On October 22, 2025, a company anniversary celebration was held in the main building of Kobe Portopia Hotel, in the elegant Ōwada banquet hall. Among the hotel’s many distinguished venues, Ōwada is especially popular for its stately interior design and soaring ceilings, making it a favored choice for corporate receptions and formal ceremonies. Under warm red-and-gold lighting that gracefully enveloped the room, BanMusic Artist Agency presented the accordion duo “461 Montblanc,” delivering a live performance reminiscent of a scene from a French film.
Roaming-style accordion performance
The performers adopted a roaming style for this event, using wireless microphones to move freely throughout the venue. As shown in the photos, the duo—wearing a striking combination of a vivid blue dress and a classic black hat—performed while walking among the guests, creating an engaging and intimate live atmosphere.
Strolling gracefully between the tables during the reception, the warm, expressive tones of the accordion blended beautifully with the festive ambience. The performance brought the musicians even closer to the guests, and smiles could be seen throughout the hall as the music added charm and elegance to the evening.
The setlist featured a selection of classic French-inspired pieces such as “Sous le Ciel de Paris,” “Les Champs-Élysées,” “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg,” and “Poupée de cire, poupée de son,” creating a richly Parisian mood throughout the performance. To appeal to guests across all generations, the duo also included well-loved songs like “Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta nara” and “Top of the World.” The result was a versatile and enjoyable program that perfectly complemented the atmosphere of an upscale hotel celebration—warm, elegant, and memorable for such an important anniversary occasion.
