The evening chimes of Fujiyoshida City’s disaster prevention administrative radio will change to Fujifabric’s “Wakamono no Subete” from July 7th (Sunday) to July 13th (Saturday).
This initiative, proposed under the “Heisei 24 Fiscal Year City Hall Young Staff Project,” is named in honor of Masahiko Shimura, a musician from Fujiyoshida City who passed away suddenly in 2009. Fujifabric’s songs are broadcasted via the disaster prevention administrative radio around Shimura’s birthday, around July 10th, and his natal day, around December 24th. This marks the 26th occasion of the project, attracting many fans from both within and outside the prefecture to visit the city during this period.
Additionally, at Shimo-Yoshida Station on the Fujikyuko Line in the same city, since 2021, Shimura’s vocals from “Wakamono no Subete” and “Akaneiro no Yuuhi” have been used as train approach sounds. The station platform features special panels introducing Shimura’s profile and musical achievements, celebrating his contributions.
Furthermore, in commemoration of their 20th anniversary, Fujifabric will hold “THE BEST MOMENT” at Tokyo Garden Theater in Ariake, Tokyo on August 4th (Sunday) and a special three-man live event “Non-Fiction” with Quruli and ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION at Osaka-jo Hall in Osaka on November 10th (Sunday). Tickets are currently available on ePlus for both events.
