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.

Osaka's violence punk band "Secret meeting and tinnitus", 2nd mini album "Kachisen" jacket photo & recorded songs released!

Violence punk band Mikai and Tinnitus from Osaka announced the jacket photo and recorded songs of the 2nd mini album "Kachisen" released on May 17th. In this work, with the theme of "winning", they are attacking with a variety of songs.

The lead song "Hand-to-hand battle" recorded in the first song is a song written to support the training project that the girls are doing with the release from January to May this year.
In addition, "I want to enter the office" is a strong feeling that has been voluntarily engaged in band activities for five years.
And in "Tequila", which depicts a mature and desperate woman, she tries a shuffle rhythm that has never existed before, so this is also a must-listen!
All of the songs on the album are made with a lot of competition, so it's a work that can be said to be a "winning battle", so please check it out.
And since "training" still remains, we can't take our eyes off their future movements.

Last year, over 25,000 people attended the largest free outdoor rock festival in the Tokai region, FREEDOM NAGOYA, which will be held again this year!

Freedom NAGOYA, the largest free outdoor rock festival in the Tokai region, attracted more than 25,000 people last year.
It has been decided that it will be held again this year.

FREEDOM NAGOYA wants many people to know the wonderfulness of music and the fun of live performances! With that in mind, the first open-air rock festival held in Nagoya in 2010 with free admission was moved to Odaka Ryokuchi in 2011. Will be held.

The number of visitors, which was 2,000 at the beginning of the event, has increased over time, reaching a record high of 25,000 last year.

In addition, in proportion to the increase in the number of visitors, the increase in operating expenses has also become remarkable. The event was a great success with 706 people and 5.5 million yen in support. And this year, we will be looking for collaborators through crowdfunding to make the event even more successful.

I want to cooperate to hold FREEDOM NAGOYA in a better environment! If you are a volunteer, please join the crowdfunding.

Project information is as follows
