This is the first time it has been held as a new business venture by Yappe Inc. This event, held on September 1st, Disaster Prevention Day, was planned by our representative, Kageyama, after he experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake in Fukushima Prefecture. His challenge, which began with the desire to “connect his beloved music with disaster prevention,” resonated with many in the audience. ■ BuzzyFes 2025 event overview Event Name: BuzzyFes 2025 (pronounced: Buzzy Fest) Date: Monday, September 1, 2025, Doors Open at 6:00 PM, Show Starts at 7:00 PM Venue: Spotify O-Crest (2-14-8 Dogenzaka, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) Organizer: Yappe Inc.

After a change in line-up, the band is now in its current form. Yaguchi’s songs are straightforward and pop, yet somehow tinged with loneliness, and they captivate listeners with their realistic lyrics that resonate with the hearts of their generation, and their explosive live performances. The sense of unity with the audience that is born at their live shows is overwhelming. They are now making a name for themselves as a band that truly transforms during live performances.

The current members are Kita (vocals, guitar), Cooler Nakano (guitar), Shimizu (bass), and Mogi (drums). Their music, with its profound sound and straightforward, sharp lyrics, leaves a lasting impression on listeners. In 2019, they performed at “ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2019,” and since then, they have continued to evolve both their music and live performances, establishing a unique presence in the live house scene. ■ Scenes from the event On the day of the event, the venue was packed with visitors as soon as it opened, and the excitement was building even before the show began.

Yappe Inc. Representative Director Hiroki Kageyama I experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake in Fukushima Prefecture, and I planned this event with the desire to “spread the importance of disaster prevention through music.” Because I was saved by the space of live music venues, I believe it’s meaningful to connect music and disaster prevention. I was hesitant to hold the event, worried that disaster prevention might have a stuffy image, but on the day, an artist told me, “You should be more confident and put disaster prevention at the forefront,” and I was determined to put my beliefs forward. We will continue to challenge ourselves to communicate disaster prevention in a more personal way through music. ■ Future Developments Following the first event, “BuzzyFes” plans to continue as a festival to promote disaster prevention. We will continue to take on the challenge of combining music with social issues, expanding opportunities for young people to actively participate across the country. ■ Related links Official website: https://buzzyfes.jp X (old Twitter): https://twitter.com/buzzyfes Instagram:
