HNF REPORT: THANK YOU FOR 15 YEARS.

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!

For the best festivals,
Best Music.

CHAI appeared on stage with colorful costumes.

HOUYHNHNM's Live" took place at the 6th floor hall of Shibuya Stream. As the name suggests, HOUYHNHNM's and BEAMS chose the artists they really want to see now. The lineup was rich in variety and delivered a special musical experience just for this day.

The top performer was YAKUSHIMA TREASURE, a unit of COMAI and OORUTAICHI, whose mysterious soundscape was more art than live performance! In stark contrast, the powerful live act of CHAI, who call themselves an experimental soul band, WONK, set the mood with their live sound. The Petrols captivated the audience with their musical depth. Schadaraparr performed as the main act. They gave a superb performance that was befitting of the final event of the festival.

YAKUSHIMA TREASURE's production is surrounded by a fantastic space.

WONK's performance was filled with beautiful voices.

The audience, who had won the high-drawing lottery, eagerly awaited the start of the live performance.

The Petrols captivate with their overwhelming performance and sexy singing voice.

The voltage on the floor was at its highest with "Boogie Back Tonight!

And so, the day of fun came to an end in a flash. From shopping, to food, to music, to running, each and every one of the visitors enjoyed themselves to their heart's content. And for the members of Huinamu, the time spent interacting with the fans was invaluable.

Thank you very much to everyone who came to the event , and to everyone involved. HOUYHNHNM will continue to provide a variety of information, and we look forward to working with you in the future.
