Produced by Shinichiro Nakamura. Featuring Talk Live, Casa Shopping Street, and more!

Exploring a city with friends as guides is a joy.—Based on this idea, the "IMS x Casa BRUTUS: A Kyushu Guide Created by All" event showcases selections of crafts, art, and local products from seven prefectures in Kyushu, curated by Shinichiro Nakamura's seven friends, who are producers. Furthermore, visitors can view the "guide maps" for each prefecture, created by these friends, on tablets at the venue, or take them home on their smartphones or Android phones.
