This event, held as a student-only, free, lottery-invitation affair, is a music festival hosted by TOKYO FM and ZOZO, which operates fashion e-commerce sites. It was conceived to support students by giving them the chance to experience various events and concerts they missed due to cancellations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The lineup is also noteworthy, featuring both artists popular with younger generations and a star-studded roster that has led the music scene. The beauty of live shows is that the experiences you gain from encountering real music will add color to your life going forward.
