This fall, Makoto Nomura and Otomachi will launch the magnificent pun festival, “1010 People in Senju.”

The “Senju Pun-Filled Music Festival,” centered on Makoto Nomura, is a project that aims to allow locals to trade puns in a relaxed atmosphere, and then create music from the experience. “Puns” are jokes that combine different words to give birth to power. “Pun-Filled Music” is an initiative aimed at developing a new form of writing music using the power of puns.

This year, the “Senju Pun-Filled Music Festival” presents the long-awaited “1010 People in Senju” recital, which has been a dream since the festival’s inauguration. By inviting musicians from Indonesia and Thailand, we will put on a series of performances containing traditional and created instruments, all the while referring back to our repertoire of “Pun-Filled Music.”
