Past events

University Festival | Osaka Sangyo UniversityNov 1 (Sat) – 2 (Sun), Osaka Prefecture

At the Osaka Sangyo University campus festival, it seems they’re planning not only music and comedy live shows but also a full-fledged professional wrestling event. Since there aren’t many chances to see real pro wrestling, it sounds like a very exciting event. Moreover, this year they’re organizing Gakusai Houdai, a collaborative project with the circuit festival Miho-dai (Mihoudai)/Mihoudai (Mihoudai) [“Mihoudai” literally means “all-you-can-see”], making it a campus festival that band lovers won’t want to miss.

Driftwood Festival | Kyoto Prefectural UniversityNov 1 (Sat) – 2 (Sun), Kyoto Prefecture

Given its location right next to Shimogamo Shrine, the content focuses on Kyoto’s specialties, and the “Aji Meguri” event in particular is noteworthy. It also seems that they place importance on the “work process” from launching the executive committee to the main event. Watching the students grow through the production process is another highlight.
