Sakurazaka ASYLUMSunday, February 15, Okinawa Prefecture
Launched in 2007 under the concept that every form of expression—music, film, painting, and words—serves as our modern-day asylum (a temporary refuge), this event also embodies the desire to foster cultural and personal exchange and to enliven the Sakurazaka area. The venues are spread across 20 locations around Sakurazaka, with some offering free admission.

BLARE FESTSat 2/7–Sun 2/8, Aichi Prefecture
This festival started in 2010 as BLARE DOWN BARRIERS, a live event hosted by coldrain, and from 2020—its 10th year—it has been held as BLARE FEST. With a stellar lineup that festival lovers won’t be able to resist, a sellout seems inevitable. We recommend checking ticket information early. It’s the kind of festival where you’ll want to catch every second across all three stages, so if you’re coming from out of town, plan to stay overnight and make the most of it.
| Schedule | Saturday–Sunday, February 7–8, 2026 |
| place | Kinjo-futo 2-chome, Minato Ward, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture / Port Messe Nagoya |
