Gojappe Music FestivalSunday, 11/16, Ibaraki Prefecture
Gojappe Music Festival is a circuit event held in Hitachinaka City, Ibaraki Prefecture. “Gojappe” is a dialect term from the northern Kanto region that roughly means “careless” or “slapdash,” and the idea is that on this day, people forget their everyday burdens and let themselves be gojappe to have fun.

Gulliver Live CircuitSun, 11/16, Tokyo
Six artist acts will perform live across six venues in five bars of the GULLIVER Group.

The event runs from 6:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., so you can relax and enjoy food, drinks, and music at your own pace.
