Despite the music, beer and general high jinx, continuing to support the victims of the Tohoku earthquake was still very much on everybody’s minds at this year’s Fuji Rock Festival.
Continued support in the North of Japan is still greatly needed – recovery from this disaster will take years not months. Here is a video of the current state of the Ishinomaki area, which we took on our last volunteer mission up there.
This is why Tokyo Indie and the artists at this year’s festival want to help raise even more money for Tohoku. Whilst covering the festival we asked the artists appearing at the festival to show their support and to sign our Charity Fuji Rock T-Shirt. In the end The Music, CSS, The Kaiser Chiefs, Digitalism, The Vaccines, Mogwai, The Naked and Famous, Gruff Rhys and Noah and the Whale put pen to tee.
To be in with a chance of winning the T-shirt just make a donation on this page (English) or on this page (Japanese) and send us a mail at info@tokyoindie.com – to claim your ticket. The T-shirt will be given away in a raffle with each £5 donation representing 1 ticket in the draw – a £10 donation represents two tickets in the draw (minimum donation of £5 to enter the draw).
The draw will be made on September 30th and the winner will be contacted via email and announced on our website.
