COUNTDOWN JAPAN 20/21 will be canceled due to the spread of new coronavirus infection.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to everyone who decided to participate in the announcement when it was about to be held.We have made various efforts to make the event a reality, but we had to give up in various circumstances.It is very disappointing.

It's been less than a week before the festival, and although the construction hasn't started, preparations for the festival are almost complete.It's really disappointing that the decorations, CG, and the huge amount of things prepared over the course of a year that create that extraordinary sukima end without being seen by the participants.In order to prevent the spread of infection, we had a long discussion and considered various measures.I wanted to appeal to society the struggle to protect the festival and music together with the participants so that the infection would not spread even if it was held.

Needless to say, the preparations for the performing artists were also in progress.The feeling of betting on a precious opportunity in a situation where I couldn't perform live was painfully conveyed during the meeting.Don't stop the festival, don't stop the live, don't stop the music, that feeling just gets stronger.It's the thoughts of music fans, artists, and everyone involved like us.I hope that next year will be a year of hope for music.

Details on how to refund tickets will be announced on the official website and the official app "J Fes" in mid-January 2021.

We are currently considering how to respond to those who have applied for advance reservations and mail-order sales of official goods.Details will be announced on December 12th (Friday).
