It has been announced that “rockin’star Carnival”, sponsored and planned by Rocking on Japan Inc., will be held on October 4th at the Ibaraki nationally operated Hitachi Seaside Park! In addition, advance ticket discounts for J-Fest have also started.
“rockin’star Carnival” is a completely new entertainment that combines music with fireworks. The masterpieces of J-ROCK/J-POP from DJ Kazu, who serves as the closing DJ at “J Festival” (a Rocking On music festival), are synchronized with approximately 20,000 fireworks that soar high in the night sky from behind. Not only fireworks, but also flashy special effects and lasers overlap in front of the stage, coloring the world of the song. The “JAPAN Sweets Festival” will also be held at the same time, with 10 carefully selected sweet shops from all over the country.
■A message from “rockin’star carnival” producer Kaizu Ryo
Rocking On creates a whole new entertainment that combines music with fireworks. The event is titled “rockin’star Carnival.” Over the past few years, events have been increasing throughout the country where music is played loudly and synchronized with fireworks, and we are planning to create original entertainment that can be created with Rocking On, which is different from any of these.
The setting is the prairie of the state-run Hitachi Seaside Park, and the event will be held on Saturday, October 4th, in the height of autumn, the perfect season.
Last year, we were able to hold the ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL in Hitachinaka for the first time in five years, at the 25th anniversary. For us, who were forced to move the venue due to unexpected circumstances, this was a long-cherished wish. I was able to see the best views. We hope to continue making this happen at the anniversary. The next event is 2029, the 30th anniversary. Until then, this Rockinstar Carnival will be a special event that will connect Hitachina and us Rockin’ On.
There will be performers at Rockinstar Carnival. It’s DJ Japanese. Yes, this is DJ Kazu, who has recently become a killer content as a closing act at JFest (Rocking On Festival). A total of 20,000 fireworks that soar high in the night sky from behind are synchronized with the masterpieces of J-ROCK and J-POP that are released from his DJ play. Not only fireworks, but also flashy special effects and lasers overlap in front of the stage to add color to the world of the song. Nowadays, DJ Watari acts are also known as the official after-party of J-Fest. Every time, over 10,000 participants remain at the venue until that time to enjoy the festival. Whether you’re experiencing it or not, why not imagine it? Both us and DJ Kazu are excited as they hold many planning meetings.
We have created an official trailer to help you imagine the current concept, so please take a look. It’s sure to be an event like this and a venue with such a mood.
Please look forward to the entirely new entertainment “Rockinstar Carnival” that is different from a fireworks event or a music DJ event.
On the day, we will also be holding the “JAPAN Sweets Festival,” an event within the event, so that you can enjoy the National Hitachi Seaside Park all day long from early in the day. Using the know-how of the food festival “Manpark” that was once held by Rocking On, 10 carefully selected sweet shops from all over the country are waiting for you. Details will be published later. Of course, we will also be offering a wide range of restaurants other than sweets, so please look forward to it.
DJ Kazu also performs DJ acts multiple times during the day, not only during the actual fireworks.
Also, during this season, Kochia is in full bloom at Miharashino Hill in the park. For families, we also recommend Pleasure Garden, an amusement park area within the park. Please enjoy the autumn seaside park all day from early on.
Starting today, we are beginning to sell JFEST advances, which can be purchased at a discounted price. Anyone can purchase by registering as a free member only. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity.
We look forward to seeing you at the Rockinstar Carnival, the state-run Hitachi Seaside Park in early October.
