Demae Oncho Fes ~4th Street~ Thank You

Demae Oncho Fes, which started in 2020 with live streams from home, finally jumped outdoors for its 4th installment, marking our first event with a live audience.

It was a huge, huge, huge success!!!

With a high of 32°C, it was a truly hot day in every sense of the word! (lol)

Sabo Ningyo, who captivated the audience with a one-of-a-kind worldview that made the venue feel like it was already at the finale from the very start.

Mebae-chan, a charismatic performer who makes everything look cool, from stopping songs midway to breaking strings.

Aki Ichiko-san, whose singing voice, which seemed to pierce through to the sky, grabbed our hearts in an instant.

Chihiro Ichihara-chan, whose transparent singing voice enters the heart so smoothly, leaving us feeling sparkly and excited.

Yuya Watanabe-san, who has an excellent gap between his humor-filled MCs that make us laugh and his performances that make us cry.

Ryoko-chan, who wraps the venue in a heartwarming singing voice that makes you feel a tight, bittersweet ache and sometimes gives you a push when you need it.

Yusuke Kesamaru-san, whose refreshingly resonant singing voice naturally brings smiles and gentle feelings to everyone.

Mikihito-san, the model of a support musician who is always there for us, thinking of and doing so many things, from planning to performing collaborations with every single act.

TIGHT ROPE-san, who delivered the sound that serves as the backbone of the festival with absolute reliability.

All the staff members who worked quickly from early in the morning and supported us with wonderful attentiveness and care.

Since this was our first outdoor festival, there were many things we wouldn't know until we tried, and we had a trouble where the stream cut off midway (I am so very sorry...), but thanks to the support of such professionals, we were able to finish the race.

And to everyone who came to the venue, everyone who watched the stream, and everyone who cheered us on, thank you for all the happy words! As organizers, nothing made us happier than hearing both the audience and the performers say they had fun. With planning, design, operations, MCing, and performing, there was so much to do that my head was spinning, but your words truly made me feel from the bottom of my heart that it was worth it.

For Ai Fujimori, this was my first outdoor live show in several years. It was hard to switch from MC mode to musician mode (lol). I was really moved by Mikihito-san's sound, especially considering he collaborated with every single act. Even though it had been in the shade the whole time, the sunset that shone through at the very end was dazzling! Was that a natural spotlight? Does that mean I'm a 'sunny woman' to the end?

Live concerts where you can feel the music in person and reunite with or meet so many people are truly the best. Thank you so much!!!

Let's meet again at 5-chome?!
