Shibuya Shibuya Sakura Stage opened on July 25, 2024 as Shibuya's next-generation landmark.
To mark the facility's first New Year's celebrations, the live art event "404 LIVE ST-ART 2025" will be held at BLOOM GATE on the 3rd floor, directly connected to JR Shibuya Station.
This dynamic event will see artists create new year-themed motifs on the spot, making it a colorful way to start the new year.

This time, we will be doing live painting.
Takeshi Ishikawa is a painter and organizing member of "404 Not Found," a collaborative hub for indie creators on the 4th floor of Shibuya Sakura Stage.
The painting will be bold and befitting the city of Shibuya, where new cultures are born and intermingled, and will be created on a canvas measuring approximately 5 meters wide and 1.3 meters high.

In addition, to celebrate the New Year, guests will be treated to alcoholic drinks (serving times: 2 times a day, from 2pm to 3pm and 5pm to 6pm on both January 2nd and 3rd).

■About Tamanohikari's new sake "350+"
The live art event will feature "350+," a new sake from Tamanohikari Sake Brewery, based in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City.
This masterpiece was created to commemorate the fact that "traditional sake brewing," which has been carefully preserved for 350 years, has been registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
The first series was released in December and is a limited edition bottle in which farmers, brewers and artists have expressed their creativity, and it has proven popular.
With the special cooperation of Tamanohikari Sake Brewery, we will be hosting a creative New Year's event.
