Many legends from his hometown of Kobe to the whole country, such as holding a free live performance of 10,000 people with the aim of recovering from the earthquake, and serving as the big bird of the event for 12 consecutive years at Japan's largest music charity festival "COMIN' KOBE". Japan's oldest youth punk band "Gagaga SP".

In 2017, the 20th anniversary of the band's formation, it was announced during the one-man live held today that the legendary outdoor festival "Nagata Dai Koshinkyoku", which attracted more than 10,000 people in Kobe, will be held for the first time in about six years.
"Nagata Daikoshinkyoku" from their beloved hometown of Kobe, together with allies who lead the Japanese band scene together, will transmit the "power of music" and the "charm of live performance" that boasts overwhelming heat. An outdoor festival that started to go.

At the same time, they also announced that they would be traveling to 11 cities around the country to commemorate their 20th anniversary as an "coming-of-age ceremony" for the band, saying, "I turned 20! What the heck!"
The pair of bands will feature the bands that have made the band scene lively, such as "Kariyushi 58", "STANCE PUNKS", and "KNOCK OUT MONKEY".
Other bands will be announced one after another.

In addition, the "Nagata Daishokudo" will open for two days only in "FM802 RADIO CRAZY", which has become a feature of the Kansai rock scene at the end of the year.
Gagaga SP drum "Satoshi Tajima" has a cooking license, and he has a unique career such as producing the izakaya "Oni Miso Tajimaya".
It is said that they will devised and offer a series of B-grade gourmet "Bokkake!!!", a local specialty of Nagata.
While the store is open, Gagaga SP members are also planning to stand in the store as guerrillas.

Please pay attention to the opening of the 20th anniversary year of the formation of Gagaga SP, which is too exciting.

<Gagaga SP singer Kozak Maeda comment>
Even if a 37-year-old commoner looks back on his life, there will be no good things.
Over the past few years, I managed to do this with the help of the members, the band members around me, the staff, and the company I belong to.
“It is reasonable to quit a punk band after about 5 years.The rest is empty.”
I don't know how many people have told me that, but after all, I've been doing it for 20 years.
Since I started this band when I was 18, I have spent more than half of my life on Gagaga SP.
I don't know the answer, and I don't think there is a correct answer.
But surely Gagaga SP is still active.
There have been hiatuses and member changes, but we're still doing it.
But what are you doing? I don't know if I can say it clearly.
But do you still want to walk the path of thorns in your late thirties? ? I don't know myself.
But the feeling of doing Gagaga SP is like a sparkler's fire, and my fire hasn't been extinguished yet.
A long time ago, I remember something that was said to me by a senior in the band
“Is there really such a thing as talent and sense? I think those who continue to do it are doing it with 'power' and 'stubbornness'."
I think now It really could be.
If so, I would like to show you the culmination of these 20 years.
While sick, causing trouble to people, and sometimes with that kind of shitty music, I might have saved people even a little.
Gagaga SP turns 20. I have just grown up.
I want you to see the coming-of-age ceremony. A fucking coming-of-age ceremony.
