Japan's largest live house circuit "TOKYO CALLING 2017" performer entry starts!

Japan's largest live house circuit "TOKYO CALLING", which was decided to be held this year as well as last year, has started performing performer entries from today.

As with last year, this year's event will be held for three consecutive days, changing the venue from Shimokitazawa, Shinjuku, and Shibuya to Tokyo each day.
Everyone has a chance to appear, regardless of whether they are pro-am, age, or genre.

Entry is possible from the TOKYO CALLING 2017 HP.
The reception period is from today, February 15th (Wednesday) to May 15th (Monday).
The performers will be announced sequentially from April 7 (Friday).

It will be interesting to see what kind of artists will liven up the stage of TOKYO CALLING this year.

*What is “TOKYO CALLING”?

TOKYO CALLING, Japan's largest live house circuit event.
First held in September 2016 last year, the circuit event held 10 venues (*1) in Shimokitazawa on September 17th, Shinjuku on September 18th, and Shibuya on September 19th.
There were 312 groups of performing artists in 3 days, and 10,000 people were recorded even though it was held for the first time.

Tokyo is the center of Japan and the center of music, but in the rock world, the Kansai group is gaining momentum these days.
A major reason for this is the enrichment of circuit events and festivals, with individual eventers, live houses, event promoters, FM stations, and TV stations organically intertwining each event and festival, and a system that automatically grows the band. is made of.

However, since there are no circuit events comparable to them in Tokyo, the nation's leading circuit festivals such as Osaka "Unlimited Viewing", Nagoya "Dera Rock Festival", and Fukuoka "TENJIN ONTAQ" will gather together in Tokyo. , finally launched Japan's largest live circuit last year.

The purpose of this event is to combine the independent scenes of Shimokitazawa, Shinjuku, and Shibuya to create Japan's number one rock scene.

We would like to create this event together with all artists, music offices, and record companies, and create an environment where artists can continue to make music for the rest of their lives over the next 5 to 10 years.

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.
