For such a small area, the Fujirockers Lounge fits a lot of important stuff!

One of those things is a booth run by “Tohoku Livehouse Daisakuen*”, a project started by SPC Peak Performance** with a mission to found livehouses in the Tohoku region. Though the great Tohoku earthquake was almost over two years ago, there is still a lot of work to be done, not least for the cultural/music industry!

The project aims to build new music venues along the coast of the Tohoku-Sanriku area, in Miyako, Ofunato and Ishinomaki. In doing so, they hope to bring more musicians and bands who will share their power and inspiration with the community, which is in need more of emotional and spiritual support rather than financial funds. They also hope that visiting musicians will see first hand the scars left by the disaster, and encourage others to support the region as much as possible.

And if you’re not looking to buy, you can always drop by for a chat with the guys and check out all the messages from musicians and bands across Japansーquite a few of them Fuji Rock veterans, including Brahman (playing later today), Namba 69 and many, many more.
