■ Message from “VIVA LA ROCK” producer Ariizumi Tomoko
Sorry for keeping you waiting! With the 17 new artists that we have announced this time, we were able to announce the entire lineup of this year’s VIVA LA ROCK. This 96 group will host a total of 97 artists, including the Grand Prix winners of “VIVA LA CHANCE,” and will be holding their 12th VIVA LA ROCK 2025!
I am truly delighted and grateful that so many artists will be taking part in Vivara again this year. I feel that booking the festival is like a magnificent journey. There’s nothing decided somehow. With so many people’s feelings and resonating with many people, this year we are able to join us with so many wonderful artists with unique personalities. Thank you so much!
Of course, this year’s journey is still not over.
We hope that many people will join this lineup and create a great joy, enthusiasm, and music festival for the four days of May 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th. At the festival, the artist and the participants will be deeply conscious of each other, and their expressions and color will be changed more and more. The curiosity and passion that each of you has about music has always made VIVA LA ROCK a VIVA LA ROCK a VIVA LA ROCK a reality. Vivara wants to prove with you this year that it is only because of the various music and various people gathering in this place that you can create a happy celebration wherever you go.
The release has already begun, but I am very pleased to see that many people will be able to visit this year as well.
The timetable will also be announced soon. I hope you’ll look forward to it a little more.
This is one important announcement. This year, we will not be running a paid live broadcast, “Vivara! Online.”
Due to the pandemic, the event was abandoned from holding the event in 2020. In the midst of a situation where all kinds of live shows, events and festivals have been forced to cancel, Vivara! Online was launched with the desire to somehow bring music to everyone, but as the COVID-19 pandemic has come to an end, we are able to gather together in one space and experience the joy of music, Vivara! Online has come to an end.
I am truly grateful that many people have participated in “Vivara! Online” over the past five years. There are surely many people who have become interested in Vivara and music after watching online. Next time, please come and visit the Saitama Super Arena site. We would be happy if you could experience the joy and depth of music that you can feel in all your heart, as well as the fun of Vivara. Vivara is always looking forward to seeing you!
We have announced 10 pairs who have passed the audio source screening for the music audition “VIVA LA CHANCE ~U-22 SAITAMA Music Audition~” which was launched with fellow members of the telephones and Saitama.
To be honest, it was unknown how many entries we would receive from the fairly short period of recruitment, with about a month and a half from the announcement of the event to the deadline for entry, but as a result, we received 128 groups of applicants. There were many music from a variety of genres and forms, and each one was able to feel the sparkling personality and new possibilities, and I was often surprised by the high quality of the music, making the screening difficult. I strongly hope that even those who did not pass the audio source review will continue to work on their own music/expression. Thank you so much for applying.
The live screening will be held at HEAVEN’S ROCK Saitama Shintoshin on Monday, March 31st, with doors open at 12:00 and opening at 12:15 at lunchtime. Anyone can visit for free (you will only have to pay 600 yen per drink), so please come and see the possibilities of this fresh future! I’m also very much looking forward to seeing the 10 live shows.
It’s only 40 days left until the event is held. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you once again and taking care of yourself in preparation!
Enjoy music together at VIVA LA ROCK at Saitama Super Arena during Golden Week! !

■A message from “VIVA LA CHANCE” producer Tanotara Teru
Thank you very much to all 128 artists who applied to VIVA LA CHANCE.
Despite the short period of recruitment, about a month and a half after the announcement of the event, I was very pleased that the number of applications was higher than I had expected.
Each artist’s uniqueness and personality shines through, and it was very difficult to judge the audio source.
We listened seriously, including Ariizumi and all the executive committee members, and we were able to select 10 groups who passed the qualifying round.
I sincerely hope that all the artists who were not selected will continue to carry the music they believe in without being discouraged.
Next, on March 31st, there will be a live screening of artists who pass the audio source screening at HEAVEN’S ROCK Saitama Shintoshin (admission is free, anyone can come and see it).
I’m really looking forward to seeing the live show.
Although we are so presumptuous that we will send you impressions and small advice to the 10 pairs who have passed the audio source screening soon, so please be patient.
Once again, thank you very much to everyone who applied! ! !
