工芸プレス This music festival was born from the class of the Crosstech Design Course “Social Implementation Exercise” of the Department of Information Design, Kyoto University of Arts. Under the theme of “Making society Happy through planning,” 27 second-year students spent the year thinking about the project and bringing it to life. The first Kyoto Kamogawa Music Festival 2022 will be held on March 19 (Sat) and 20 (Sun), 2022.
In the future, by nurturing this project every year, we aim to create new cultural and people-to-people exchanges from the point of contact of many people, mainly in Kamogawa, Kyoto, by meeting music, connecting towns and people.
The second-year students who are planning and implementing this class are students who have been affected by the spread of new corona infections since the beginning of enrollment.
We were unable to hold an entrance ceremony, and we have faced major social changes that I have never experienced before, such as the six months of classes immediately after admission are completely online.
When the students faced the theme of “Making society Happy through planning” of the “Social Implementation Seminar” in the second year, they thought about the following.
1) To look at the meaning of things that have been overlooked and to shine a light on its value again, thinking that it is familiar and “natural”.
2) In a society with the spread of new corona infections, instead of giving up something, think about “devising and doing things in a way”, “providing a new experience that will become a new normal”, and “shining a light on the essential significance of traditional things” with the power of planning and design.
Under such a statement, in the planning of the Kyoto Kamogawa Music Festival, we devised this project with the following four points in mind.
1) Knowing the convenience of online, I think again about the significance of a real place to share the same experience at the same time and in the same place (→ live project at Kyoto Art Theater Shunjuza venue)
2) Deliver wonderful gifts with the power of planning to graduates who were unable to create memories through various experiences due to changes in the social environment (live planning on the Eizan Train →)
3) Together with restaurants who have been greatly affected by the spread of the new corona infection, create a new opportunity to meet the shop and create new communication through the act that has spread during this time of “takeout” (Kamogawa Picnic, →)
4) Because you share the same time and place as others, not by yourself, you should realize the importance of invisible care to consider each other and spend comfortably with each other. To realize the significance of it in the culture of “sento” overflowing (kamogawayu tour →)
- 【Opening Declaration】
This event, held around the Kamogawa River in Kyoto, is a music festival that is intended to create new cultures and actions from Kyoto by meeting and connecting people through music, the city, and nature. With the spread of covid-19, we are facing a major change once every 100 years. It wasn’t until people were forced to distance themselves that we realized the value of things that had existed all the time around us.
“The warmth of nature, the warmth of music, the warmth of people”
People living in that era meet nature, the city, and music in the same space. By spending the same moment, like the “equally spaced” people lined up in the Kamo River, they are conscious of each other’s existence and imagine the warmth of each other.
We would like to deliver such a “Kyoto Kamogawa Music Festival”.

■T-BOLAN
T-BOLAN
T-BOLAN, foursome rock band. Formed in 1990.
My record company is Beam.
In 1991, he made his debut with “Sadness Hurts.” A legendary rock band that ran up the 90s hit charts with million sales such as “I Don’t Want to Let Go,” “Love, Bye for Now” and “The PureNess of Passing.” During the peak of his activities, he was inactive due to psychogenic dysphonic dysphony that suddenly attacked the vocalist Arashi Moritomo (dissolved in 1999). From there, he fought the disease for more than a decade, recovered from miracles, and was completely revived in the summer of 2017.
On March 14, 2022, she released her long-awaited 6th original album, “Love Bomb = CHERISH : A Message from Einstein”, the first in about 28 years. At that time, in support of the feelings of the students planning the “Kyoto Kamogawa Music Festival”, we will appear at Kyoto Art Theater Shunjuza to deliver “Bomb of Love”.
3. Town Walk Planning “Kamogawa Picnic”
The spread of covid-19 has also had a major impact on restaurants. However, on the other hand, it was also an opportunity to realize the value of spending time in the space of the shop and interacting with people.
One of the town walk plans of the Kyoto Kamogawa Music Festival is the Kamogawa Picnic. With the cooperation of 11 restaurants near Kamogawa, we will provide an original takeout menu of “Kyoto Kamogawa Music Festival Limited”. For those who participate in this event, we will go around each store that you care about and purchase a takeout menu, and by all means, we will sit on the Kamo River with it and enjoy a picnic alone with their precious friends and family in the cheerful spring.
We have prepared bento boxes, breads, desserts, herbal teas, etc. from 11 participating stores. From each shop, you can go to kamogawa river in about 5 minutes on foot. Whether you’re alone, with your family or friends, take out the limited original menu and enjoy a picnic on the Kamo River.
■ How to enjoy kamogawa picnic
(1) Check the shops you care about from the map on the official website of Kyoto Kamogawa Music Festival 2022.
(2) Visit the shop and purchase the “Kyoto Kamogawa Music Festival” limited menu (each menu is from 500 yen to 1,000 yen)
(3) Take out the product to the riverbank of kamogawa.
(4) Spread out the leisure sheet, eat delicious rice with your loved ones, touch the Kamo River and music flowing in front of you, and enjoy the “Kamogawa Picnic”.

4. Town walk planning “Kamogawa Yu Meguri”
Kyoto is also a city of “public baths” that the local people have carefully protected. The sound of the water heard in the public bath, the relaxed comfort, and the free and calm atmosphere that each person spends as they wish are somewhat similar to kamogawa. After enjoying a live music concert and a Kamogawa picnic, you will experience such an experience that makes your mind and body feel fluffy at a public bath.
At the Kyoto Kamogawa Music Festival 2022, six public baths along the Kamogawa river and the eizan train, the live venue, and around Kyoto Art Theater Shunjuza cooperated. Each public bath sells “limited original towels” from “Kyoto Kamogawa Music Festival 2022 × Sento”. Please get the first rare towel.

■Crosstech Design Course, Department of Information Design, Kyoto University of Arts
An unprecedented art university course with the three axes of business technology and creative as the pillars of the curriculum. In the creative part, we develop classes to come up with ideas and write proposals, in the technology part, so-called tech classes such as programming and 3D modeling, and in the business part, we develop classes that actually create business models. We are promoting the social implementation of art education, and some students implement plans and start businesses while they are in school, and are taking on new challenges at art universities.
■Kyoto University of Arts
It is the largest comprehensive art university in Japan with 13 departments and 23 courses. Through art, we foster the necessary power in society.
With the goal of “a country where art is transformed” by students who have studied art, the school course promotes art education that emphasizes the relationship between society and art. There are more than 100 “social implementation projects” annually where students solve problems faced by companies and local governments with the power of art design. We foster socially expressive artists through group work and actual work across departments.
