Representative: Kohei Yuasa) will be located on the first basement floor of a building in Udagawa-cho, in the middle of Shibuya (Shibuya Emerald Building B1, 12-7 Udagawa-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) in the spring of 2025. We are pleased to announce the opening of a new live house “Shibuya FOWS”. This live house aims to be a place where various cultures mix and people connect. We purposely designed the new building in Shibuya, the epicenter of Japanese culture, from the skeleton, installed a large LED screen at the back of the stage, and installed sound equipment that was impossible for a 200-person capacity, so much attention was paid to what some might say was “excessive.” This will be the venue.

Equipped with equipment that allows for signage advertising on the road and video production with LED panels, the “difficulty of entering” that is unique to live music venues has been solved by introducing a non-verbal system and visual alignment, making it the first of its kind. We aim to be a place that can accommodate a wide range of needs, from live house experiences to inbound tourists. In addition, FiLL’s Holdings operates businesses such as “Moving to Tokyo Support,” which supports artists working in Tokyo in their first steps, and “Career Consulting” and “Share House,” which support dual and second careers. We support the activities of artists. The official opening of SHIBUYA FOWS is scheduled for spring 2025.

Making the live house easier to enter by installing a large signage on the first floor to project artist information and live live footage, converting the live house to DX, and making it easier to access, including non-verbally, for foreign tourists. To a place. Then, by launching owned media and making full use of SNS and magazines to increase the ability of live houses to communicate, the live house side can gain recognition of artists and attract customers by approaching groups that are difficult to reach by artists alone. To become. Also, create an environment at the live house where management staff can advance their careers and improve their skills to avoid “exploitation”. As a manager and a band member myself, the place that filled with my feelings of “I wish there was a live house like this” will be put into motion with my best friends. We hope that this place will become a place where many artists and customers come to love music even more. ■Comment from Shinya Suzuki, Head of Shibuya FOWS My name is Shinya Suzuki and I have been appointed to oversee Shibuya FOWS! Looking back, 15 years ago, as the first manager of
Shimokitazawa ReG, I thought I would never have the experience of starting a live house in a newly built building with no affiliated stores and building everything from the interior to the interior, but…this is my second time. there was. I will serve as the first manager of “Shibuya FOWS”, an “over-the-top” live house equipped with the latest equipment in Shibuya Center Gai! Perhaps the president has left his “compromise” behind somewhere, and although I feel a little depressed about the costs that are increasing like crazy, I feel the pressure on me and my body tightening. Shibuya FOWS aims to be a comfortable place where you can feel the warmth of people, even though it is equipped with the latest equipment. We will do our best to provide a special and satisfying time to all the artists who perform and all the customers who visit! And I also have a “hidden treasure” in terms of hardware that I can’t reveal yet… Please stay tuned for more information! I will do my best to take on the challenge of starting from scratch for the second time in my life, so please give me your support!
Features of “SHIBUYA FOWS” ■An entertainment spot that connects online, offline, and the world In Shibuya, the center of Japan, we provide a place where various cultures mix and people connect. In order to take advantage of the strengths of both online and offline, we have equipment that allows for signage advertising on the road and video production with LED panels. In addition, we will eliminate the difficulty of entering a live house by introducing a non-verbal system and visual alignment, and aim to create a place that can accommodate a wide range of people, from first-time live house experiences to inbound tourists. ■Origin and meaning of the live house name From the tarot card FOUR OF WANDS. It means a place of beginning, a place of exchange, a common hobby, etc., and it means that we hope that many artists will use this place as an opportunity to connect and spread their wings. WANDS is also a symbol of fire, and since fire has been at the center of communities since ancient times, it also means that it will become the center of music in Japan. ■Purpose We will revitalize the live house and band scene, centering on Shibuya FOWS. We form events and communities that connect the whole country, and also take the lead in DXing and improving the efficiency of live houses. We also provide artist management and create an environment where artists can be nurtured from the ground up. In addition, we will collaborate with a wide range of other businesses within the holdings, such as human resources recruitment, share houses, and food and beverage businesses, to create a structure in which we create an economic zone of musicians while returning the profits to the music industry.
