What is “SIDE-B”?

We support people who have a "B-side" that is different from their usual job or main activity, such as "a serious office worker by day, but a DJ/composer by night", "that VTuber/Vocaloid producer is actually a university student", or "a shop assistant and dancer, or more like a TikToker". This project opens up the free days at "BLOOM GATE", which has two large screens, to adults who are involved in SIDE-B activities such as music/video/dance, nurturing new culture and co-creating a community.

*The project content and participating artists may change without notice.
*Depending on the congestion situation at each event, you may not be able to view or participate.
*The event may be canceled due to weather or other factors.
