Message from Yoshito Hori
Next year marks our commemorative 5th anniversary. While we've taken on new challenges every year, next year we've boldly decided to hold the festival for four consecutive days in August. Upon checking, this appears to be a first for a majorsummer festival in Japan. Next year, we'll further power up as a theme park-style festival by increasing musical crossovers, Lucky Monster art, and food variety. We've grown our audience from 20,000 to 40,000, 60,000, and 80,000, and next year we're finally aiming for 100,000.
