Editor-in-Chief, RAG MUSICHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

One of the charms of school festivals is how easily you can enjoy an extraordinary atmosphere—strolling through lively food stalls and taking in stage performances.

The Kansai area is dotted with distinctive universities, each hosting festivals with a unique campus vibe.

There are many programs and exhibits that showcase students’ individuality, offering new discoveries every time you visit.

In this article, we present a list of schedules for university festivals held in Kansai.
