Watch out for Philosophy’s Dance! Leave your mark at 「Hokuriku’s largest idol festival」 with over 50 groups performing 【Kanazawa Event】

You’re going to do it, aren’t you, Ishikawa Prefecture? Or rather, Kanazawa City. Or rather, 「Up-T」. The largest idol festival in Hokuriku, 『Up-T presents Kagayaki Fest 2023』, will be held on August 19 (Sat.) and 20 (Sun.), and the lineup of performers that has now been announced is just amazing.

Gathering of famous idols

A total of more than 50 idol groups, ranging from national idols such as SUPER☆GiRLS, Masked Girls, and #BABABABAMBI to local idols, will gather in Kanazawa, and to think, the 『mid-tv Special Live – Kagayaki Showcase』 was just held in March. It seems that idol fever is on the rise in Hokuriku.

The local groups, such as the Hokuriku Idol Club and Nishikanazawa Girls’ Troupe, will perform again this year, and we hope they will do as well as the other famous idols.

In this context, I would like to draw your attention to the 「Dance of Philosophy」.

What is Philosophy of Dance?

Since its formation in 2015, the group has been active while its members have undergone changes. Kenta Tokui (Heisei Nobushi Kobushi), known as a passionate fan of idols, praised Philosophy’s high dance potential and the group gradually began to gain recognition.

Philosophy Dance has a connection with Kanazawa, having held a live concert there last year. This year’s event also features Tsubaki Factory from Halo Pro, and will be a highlight of the competition between two idol groups that are known for their performances (although they will not be on the same stage, it is not often that live performances can be seen on the same day at the same event).
