At the 18th Shibuya Music Festival 2023, which will be held on Sunday, October 22, 2023, at the special stage in front of Shibuya 109, Japan's leading breakers SHIGEKIX (Shigeyuki Hani) and AYUMI (Ayumi Fukushima), as well as We will be holding a Cipher (*1) event in which anyone can participate, inviting national breaking athletes from the United States and France, with a powerful live band and sophisticated DJ music.
This event will be held as part of FDS's sports project ``Playground Project.''
The city of Shibuya is viewed as a 15 km2 sports playground, and the Sports Agency has established a ``content creation project'' for 2025 as a sports promotion project where citizens can ``do,'' ``see,'' ``support,'' and ``connect.'' We will make it happen as part of this.
This project utilizes Shibuya's unique culture and public spaces within the ward to allow athletes, players, and visitors, centered on breaking, which will be included in the Olympic Games in 2024, to "encounter" and "experience" through urban sports. We provide an opportunity to deepen your understanding of ``building connections'' and ``Diversity & Inclusion''. In addition, by inviting top athletes from Japan and overseas, we will promote inbound tourism and collaboration between the region and sports as a noteworthy project unique to Shibuya. We aim to create a PLAYGROUND where all people can shine, including those who come to Shibuya, as well as those who play, watch, and support sports in Shibuya.
(*1) A style in which participants form a circle and take turns dancing in the center.
