Snow Man's Ryota Miyadate to Expand Acclaimed Disney on Ice 'Special Act' to Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka

The world-renowned ice show “Disney on Ice” has announced that Ryota Miyadate, a member of the popular J-pop group Snow Man, will perform his highly anticipated “Special Act” in three major Japanese cities this year: Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. Following last year's rave reviews, the performance is returning on a significantly larger scale to meet passionate fan demand.

Expanding to Three Major Cities Due to Overwhelming Demand

Miyadate’s special act, which created a massive buzz during last year’s tour, is expanding its reach to Japan’s three major metropolitan areas. Social media has been flooded with ecstatic reactions from fans, with comments like, “Last year was so incredible, I have to go again!” and “Performing in three regions is amazing!” Fans are expressing both gratitude and high expectations for this expanded multi-city run.

Outstanding Physicality and Professionalism Featured on TV

On the morning of the announcement, a Japanese television program aired behind-the-scenes footage of Miyadate undergoing rigorous training in the United States. Taking on the “Sway Pole”—a highly challenging apparatus suspended five meters (about 16 feet) in the air—for the first time, Miyadate successfully maneuvered a flag after only a brief practice session. He demonstrated remarkable core strength and his natural flair as an entertainer, bringing smiles to the local staff in Florida. Fans online showered him with praise, commenting, “It’s amazing he could do that on his first try—as expected of Date-sama!” and “His core strength is unbelievable.”

Detailed Schedule to Be Announced on June 9

Driven by Miyadate’s desire to “bring smiles to as many people as possible,” this year’s Special Act is set to be a major highlight of the summer. The specific schedule for the designated performances will be revealed on June 9 at around 7:00 PM JST on the official Disney on Ice website and social media accounts. With fans already bracing for a fierce battle to secure tickets, anticipation is reaching a fever pitch for Miyadate’s elegant performance on ice.

The Context

Ryota Miyadate is a prominent member of Snow Man, one of Japan’s most successful and popular multi-member male idol groups, managed by STARTO ENTERTAINMENT. Miyadate, often affectionately called “Date-sama” by fans, is widely recognized for his refined, aristocratic stage persona, exceptional dance skills, and remarkable physical abilities. “Disney on Ice” enjoys immense popularity in Japan, and collaborations featuring top-tier J-pop idols performing special solo acts are highly unusual, making Miyadate’s crossover performance a massive cultural event for J-pop and Disney fans alike.
