The Story: Fukushima’s Cultural Crossroads
The genesis of September JAM lies in the deep-rooted community spirit and artistic resilience of Fukushima Prefecture. Historically, “Kaze to Rock Imoni-kai” began as a unique fusion of a traditional autumn imoni (taro root soup) gathering and a high-energy rock festival. Organized by renowned Fukushima-native creative director Michihiko Yanai, the festival built its reputation on intimacy, where world-class rock musicians perform mere meters from the audience, sharing local cuisine and camaraderie.
Parallel to this, “Ohara☆Break” established itself as a bohemian, multi-disciplinary retreat on the shores of Lake Inawashiro. Focused on creating a relaxed atmosphere where acoustic sessions, poetry, theatrical acts, and visual installations blend effortlessly with nature, Ohara☆Break offers a reflective contrast to the traditional summer music marathon.
For 2026, these two distinct forces join hands to present “September JAM (ARTS / Kaze to Rock Imoni-kai / Ohara☆Break ’26 Autumn – Imoni-kai -)”. The event expands beyond a standard weekend concert into a six-week visual and performing arts retreat held across Inawashiro Town. Featuring a staggering roster of talent—ranging from rock legends like Kiyoshiro Imawano, Tamio Okuda, and Kenichi Asai to visual artist Yoshitomo Nara, literary figure Kotaro Isaka, and iconic manga creator Osamu Tezuka—September JAM serves as a comprehensive showcase of Japanese contemporary creativity.
A distinctive highlights of the event is its official souvenir apparel: a premium reversible sukajan (souvenir jacket) crafted specifically for the occasion. Featuring a Khaki/Beige palette on the Ohara side and a Pink/Black execution on the Kaze to Rock side, the garment symbolizes the dual nature of this grand regional collaboration.
