Exploring the Fusion of Children and Music at the Event
While waiting for the band to appear, I noticed that there were many children in the audience. Come to think of it, I remember they were renting noise-canceling headphones at the entrance. Children’s reactions are always interesting. In a sense, it is the senses of children, which are not yet tinted with any colors, that can respond most directly to noise and electronic sounds. If you listen to anime theme songs or video game music, they are the ones who can take in all the surprisingly informative lyrics and difficult developments in the music. So it seems to me that the children at this festival today are enjoying the opportunity to enjoy music with all their senses, rather than being unusual children. It was cute and endearing to see the children dancing on the sides of the stage and behind the set. I think this way of mixing with the children, which is different from the “children go play in the child space over there,” presents a different idea.
