I can’t explain in words how amazing ULTRA Japan was. I went the 2nd day out of the 3-day EDM music festival with Nicky Romero, DJ Snake and Skrillex headlining the show. Many thanks to Baroque Japan Limited for letting us hang out in your booth, and to my best friend Marie for dancing like … Continue Reading
Zushi Fes is a music festival held every summer at Zushi beach, and this year I decided to check it out with my friend Mika. From Kamakura station, we took a free shuttle to the venue. If Zushi was closer to Tokyo, I would probably live here – there are so many similarities to southern … Continue Reading
A Japanese summer is not complete without a summer festival, also known as “matsuri” in Japanese. My mother and grandparents used to take my brother and I to the matsuri every summer we visited Japan. The endless street food vendors, toys, games and the bon-odori and taiko performances have always fascinated me as a child, … Continue Reading

Posting these photos from Electrox Japan 2015, like, 2 days late but… I had to post them. This is a New Year’s EDM festival held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba prefecture.

It’s matsuri (festival) season again, and I was so excited to go to the Sanja Matsuri in Asakusa for the 2nd year in a row with my friend Alisa. The weather was perfect, a great start to the weekend. We stuffed ourselves with too much food, but somehow still managed to find room in our … Continue Reading
Yep, just saw them live tonight at the Womb Shibuya and I’m still trying to relive it. Icona Pop is a unit that you definitely need to see live. Their vocal abilities, stage presence, energy – it’s all there and my friends and I enjoyed every minute of their performance. Caroline seemed more the playful … Continue Reading
I didn’t think I’d go to two festivals this weekend, but I’m so glad I did! My good friend Marie told me about this Jamaican Festival at Yoyogi Park and I immediately told her I wanted to go. Apparently there are several international festivals at Yoyogi Park, and last week was the Thai … Continue Reading
