Shimokitazawa SOUND CRUISINGSaturday, May 23, Tokyo Metropolis
This event takes place across multiple venues, such as live houses in Shimokitazawa. Its concept is a “party”—more specifically, it’s organized with the idea of “not a scaled-down version of a festival that draws tens of thousands, but an interesting party × number of venues.” There’s no way an event with such a fresh concept wouldn’t be a blast.
