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.
