【Gathering of Kabu!】 The longest day of the year with the most sunlight. With the sunrise, about 20 Kabu riders set off from GA.KOPPER Ground. The "Geshi Kabu" event where Kabu riders gather on the summer solstice. This year marks the 5th edition! On Saturday, June 20th, the day before the solstice, Kabu began to arrive one after another from early afternoon, and familiar faces greeted each other with lively conversation. It was a bit chilly that day, with a misty rain falling. Even so, the chatter among the Kabu riders never ceased…! As a fire was lit behind GA.KOPPER, the Kabu riders naturally gathered around, enjoying a relaxing time with drinks in hand. At this year's Geshi Kabu, the word "Geshi" was seen everywhere, on T-shirts, sake barrels, and masu. Gathered around the fire, both Kabu and people formed a circle, sipping sake and savoring meat and vegetables. The loudest cheers erupted when the pizza baked in the earth oven was served. Instead of "Pizza Hut," the "Kabu Hut" delivered pizzas to participants on Kabu! 🍕 With our stomachs filled, we danced to the live performance of the Hokkaido Bon Dance and the Geshi Kabu Ondo, and gradually made our way into the room. The sunrise on the summer solstice was at 3:42 AM. Despite the fun, everyone had an early departure. Though we all started off together, we set off at our own pace in our desired directions. Thank you for joining us from all over the country! Let’s meet again at the next Geshi Kabu~ 👋 #Geshi Kabu #Kabu #GA.KOPPER #Geshi Bashiri

Hoshino Resort Tomamu is home to Unkai Terrace. As a popular tourist spot, it attracts travelers from all over the country and the world during the summer vacation period. Until last year, it was common to see long lines starting from midnight in front of the lift station, and even after the gondola service began, people often had to wait over an hour to board. This season, the gondola has switched to a reservation system starting from the evening before, allowing guests to ride with almost no waiting time, making it significantly easier. However, since the sea of clouds is a natural phenomenon, you won't know if you can see it unless you actually go to the site at dawn. That's why the excitement when the sea of clouds is visible is so profound; everyone getting off the gondola was expressing their amazement. At this terrace, located over 1,000 meters above sea level, the temperature is about 6°C lower than at sea level. It gets quite chilly in the early morning, so dressing warmly is essential.

【GOK SOUND Workshop】 June 13th A "PA and Recording Workshop" was held by Yoshiaki Kondo from GOK SOUND. From 1 PM to 7 PM, we enjoyed a full six hours! In a room at GA.KOPPER (commonly known as the Sandbag Room), live PA practitioners, musicians, those recording their own songs, and people running live houses gathered. At the beginning, a very important discussion on electricity, which is essential for handling equipment. Just in time, thunder rumbled outside the window ⚡️ After a break with bagels and baked goods, we experienced mixing songs recorded on analog tape! We freely adjusted the knobs, bringing in and cutting out the sound of specific instruments, balancing the audio. Watching the analog tape spin round and seeing how the sound changed with our hands was exhilarating. In the latter half, we improvised and recorded participants' original songs. Amid the good tension of being recorded, everyone's adaptability was impressive. Listening to the sounds we played back from the tape... Before we knew it, six hours had flown by. I was glad to see the two from GOK SOUND again this year. Thank you for the live PA the following day as well!! I look forward to the day we can reunite in Nishiokoppe Village again! #Sound #PA #Recording #GOK SOUND
