Yukihiro Takahashi and Mitsuo Shindo.

These two, who consistently deliver cool and cutting-edge proposals in the worlds of music and design, present a "new musical space." It's an ultimate relaxation time unfolding in a vast venue, adjacent to the city center yet with greenery that soothes the eyes. Music transcends generations.

This is a place where families and friends across two or three generations gather to enjoy themselves and deepen their bonds. We will also provide facilities that allow young mothers and fathers, who might hesitate to attend such events due to concerns about their small children, to participate with peace of mind.

If children who will shape the future, and the adults who support them, can spend happy times together, and if the power of that happiness can spread to everyone in the world, what could be more wonderful?

With an eye toward the environment, too. Under the midsummer sun, surrendering to heartfelt performances and spending enjoyable time, you might encounter something special. Such a flow of time is truly a dreamlike Time and Place.
