"Virtual Shibuya au 5G X’mas" allows you to create Christmas memories in a realistically recreated Shibuya from the comfort of your home. Until December 25th (Friday), the event features a packed schedule including the Netflix Presents "Alice in Borderland" special screening, the "Virtual! NHK Christmas Show" with Chiko-chan, and other events with prize giveaways.Related ArticlesMeanwhile, another highlight is the new song "Here Forever" by the globally acclaimed emerging singer-songwriter Emma Wahlin, written specifically for "Virtual Shibuya au 5G X’mas."

Emma Wahlin is an emerging singer-songwriter based in LA, with a Swedish father and a Japanese mother, giving her multinational roots. Her debut song "Can’t Have" in 2018 was produced by the Dutch duo Sick Individuals. She garnered significant attention with her beautiful voice alone, keeping her beauty hidden and shrouded in mystery. The following year, she was selected for Spotify's annual "Early Noise 2019" feature, which highlights promising new artists, drawing global attention.

Her new song "Here Forever" was written specifically for "Virtual Shibuya au 5G X’mas." It's a positive song about Shibuya, with a moderate tempo and bell sounds that enhance the Christmas spirit. It will play as background music in the "Virtual Shibuya au 5G X’mas" space, and you can also view her profile. Additionally, a remix version by Tomoyuki Tanaka of FPM will be available exclusively within the venue! This is sure to be the song of this winter, spent in a virtual Shibuya with family, lovers, friends, or even on a solo stroll.

I wanted to create a song that would allow everyone who has had a tough time due to COVID to imagine a brighter future again, and to offer emotional support. I envision this song inspiring people to face any future difficulties with a positive attitude and the determination to overcome them.
It would be a lie to say I haven't felt sadness, especially with the need to refrain from going out and the reduced opportunities to meet people. However, I believe that a bright future awaits if we continue to believe.
This project has made me realize that I want to make the most of my time, cherish time with family, challenge myself with things I want to do now, and spend creative time with friends using today's tools like online and virtual platforms!
