15 Years of Gratitude. Playback of HOUYHNHNM's first urban festival, HNF!

HOUYHNHNM's (HOUYHNHNM's festival) was held on October 13 (Sun.) at "Shibuya Stream" and "Shibuya River Street". The day before, a large typhoon hit the area, forcing the event to be held in the afternoon, but when the lid was finally opened, the day was clear and sunny. The event was a great success, with approximately 8,000 people in attendance. The festival, held to commemorate the 15th anniversary of HOUYHNHNM's first issue, was an opportunity to express our gratitude to all those who have been involved and to our readers. For those of you who were unable to attend the festival due to the typhoon or living in the countryside, this report will help you soak up the aftermath of the event together. Let's get started!

Shibuya, where a typhoon has just passed . A special day by HOUYHNHNM is about to begin.

A special gate is set up at the entrance to the venue on the Shibuya Stream.

Just before the doors opened. I was nervous about whether the guests would actually show up, but my fears were soon put to rest. Even before the doors opened, there was already a long line of people waiting in line! Before we knew it, the venue was filled with countless visitors. The event was held in a very convenient location in the middle of Shibuya, and many people, from couples to parents and children, came to see the event.
