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.

A must-see for festival lovers! We’ve gathered rock festivals from all over Japan! The real charm of rock fests is wandering around and catching lots of different rock bands.

It’s a great chance to discover amazing new bands.

Let’s head to the fests and find tons of new connections!

ONE STEP LIVE is organized and run primarily by local university students, driven by the hope that it will serve as a catalyst—one of those moments in which, amid our changed daily lives, people can find dreams and make friends to share them with. The structure enables students to turn ideas into reality, connect with one another, and engage with local companies, broadening their future paths through these experiences. Students and businesses work together to energize the event. There are also thoughtfully designed activities that parents and children can enjoy casually, making it a family-friendly music festival we highly recommend.
