FLAT is bathed in the blue of Iichiko Super.

First, let’s take a look at the FLAT space on the B1 floor. On the raised stage, a bottle tower made from a staggering 48 bottles of “Iichiko Super” stands majestically. Next to it is a display of the “Iichiko Super” × “G-SHOCK” collaboration watch—a super-special timepiece prepared as a prize for a limited-edition raffle of just 30 units. The box also features a special foil-stamped design. As for the details of this intriguing watch...this way (direction close to the speaker or towards the speaker)Check out the article!

FLAT is running a campaign where you can get drink tickets. Post a photo of the venue on social media to get one ticket. Plus, take a photo at the photo booth inside the venue to get another ticket. These tickets can be exchanged for a drink made with "Iichiko Super" or a soft drink. Considering that admission is free, this is a pretty generous event.

Come hear some great music from six artists.

After toasting with a drink made with “Iichiko Super,” head down the stairs to UNIT on the B2 floor. The lineup includes uin, OMSB, GREEN ASSASSIN DOLLAR, LIBRO, Harashima “Domannaka” Chuhou, and 16FLIP. In the background, VJ visuals featuring motifs from “Iichiko Super” and the collaboration watch will be projected, adding a touch of glamour to the stage.

Kicking off the event was uin, a producer and DJ who has gained attention not only for producing tracks for rappers at the forefront of the scene—such as BIM, Skaai, and Bonbero—but also for providing beats for shows like *Red Bull Spiral* and *The Birth of a Rap Star*. With a wide-ranging setlist spanning mellow tunes to heavy-hitting beats, he had the crowd completely hooked. Next up, OMSB’s DJ set featured a selection brimming with B-BOY vibes. A collaboration watch glinted on his wrist as he worked the controllers.

It was past 8:00 PM, and as people finished work and began arriving, the venue started to fill up. GREEN ASSASSIN DOLLAR, known for providing beats for Natsutama, filled the air with some dope sounds. Next up was LIBRO, who has been active since the dawn of Japanese hip-hop. He performed “Signal feat. Motoharu” and “Walking Down the Alley” from his latest album, *Naorai*, and when the intro to the absolute classic “Rainy Monday” began, the crowd reached a fever pitch. For the finale, “Unmei ga Kimi ni Aini Kita,” everyone raised their fists in unison to the chorus, creating an electric atmosphere. His skill at fostering a sense of unity on the dance floor is truly impressive.

You can take your time—that’s the beauty of a two-floor event.

If you happen to run into a friend and feel like having a relaxed chat, head back to B1 FLAT. One of the charms of this two-floor event is having a space where you can relax—whether it’s taking purikura photos or browsing the vintage “Iichiko Super” ad creatives plastered on the walls. Since FLAT’s speakers are connected to UNIT, you won’t miss out on any live performances or DJ sets.

We’ve prepared original photo booth frames designed to match the key visuals from our flyers and other materials. Not only can you print your photos on the spot, but we’ll also send them to your smartphone via AirDrop, so you can preserve your memories both physically and digitally. Taking Purikura photos with friends while holding a bottle of “Iichiko Super” is a rare opportunity that’s sure to deepen your bonds. Past “Iichiko Super” advertisements, displayed on the floor or projected onto screens, feature a variety of materials all shaped like bottles. You can’t help but notice the creativity in the choice of materials and their arrangement.

The "So I’m Your Friend" Set: A one-night-only event with all your friends.

Well, as we’ve been waiting for, it’s finally time to announce the raffle results. We’ve prepared 30 of the collaboration watches mentioned earlier and 30 bottles of “Iichiko Super”! The raffle was open to all attendees. If the four-digit number you received upon entry appeared on the stage monitor, you won! The audience was glued to the screen as “ODDJOB”—the team behind the opening sequences for “Wednesday’s Downtown” and Hiroshi Fujiwara’s music videos—presented the results in a special video!

Starting with the first track: GAPPER, OMSB, MARIA

After the raffle results were announced, Harashima ”Domannaka” Chuhou—who also served as the event’s presenter—took the stage. When it comes to alcohol and music, this is the man behind “Senboku Nomiya Monogatari.” Under the banner of the ”So I’m Your Friend Set,” eight rapper friends took the stage one after another! First up was GAPPER, hailing from the same Itabashi ward as Harashima ”Domannaka” Chuhou. Next, OMSB and MARA raised a toast together, and SIMI LAB performed ”Uncommon” live for the first time in over a decade. Then, VOLOJZA and CHAPAH from VLUTENT RECORDS took the stage, followed by the four members of Chaos On Parade. Honda Q, who released “Kotohogi”—which Harashima “Domannaka” Chuhou counts among the best releases of 2025—also made an appearance. These connections, characteristic of Harashima “Domannaka” Chuhou and transcending labels and generations, are a testament to his history of playing at countless venues and sharing drinks with fellow artists.

At the end of this intense set, packed with one live performance after another, a cactus made an appearance—just as the lyrics of ’BE SURE“ suggest. During ”Watch Your Step,” they gave a shout-out to rappers, DJs, dancers, and graffiti artists, and on “Darlin’ feat. jjj (remix),” Harashima “Domannaka” Chuhiro also grabbed the mic and rapped in front of the booth. They wrapped up the “So I’m your friend” set, a fitting finale for this one-night-only super event. And rounding out the event was 16FLIP, the beatmaker and DJ alias of rapper ISSUGI. As a B-boy DJ who has released the mix series “atomosphere” and has been spinning at clubs across the country for years, there’s absolutely no reason not to dance while sipping “Iichiko Super.”

Once again, thank you to everyone who came out! With great music and great drinks, we hope you had a wonderful time. Congratulations to those who won the raffle. We hope you’ll look back on this evening as you wear your new watch or enjoy a glass of “Iichiko Super.” We’ll continue to host events from time to time, so stay tuned!
