Gagaga SP, Japan's number one free music festival "COMIN' KOBE" decorates the big bird for 11 consecutive years.

Kobe's band Gagaga SP, which celebrated its 18th anniversary this year, will hold Japan's number one free music festival again this year.
This is the 11th year in a row since the event started.

Gagaga SP Kozak Maeda, who is the big bird of the 11th year, on the stage before starting the live,
"No matter what kind of live we do, this year's Coming Kobe will end.
If it's going to end anyway, I want to say goodbye and win. ”, he said strongly about his enthusiasm for the live.

And the live starts with the famous song "Graduation"!
Then, with the words "I'm still in the preparation stage", I proceeded to "preparing for the festival".

Kozak Maeda took a deep breath and said...
“What I am proud of is that I have lived in Kobe for 36 years, never leaving, never going to Tokyo.
And I have been in charge of COMIN' KOBE, which started in Kobe, for 10 years.
There was a time when I thought that this position should be handed over to a younger band. I still have that feeling.
On the contrary, I also want to defend this position to the death! Because it's Kobe. "and.
And as soon as they played "National Route 2", the venue was even more exciting!

Next, the MC of "Let me pull the rope of your life a little!" to "Tug of War Empire".

"I'm going to live until I die! Isn't that the final goal of life!?"
He also left the stage with the famous song "Late Autumn".
However, the applause did not stop and the members reappeared on the stage.

Kozak Maeda said, "Natural disasters and man-made disasters are different. Man-made disasters may be somehow prevented, but natural disasters are impossible.
It can not be helped. But even though there's nothing I can do about it, I've got to get over it and live on!
I will continue to sing about life with a radius of 5 meters! Look at each person's face and sing. ' said.

Then, they played the real last song "Senkohanabi".
"My fire hasn't been extinguished yet!"

Kozak Maeda called the organizer, Yutaka Matsubara, onto the stage.
Matsubara call in the venue as soon as I called!
Appearing on stage, Matsubara
"I was seriously thinking that it would not be possible to hold it, but thank you very much everyone!
thank you very much. '' he said in a strained voice.

With those words, the curtain closed for this year's ``COMIN' KOBE''. .


COMIN'KOBE'15 ~ 20 years since the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. Repayment from Kobe! ~
This festival will be held for the 11th time this year, and is a large-scale event with more than 40,000 visitors and more than 130 performing artists.
It is one of Japan's leading festivals that is loved by many people, with the greatest theme of telling the story of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake without forgetting it, providing support to the affected areas as a return of kindness from Kobe, and conveying the charm of Kobe.

However, this year, the venue of Kobe Shukugawa Gakuin University, which provided the venue every year, could not be used due to various problems, and it was not possible to cover the usage fee of other venues.
In the midst of this, we managed to reach the target amount just before the event by recruiting collaborators through crowdfunding, and managed to hold the event with great success.

Mr. Matsubara, the organizer, after the event
“We were afraid that the event would be held due to a shortage of operating expenses, but thanks to the support of everyone through crowdfunding, we were able to make it happen. Since this is the milestone of the year, I really wanted to hold it, and I received the cooperation of many people.I hope that Kobe will continue to give back and this miracle will not end."

20 years after the earthquake. Coming Kobe and Gagaga SP will continue to progress.

Chiba Hana farewell party information

Dear Fans

I am sorry to have surprised you with this report. I, Chiba Hana, was diagnosed with breast cancer in July 2012 and underwent surgery. I didn't have any chemotherapy treatment so I was able to recover quickly and go back to work. However, one year later, in September 2013, a recurrence from the same location was discovered. It was about a month before the 10th anniversary concert, and I was at a loss as to whether or not to cancel the live, but this time I decided to treat myself with oriental medicine. I was able to finish it safely. After that, I thoroughly performed diet therapy and Chinese medicine, but my physical strength gradually declined, and in June 2014, I decided to undergo another surgery. After the operation, I returned to my parents' house and was recuperating at home, but my condition worsened. When I went to a local hospital in November 2014, I was told that there was no other treatment that would cure me. . Since the beginning of 2015, oxygen masks have become indispensable, and I am no longer able to go out in a wheelchair, and I am no longer able to eat. At this point, I realize that I have less than a month left to live. In the midst of this, my partner Yomo, my manager and best friend Nanako Koyama, and my friends and local colleagues, Grava, also came from Tokyo, and my heart was lifted. I don't tell most people about my illness. So it may be a lot of people who were water in the middle of the day. I really wanted to heal. I have always hoped that I could write a book about my experiences and encourage others who are suffering from similar illnesses. But I don't want to write a sad book, so I will give up. People are funny. I realized that I could understand that I was dying. After that enlightenment, my mood cleared and I felt very comfortable. Originally, I didn't think of people dying as sad. Rather, I lived with the feeling that it was a happy thing like graduation. So there was no fear of death at all, and there was no pain. I may have made you feel lonely for those who supported me. But I am very excited now. Because I feel like I can become one with you. Even though my body is gone, I still exist. So don't be sad. And I would be happy if you could listen to Womou and Ohana's songs, as well as Womou's new activity "THE BOCOS". Thank you so much to everyone who has listened to Yomo to Hana so far, to everyone who has supported us, and to everyone who has come to our live. I can't do a live, but I believe I can meet you again.

