Shimokitazawa’s annual circuit event “Shimokitazawa ni Ate” and Toyo Kasei, one of Asia’s leading vinyl record manufacturing plants, has been confirmed for this year. Following last year, this year’s event will be held in conjunction with “Record Day,” one of Japan’s largest vinyl record events. An outdoor DJ event will also be held at the same time, using the “Sound Trailer,” a mobile listening room created by Record Market and Technics, in the plaza next to the Supermarket Ozeki Shimokitazawa (the former Odakyu Line site in Shimokitazawa). From the day of the event through the preparation period, Shimokitazawa’s live music venues and shopping districts come together to create a city-wide event called “Shimokitazawa de.” To further liven up the day when the entire town is consumed with music, we’ve planned an event in Shimokitazawa, where record culture is deeply rooted, that will encourage more people of all ages to pick up records. In addition to the record market and DJ event, Nissin Cisco will also be
participating as a vendor. Nissin Cisco will be offering samples of “Crisp Chocolate” at the “Record Day” event. “Crisp Chocolate” is a unique chocolate confectionery with a round, record-like shape. This time, we will be giving out two varieties, including the new product “Crisp Chocolate Crunchy Crunch,” which was released in September of this year. At this wonderful event, pick up some Crisp Chocolate and enjoy a sweet moment with music.

Unconstrained by genre, his music selection blends a mix of tempo and acoustic textures, allowing him to flexibly deliver everything from energetic dance sets for the floor to tranquil, introspective listening sets. He is a rare presence who moves between urban and rural scenes, primarily performing at clubs and DJ bars in Tokyo and local venues in the Tohoku region. He currently serves as a resident DJ at AOYAMA TUNNEL (every third Wednesday of the month) and Shibuya Suigetsu-MITSUKI (every first Monday of odd-numbered months), and as a regular selector at GOOD MUSIC BAR, where he has earned acclaim for his music selections that are in tune with the space and his consistent worldview. teresahenn as ryokism
