Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC and in charge of music festivals. When I attended my first music festival as a freshman in college, I was captivated by its charm—“I can’t believe there’s a place this free and this fun.” I share information about wonderful music festivals every day to help grow the community of festival fans.

Even in autumn, there are still plenty of music festivals being held.

Here’s a roundup of fall music festivals taking place in western Japan.

It covers a wide area from the Tokai region to Kyushu and Okinawa, and there are lots of interesting events in each region.

This is an outdoor festival hosted by WANIMA, the popular three-piece rock band known for doing commercials and theme songs. Holding a festival they run themselves in their hometown of Kumamoto is a long-awaited event for both the band and their fans! I can’t wait to see which of their close-connected bands will be on the lineup. It’s a must-see event for fans who want to fully enjoy both music and Kumamoto. If you’re visiting Kumamoto for the first time, be sure to set aside plenty of time and go have fun!

TREASURE05XSep 6 (Sat) – 7 (Sun), Aichi Prefecture

TREASURE05X is held every summer. Speaking of summer, it’s all about the beach—and festivals! Since Laguna Beach hosts a seaside summer festival, it’s the perfect event to soak up the season to the fullest. With the crowd’s energy, you’ll forget the heat as you lose yourself in the music, and enjoying the local food and drinks is another highlight. The lineup is packed with hot artists, especially from the Japanese rock scene, making it tough to choose which date to attend. If possible, you’ll want to go to all of them.
