Event Concept

“81” is the “code” that connects Japan and the world, and it is also an entry point.
This committee has elevated that symbolism beyond a simple country code notation,
into the story: “From the code (CODE) that connects Japan and the world, to the starting point of everything (CORE).”
 
With music at its center, we aim to create and deliver events that organically combine a variety of experiences,
so that the senses of everyone attending are continuously updated.
