GAME MUSIC FES. (2025/6/22, Yokohama)

[Steven]

This is a music event sponsored by Tatsujin Co., and there will be a lot of amazing musicians playing their glorious music from Sega, Toaplan, Raiden, and stuff. It's going to be on the 22nd of June at Yokohama Arena. I probably should have posted this earlier, and only a few people here could probably come anyway because not many people here are in Japan, but just in case...

Tickets: https://t.livepocket.jp/e/gamemusic_fes

Tickets are limited and almost sold out already from what I understand, so if you want to go, do not wait.

It is best to bring and use concert earplugs, as live houses are extremely loud. If you've been to one before you know this already, but if you haven't been before and didn't know this, you have been warned.

This time a bunch of awesome people are performing, including

Hiro-shishou (Hang On, Space Harrier, Fantasy Zone, After Burner, Out Run, etc.)
Uemura Tatsuya (Hishouzame, Kyuukyoku Tiger, Hellfire, Zero Wing, Out Zone, Dogyuun!!, etc.)
Matsumoto Daisuke (Pink Sweets, Muchi Muchi Pork!, Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE, Ketsui arrange, Akai Katana arrange, etc.)
Sato Go (Raiden II, Raiden DX, Raiden III, Raiden IV, etc.)
IPPO (Phantasy Star III and IV, etc.)
Yonao Keishi (YU-NO, Asuka 120%, Mad Stalker, FixEight Exa Label, Batsugun Exa Label, Sonic Wings Reunion, etc.)
Ikeda Minorock (Game Center Mikado owner)

This is a historic occasion, as this is Hiro-shishou's new band's first live, which I am looking forward to. Ikeda-san's new band will be there for their first live as well. I have their demo tape of I DEFEND STM from Tatsujin Ou and it's pretty great.

There will be booths where people will be selling their stuff, although I don't know what will be available. I'm willing to bet that everyone's going to have CDs to buy. I imagine getting signatures and stuff will be possible, as it's pretty much a given at these events, so if you want your PCBs or CDs or whatever signed, bring them, but no promises. It's an official Toaplan/Tatsujin event, so you already know I will be there, so if your Japanese is garbage but can do English, come find me and I'll interpret/translate.

This is amazing and explains all the Mikado advertising happening on the Mikado YouTube channel. Will definitely be there!
