MUSIC HEROESSaturday, April 18, Osaka Prefecture

This is a free outdoor event organized by an artist I met in Hirakata, Osaka. Centered on singer-songwriters, you can enjoy music from a variety of genres. When lyrics that gently wrap around your heart and give you a little push come flowing in with the sound of acoustic instruments, you can’t help but feel a sense of warmth, right? MUSIC HEROES is a place where you can share a great time with fellow music lovers while experiencing that kind of musical emotion. There’s also a flea market, so feel free to drop by.

Kita Omi FREALY JAMMiN’ is a music festival held at the Shiga Prefectural Culture and Industry Exchange Center Event Hall. The live house B-FLAT in Shiga is involved in production, so the festival has a vibe very close to that of a live house. The tickets are reasonably priced, so why not start your festival experience here?
