Every year, we have a team of English live reporters at Fuji Rock Festival at Naeba, Niigata, Japan. Until recently, we’ve reported over on the English site (www.fujirock.com) but have since moved over to this page and our social media channels (see below for links). Let us introduce you to our team!

Jonathan
“I wish I could juggle, but I just can’t. I can, however, snap my fingers very well. I am very excited for this year’s festival, especially Kraftwerk and Shibusashirasu. I hope it isn’t too hot or rainy!”

Nina
“The only reason I have my phone out during live shows is because, that screen is the only way I can see the stage! I’m excited to see Awich, and to discover all the emerging artists at the Rookie A Go-Go stage!”

Park
“In high school, I was too lazy to learn to read music so I chose to play the drums in marching band. This year I’m excited to catch a lot of interesting electronic artists, namely PAS TASTA, Floating Points, Kraftwerk, peterparker69 and E.O.U. Also one of my favorite Japanese artists, group_inou has reunited after a long hiatus and I can’t wait to catch them live for the first time in over 9 years.”

Sean
“I’m from Cleveland, which is home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! I’m dying to see Fontaines DC, and for my hipster pals, Glass Beams. I also want to see how Jesus &Mary Chain are holding up after 40 years. Definitely excited for seeing some good music and getting a little muddy and sweaty with all the good friends I have made at Fuji Rock over 20 years”
