MAGICAL CAMP 2007

HAPPENINGText: Emi Honma, Madoka Suzuki, Manami Okumura

After that, DJ KENSEI, O.N.O, EYE, THA BLUE HERB continued showing hot performances until the next morning. Around the stage, some were moving their bodies, some were sitting on the ground, and others were laying on the bench under the pallid sky. After the sun rise, KOSS a.k.a KUNIYUKI, Naohito Uchiyama, DAISHI DANCE showed up one after another. Because some visitors started leaving, it was sparse audience comparing to the previous night, but they seemed to relax according to individual fancy.

The last artist was Miyuki Hatakeyama with Hands of Creation. After the Hands of Creation played several music, Miyuki Hatakeyama appeared with bright white dress with black dots. It was impressive that she was emotionally singing with her eyes closed. She showed a slow number, saying “I’d like to contribute this song to Hokkaido’s sky with you all.” Although the sun was getting very strong, the audience on the bench listened attentively to her music.

What we saw might be only one part of Magical Camp, but it gave us big awareness. We could feel that artists and visitors united through music, and have a moving experience. And we thought the possibility that many people make happiness with the same feeling. If so, music might change the world. The more people feel the same way, the better world will be.

We hope Magical Camp as a festival tying up the happiness from Hokkaido to the world will continue next year and the year after.
