An event where HIP HOP artists gather at Kairakuen, one of Ibaraki Prefecture’s top sightseeing spots. It had previously been held as the Kairakuen Music Festival, but in 2023 it was revamped as UTOPIA, with an even more impressive lineup. One of the highlights is a new production that fuses Japanese HIP HOP culture with a historic, traditional setting where you can feel Japan’s history. As a genre that excels at delivering messages, artists will each convey, through music and in their own way, the theme of “what matters now,” sharing the mindsets and feelings they hope people will cherish.
