Special guest: Hideki Katsu
Okinawa Born in Yaeyama Taketomi Island. A pioneer of the Okinawa progressive sound. Encountering an ancient guitar with an Asian tone, he established a unique sound that fuses the essence of Okinawan traditional music with modern music. The representative song "Milk Munari" received a great response in the prefecture as soon as it was announced, and is widely known mainly as a dance song by the creative Eisa and as a prefectural folk song. His musicality is not limited to Okinawa, but continues to create a magnificent worldview as stateless world music.
Special guest: IRIS
A chorus unit consisting of sisters Keiko and Mitsue from Ishigaki Island. After performing nationwide as "ma-yun" from 2010, they resumed their activities as "IRIS" in Ishigaki Island in 2012. They are currently participating in the BAGADA BAND, which was formed by Yaeyama artists. They are also participating in the choruses of many other artists, expanding their field of activity. "IRIS" is the name of the goddess of the rainbow that appears in Greek mythology. The name was chosen with the initials of "~Ishigaki Island, Ryukyu~" in mind, with the desire to build a rainbow bridge from Ishigaki Island and Ryukyu and deliver songs of dreams and hope.
Special guest: Jun'ei Osako
Graduated from Fukuoka University of Education, Department of Arts and Sciences, Music Major. Afterwards, he furthered his studies in Milan, Italy, Prague, Czech Republic, and Romania. He performed in front of the Crown Prince and Princess (now the Emperor and Empress). He also appeared as a soloist on the Japan tour of the Berlin Philharmonic Violin Ensemble.

Her life's work is to promote the exploration of Japanese culture, traditional crafts, contemporary art, the environment, and peace, through DIY art projects in old Edo houses and as an official fan ambassador for Shimogamo Shrine.
