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.

Drawn in by the savory aromas of the food stalls and finding yourself captivated by the stage performances, the campus is filled with a special festival energy that excites not only students but everyone who visits.

One of the unique joys of school festivals is getting to enjoy the distinctive events and decorations that reflect each university’s character.

In this article, we’ll introduce the festival schedules at universities in Tokyo.

If any festival catches your eye, be sure to go check it out in person!
