You can't help but smile. Tea Kaden Snap in THE CAMP BOOK 2023.

THE CAMP BOOK 2023 was held at Fujimi Kogen Resort in Nagano Prefecture on June 10 and 11. Now that the Corona disaster has settled down, many people may be looking forward to enjoying a festival this year without any worries. As if in response to such expectations, the event featured such splendid artists as EGO-WRAPPIN' (Acoustic Set), ZAZEN BOYS, GEZAN, Takkyu Ishino, and many more, delighting music lovers. HOUYHNHNM took a snapshot of the venue with "Kocha Kaden," a delicious drink that brought a smile to our faces. Festivals are great, aren't they? Cheers to "Kocha Kaden" in one hand!

THE CAMP BOOK is such a festival.

First of all, let me assure you that there were only good people at this festival. When I applied for this photo shoot at the festival, no one turned me down, and they all agreed to do it with smiles on their faces. I am truly grateful. After all, a peaceful event attracts good people.

The lineup of artists for this event is outstanding, ranging from hip-hop acts such as 5lack and OMSB, to alternative acts such as ZAZEN BOYS and GEZAN, to dance music acts such as Korean hit makers 250 and Takkyu Ishino. The artists were diverse and genre-less. In a sense, this balance may be the quintessence of "THE CAMP BOOK. Incidentally, it should be noted that one of our reporters recommended the Kamome Children's Chorus from Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, as the best act.

The location of the ski resort is another attraction. The difference in elevation allows visitors to enjoy the spectacular scenery, and the free ski lifts are a popular feature of the festival. Tents were set up throughout the venue, and everyone was spending their time as they pleased, some hopping on the stage, others enjoying the company of family and friends while enjoying BBQ and bonfires in their tents. The proximity between the tents and the stage is one of the attractions of this event.

A compact venue that is easy to navigate, artists who will capture the hearts of music lovers, and a lush natural landscape that covers the entire field of view . With all this in place, all you have to do is enjoy yourself from the bottom of your heart.

HOUYHNHNM's conducted a snapshot of visitors with the four flavors of "Kocha Kaden" that further accelerated the vibrancy of the venue. Here are the pure smiles of 11 groups of visitors who were enjoying the event and enjoying "Kocha Kaden".
