São Paulo, June 18, 2026 – Renowned music producer Shota Nakama is confirmed for Brasil Game Show 2026. In addition to participating in the Opening Ceremony, exclusive panels, and interacting with fans during Meet and Greet sessions, he and the Video Game Orchestra (VGO) will perform at the expo on October 10, 11, and 12, playing some of the biggest hits from the gaming world rearranged with rock elements.
The return of VGO and the musician aligns with BGS's own current expansion. Consolidated as the epicenter of gaming culture in Latin America, the 2026 edition has grown: the event is strengthening its infrastructure to deliver more games, more booths from major brands, and a record number of gaming stations, allowing the public to spend more time playing and experiencing the international market's most anticipated releases.
“The Brazilian audience has a unique passion and energy," says Shota Nakama. "For 2026, we are preparing three incredible shows. We are bringing a production worthy of BGS so that the fans feel truly celebrated.”
The Okinawan-Japanese music producer has built an international career at the intersection of video games and live music. He founded the Video Game Orchestra in 2008 and has since toured the world performing his signature symphonic rock interpretations of music from acclaimed franchises such as Metal Gear Solid, Chrono Trigger, and many others.
