“Kishidan Expo 2024” will be held at Makuhari Messe!
First held as a festival in 2012, “Kishidan Expo” has been held at Sodegaura Seaside Park in Chiba Prefecture in September every year, but this year the date and venue have been moved and it will be held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture in November. Performing artists and ticket information will be announced at a later date, so stay tuned!
Comments from Sho Ayanokoji (Kishidan) are as follows.
In honor of the “Kishidan Expo 2024”.
Kishidan Expo was held independently in 2003 and 2006, and changed to a festival style in 2012.
Starting from a place where I didn’t know what was going on, I’ve been learning from and being influenced by a wide variety of music festivals, from mega events to local events to artist-led and sponsored events, and it’s been 10 years since I’ve been at a tortoise pace.
Little by little, we have penetrated the local community, and the number of companies, governments, local governments, and restaurants that have understood and cooperated with us has increased, and we have experienced firsthand the importance and preciousness of “continuing”. .
However, it has been far from smooth sailing over the past 10 years, and despite being plagued by bad weather like every year, we have somehow managed to hold the event with all our might. However, in 2019, a large typhoon hit Chiba Prefecture, and the following year, the new coronavirus made landfall, and I thought everything would finally be over…However, I still received support from many people and the inherent difficulty of dying. We persevered on the edge of the ring, and from the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs and the bases loaded, we were able to hold the event online, and in 2022, we were able to return to the venue for the first time in three years.
“Miracles don’t have to wait, they have to happen.”
This word eventually became our slogan.
Despite all our efforts, we had to postpone the event last year in 2023.
The reason is for vocal cord treatment for myself, Sho Ayanokoji.
I felt extremely regretful about this situation, but strangely enough, this period also served as an opportunity for me to look back on the Kishidan Expo and to face it head-on.
What we have gained in the last 10 years…
What we have lost in the last 10 years…
What I discovered was the possibility…
Things that remain closed…
The problems and inconveniences that emerged…
What exactly is progress?
Or what is universal…?
There was a blind spot because we had continued to move forward no matter what happened.
And then we arrived.
Kishidan Expo will be reborn.
I came here unexpectedly and was reborn.
The season is from mid-September to early November.
The venue was from Sodegaura Seaside Park to Makuhari Messe.
From outdoors to indoors.
Even though they are in the same Chiba prefecture, the Bakuon tribe has moved around a bit.
Naturally, there must be some people who feel lonely.
He looked forward to reuniting with the sea, wind, and palm trees of Chiba Fornia every year.
Some people may find it bland.
The scorching sun in Boso, the chilly afternoons, and damp sneakers while planting rice are all memories I cherish so much that I want to embrace them.
However, Kishidan Expo will still change.
Why would it change? Why change it?
What will it change? What should I change it to?
What will change? What would you change?
What will change? What would change?
We’ll show you that in November.
I’m sorry to everyone who has come to our town for 10 years.
I’m sorry to all the local people who have supported us for 10 years.
promise.
I’ll definitely go back.
This is a great first step towards that end.
It’s not a sentimental thing.
November 9th and 10th, 2024.
“Kishidan Expo 2024

It will be held.

Yes, beyond the period.
I have a message for you who have read this far.
“Are you coming to my house?”
