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.

SOCIAL TOWER MARKET is held in the park with the TV Tower located right in the heart of Nagoya. Because the park is scheduled for renovation, 2018 will be the final year of the event. Admission is free, and in addition to live performances by various artists, a wide variety of vendors will set up shop, from delicious food and secondhand bookstores to clothing brands. With so many high-quality stores gathered in one place, why not come by—even from outside the prefecture—and enjoy a day of shopping?
