Hi, I’m Kei. On Saturday, June 13, 2026, I was there at Todoroki Athletics Stadium for Day 1 of SHISHAMO THE FINAL!!! THANKS DAY — the last concert of a band that defined 13 years.
I’ve written before about migrating my home server entirely to WordPress. That post focused on the migration work itself, but development hasn’t stopped since.
All five days of COUNTDOWN JAPAN 25/26 at Makuhari Messe: a six-day road trip from Aichi, and the story of a band I first met through a station billboard three years ago.
It’s been a while since my last blog update. There’s been a lot going on, like the earthquake. I hadn’t felt like updating for a while, so I took a break.
☆☆☆ Artists I saw ☆☆☆ ◆Day 1 (December 28)◆ On Day 1, there were fewer attendees compared to Day 2, so I was able to move around to various places quite freque…
I went. Verdict: a complete away game for me. Yeah. Male to female ratio: roughly 2:8. Over half were there for JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN. Team color: orange.
One year into my festival life, I laid out every T-shirt and scarf towel I’d bought. I used to wonder why anyone paid for festival tees — now I get it.
Three days at ROCK IN JAPAN FES. 2010 in Hitachinaka: quick notes on every act I saw, from Perfume and Spitz to Ketsumeishi in the front rows on the final day.
With a brutal summer ahead, I hit Tokyu Hands for festival gear: a clip that hangs a water bottle from your belt, and a hat I spent an hour choosing.
FACTORY, a Fuji TV underground music program, apparently holds a special event once a year timed with Odaiba Kuni — that’s LIVE FACTORY.
I went to GO FES! First time back at a festival since COUNTDOWN JAPAN 09/10 at the end of last year — three months in between.
COUNTDOWN JAPAN 09/10 — my second festival ever. This time I dropped the self-consciousness and danced. From Perfume to Sakamoto Ryuichi to Unicorn.
My first festival ever: Summer Sonic 2009. MONGOL800 on the beach, a thunderstorm evacuation, and Beyoncé closing with something closer to a full-scale show than a live set.
Inspired by my impulsive Ayumi Hamasaki night, I bought a Summer Sonic 2009 ticket — and added a countdown widget to the blog while I was at it.
