Music Festival Master / Editor-in-ChiefHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC and in charge of music festivals. When I attended my first music festival as a freshman in college, I was captivated by its charm—“I can’t believe there’s a place this free and this fun.” I share information about wonderful music festivals every day to help grow the community of festival fans.

We’d like to introduce music festivals in the Koshinetsu region that focus on rock.

While Fuji Rock, arguably Japan’s most famous festival, takes place in the Hokuriku region, there are also other rock festivals recommended for fans of Japanese rock.
