 Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, the prominent media display broadcasts an exclusive six-minute compilation every hour at the top of the hour, running continuously between 7:00 AM and 25:00 JST.
Operator records indicate that the programming splits cleanly into two distinct fortnightly blocks, featuring a total of eight carefully curated opening sequences from across the television series, original video animations, and international tournament arcs.
First-Half Schedule and Featured Tracks: August 3 to August 16
The initial phase of the Shinjuku MOA Center Vision broadcast ran from Monday, August 3, 2026, through Sunday, August 16, 2026, establishing the foundational musical era of the long-running sports property. Four distinct tracks defined this opening fortnight, capturing both the original television run and early international tournament adaptations.
According to the programming schedule released by 株式会社ユニカ, the first-half lineup included:
- “future” by HIRO-X, representing the foundational era of The Prince of Tennis television anime.
- “Kakaeta Kiseki” (抱えたキセキ) by Aozu (青酢), marking another beloved early theme from the original series.
- “Mirai no Boku-ra e” (未来の僕らへ) by Norimasa Fujisawa (藤澤ノリマサ), stepping into The New Prince of Tennis era.
- “I can fly” by YOSHIKI EZAKI × Bleecker Chrome, capturing the high-stakes action of The New Prince of Tennis U-17 WORLD CUP.
Fans gathered near the pedestrian hub of the MOA 2nd Street shopping arcade to catch the hourly six-minute loops, where the large-scale LED display measures 4.50 meters wide by 3.75 meters high in a 16:9 aspect ratio. Audio accompaniment is active throughout the day, though operators mute the sound after 23:00 JST to comply with local noise ordinances.
Second-Half Lineup and Broadcast Details: August 17 to August 31
Transitioning into the second half of the month, the broadcast schedule shifts its focus to later series installments, starting Monday, August 17, 2026, and running through the final day of August.
The second-half roster features:
- “Driving Myself” by HIRO-X, returning the classic series energy to the Shinjuku streetscape.
- “Make You Free” by Kimeru, another iconic early opening theme from the original television broadcast.
- “Kakumei e no Prelude” (革命への前奏曲) by 跡部景吾 (Keigo Atobe), highlighting the character vocal singles central to the franchise’s music strategy, drawn from The New Prince of Tennis OVA vs Genius10.
