The 1460 is synonymous with Dr. Martens.
Sixty years and culture that the 8-hole boot has walked.

On April 1, 1960, a pair of shoes was born in England. Under the name of "1460 8-hole boot," it grew to become "Dr. Martens" and even to shape London street fashion. It became a fixture for young people who questioned the social system and took their own stance. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the birth of these historic shoes, the "DR.MARTENS 60YEARS ONLINE FESTIVAL" was held the other day. The identity of the 8-hole boot was brought to life through live bands, DJs, art exhibits, live paintings, and other multifaceted contents.

Live performances by two up-and-coming bands.

The event kicked off with a live performance of two bands that performed online at Shibuya WWW on October 8. CHAI, whose keyword is "neo cute" and who are active around the world, and TENDOUJI, who shine in the Tokyo indie rock scene, were the other two bands.

The four-member group TENDOUJI appeared on stage as the first performer, and as if to meet the expectations of the audience waiting for them on the screen, they played energetic songs from start to finish, showing their passion as a band. The band's passion was evident throughout their performance.

In the MC, it was impressive to hear them say, "It was our first live performance in a long time." Their performance, which seemed to dissipate their abundant energy and emotions through their instruments, was nothing short of magnificent. Their performance, which seemed to convert their energy into positive power, was a natural and powerful experience to watch.

After TENDOUJI's 45-minute live performance, CHAI, who describes themselves as "NEO - New Excite Onna Band," appeared on stage.

The four members, all dressed in matching outfits, take the stage and play with care and stability. But that is not the end of CHAI's charm. Always conscious of communicating with the audience, the girls put on a "captivating" live performance.

. They are always trying to keep the audience glued to the stage and entertained. This, combined with their pop music, made for a very lively and engaging performance.

A digest version of this live performance is available on the " Dr. Martens " YouTube channel. If you missed the live streaming, please check it out.

This video will be available only through Thursday, November 19.
