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.

It’s summer.

The Osaka Big Band Jazz Festival was launched to energize Japan starting from Osaka by boosting the entertainment scene. There are various theories, but Osaka is said to be the birthplace of jazz in Japan, and many jazz musicians and bands from here have gone on to perform around the world. With high-caliber performers, the lineup offers not only orchestral performances and vocals but also engaging talk segments, making it well worth the trip to Osaka for a memorable time!

Schedule	June 21 (Sat)–22 (Sun), 2025
