In addition to the workshops by music and behind-the-scenes technicians, cultural exchange and learning the island's old songs together, all participants enjoyed the experience of "changing Ogasawara from the festival" and reducing the environmental load, which encouraged sustainability action and contributed to the promotion of local culture. < Main performers >OGASAWARA DREAM SESSION/ONE VISION (Masaki OTAWA/Takemoto MATSUSHITA)/Yohei MIYAKE/Sho AKASU/Uenosuke Goro with Ryo Sado/Tamaru SUZUKI and others