March 21, 2015
Hana Chiba
----------------------------

One day, when I went to visit my parents in Toyama as usual, Hana in bed handed me a letter with a smile. I thought that there was still a chance that this letter would not be published, so I didn't show it to Ichikawa for a while. By this time, the three of us were talking lively about the farewell party, as if we were having a live meeting, and each time, Hana kept telling us, "Have a cheerful and fun time." I was saying it repeatedly.

In order to meet Hana's expectations as much as possible, we decided to hold a farewell party at the Church of Memories of Wool and Hana. I would appreciate it if you could read this letter and send it off with a smile on your face.

[Obituary] Wool and story

Hana Chiba, the vocalist of "Wool and Flower" passed away at 2:00 pm on April 8th.
In the summer of 2012, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and had an early detection. I was allowed to. However, from around the spring of 2014, my physical strength became severe and I had to undergo long-term medical treatment. Earlier this year, a doctor told his family that he did not have much time to live, and I heard that he spent his last days happily with his husband and parents in his hometown of Toyama.

Due to the wishes of the person himself and his family, we have refrained from reporting his medical condition to everyone, and we have caused you to worry.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the fans who loved the singing voice of the deceased and to everyone involved.
In addition, according to the will of the deceased, the funeral was held only by close relatives.

yomo2013_4_s

■ Comment from Kazunori Ichikawa (Wool and Flower)
We talked about the announcement many times, but since Womo to Ohana's music is positive and bright music, we didn't want fans to have the image of being sick when they listened to it. Therefore, I have to apologize for shocking many people by not revealing the name and condition of my illness to most of my close musicians, staff, friends, and others. Even when he was fighting his illness, he was the kind of person who always thought about how wool and flower music could spread, so I think listening to Hana-san's song would be the best way to mourn him.

Nanako Koyama (Representative of Lucy Kay Co., Ltd., affiliated office)
Chiba Hana departed while listening to the music of Wool and Hana, as if to see everyone's feelings on the day of Wool and Hana, which was made to support Hana. I continued to fight the disease, but I have no words for such a sudden event. I think it was the final expression of gratitude that only she could have given to her fans, who cares more than anyone else. "Even if my body is gone, I can be closer to everyone, so don't be sad." I want to continue to inherit her strength.

The head prison club joins the legendary girl band "Nandedo Shite" in a miracle! New single details revealed!

Sakamuke of Nande Doshite in Sapporo is appointed as the manager of the Head Prison Club.
Moreover, it is an incomprehensible situation that he also serves as a VJ and also stands on the stage.

Nanday Do City is from Sapporo! It's everyone's song-based punk that destroys the illusion of "girl band = cute".
"why? Why? ”, and especially the overwhelming character of Sakamuke, who is in charge of the vibes, is attracting attention in various places.

When it comes to Utakubi Gokumon Doukoukai's live performances, the images on the screens and displays produced by the VJs make the live even more exciting.
There is no doubt that the live performance of beheading with Sakamuke appointed as VJ will be an outrageous development.
The debut live will be held on 4/4 (Sat.) at Sangenjaya Heaven's Door, so don't miss out on what kind of live the new Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai will perform!

What is Sankt Gallen
Since 1993, before the ban on craft beer was lifted in Japan, the original craft beer shop brewed beer in San Francisco in the United States, imported it back to Japan, and sold it.
It has won numerous awards at contests around the world, including the World Beer Awards and the International Beer Cup.
The origin of the name is "Switzerland St. Gallen Abbey", which was the first in the world to obtain a brewing license.

What is Udagawa Cafe?
Inside the center city. The original night cafe will celebrate its 15th anniversary in August this year. With the theme of dark, low and soft, the façade of the lounge bar seen at SOHO in NY is mixed with the loose taste of southern Asia for the interior. Udagawa Blend Coffee is a darker than anywhere else, but it is a refreshing blend. It has a wide variety of food and drinks, and is open until 5:00 in the morning, making it popular as a convenient café.

It's a 3-man tour that can't be danced.
It's good to dance with your whole body and dance with your heart.
Dance as you please.
