Formerly with Sony Music, I now work for a real estate company group and plan and produce events mainly in Fukuoka.

I would like to propose a new style of food, community building, and culture transmission by combining Japanese and international music and creations.

Let’s contribute to urban development together through the entertainment angle.

A town is not created by designers, but by the people who live there, the people who express themselves, and the history of the town.

Canal Cross Culture Program

Currently holding a culture festival based in Fukuoka, Japan, to consider music in Asia and Japan. Live showcases, conferences, meet-up parties, etc. with invited domestic and international musicians and event organizers.

I hope to utilize the power of entertainment for urban development.

WHAT I DO

  • I look for bands to perform at my shows (e.g. promoter, festival owner/curator, venue, etc.)

We conduct festivals at our assets (commercial facilities, parks, plazas, etc.) and also conduct music events in a wide range of scenes, including festivals for government projects. We hope to contribute to the creation of the city through the power of music and creativity.
