On June 28, the day of the event, the weather is very clear, and at the same time as the opening, customers are crowded, and the Osaka-jo Castle Music Hall has a nice groove drifting from the beginning. If you subscribe to PARCO's membership service "PARCO Members" on that day, you will receive a limited pass sticker, and there will be a curry operation, which is a specialty project of Shinsaibashi PARCO, and a TANK tavern opens. We are looking forward to the start of the show, regardless of the heat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The opening act was a 5-piece band Super Mountaineering Club, which makes music lovers and mountain lovers feel comfortable. There are only hot bands that are booming in popularity, and the tension of customers rises at a stretch.

The first "Tracking the Wind" was also the top song, and the singing voice of vocal Hina and the refreshing and refreshing melody matched the brilliant sky of this day with the best. After that, he sang "Take" and "Tree Sea" to make customers feel more comfortable.

 

 

 

 

 

The next one was luv. It is a new and up-and-coming group from Kansai that forms a unique playful sound based on neo soul, jazz, and classical roots. Even though they have been formed for only two years, their sound and worldview are unique, and we will attract customers.

Starting with "Fuwa Fuwa", the stage where you can experience the grooves unique to luv, such as "Send To You" and "Rear.", is extremely cool. The heat of Osaka-jo Castle Music Hall will also rise further.

The MC of this day was FM802 DJ Sayaka Bando and Noe Tanaka. A fun time was flowing between stages, with light talks that blow away the heat and episode talks with performing artists. There are many heavy listeners, and there are various ales from the audience seats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then came Laura Day Romance. The customers will feel like they are looking forward to listening to this time only to the band that is gaining popularity with the words that reach the heart without falsehood and the sound that connects indie rock and pop.

When wrapped in singing voices such as "platform", "heart" and "let's meet at the beach", the atmosphere of the venue became even clearer, and the blueness of the sky increased further. I feel. I think the stage of Lauras was comfort itself.

 

 

 

 

 

Next, the highlight stage was the 3-piece band w.o.d. from Kobe. The venue heats up on the on-parade of their unique songs that continue to play Grange Sound in the modern music scene, such as "STARS", "Abaku" and "vanilla Sky".

When vocal & guitar Takuya Saitoh is a mixture of singing voice and heavy and fresh sounds that are emotionally shouting, and in a very dense time. The appearance of the customers who were enthusiastic without worrying about sweating was a very impressive stage.

 

 

 

 

 

It was MONO AWARE that sparked such a hot stage further. We will lock the venue with a pop sound that expresses while smelling various backgrounds, while paying attention to the customers, "Let's make it a hydration time together."

Performances such as songs that play unique melody lines such as "Mokemon" and "The direction of the wind changes", and "Tokyo" where the strength of words shines. It was a time for everyone to experience the power of pop music as an ace.

 

 

 

 

 

While the hot sunshine is still shining, OKAMOTO’S appeared on stage, the amount of heat at the venue increased at once. Celebrating the 15th anniversary of their major debut, their stage, one of Japan's leading rock bands, both in name and reality, came to the climax from "Blue Heaven" that was first performed.

The individuality of vocals Okamoto show, guitar player Koki Okamoto, bass player Hama Okamoto and drum player Reiji are distinguished, and while performing popular songs such as "Thank you" and "90'S TOKYO BOYS", the venue and the customer are in a stage where the world of OKAMOTO'S is dyed.

 

 

 

 

 

And “Shinsaibashi PARCO presents FM802 Rockin’ Radio!” is finally the last one. The tri was Bialystocks, who gained popularity for his unique sound approach. Every customer gets drunk with the sound that can be said to be an idiotic, such as crossover of nostalgia and newness, or melody but alternative.

 

 

 

Synchronizes with the evening when the sun begins to set, and when famous songs such as "Lighthouse", "Over Now" and "Ainjuku" are played, the groove of the venue will increase further. At the encore, "Onto You" was performed, making the customer's chest feel endless. And the best stage to the end came to the end with great applause and regret.
