EXPOSION

The theme is "EXPOSION". This word is a coined term that combines "EXPO" and "EXPLOSION", symbolizing the moment when knowledge, sensibility, individuality, and passion blossom all at once. "EXPO" is a place where diverse values such as culture, technology, and art gather, and people connect while looking into the future. Our Machikane Festival is also a space where each student's expression gathers and resonates, creating new encounters and discoveries. And "EXPLOSION" symbolizes the moment when those connections and energies are unleashed all at once. The passion put into preparation, cooperation with friends, and thoughts of challenge will bloom into explosive excitement on the day of Machikane Festival - that is the wish we put into this theme. It is Machikane Festival where you can express an unusual side of yourself. Whether it is Stage performances, food stalls, or in-facility projects, every character and creativity shine in every scene. "EXPOSION" aims to be a one-of-a-kind festival where each "like" and "dream" collide, intersect, and eventually become a great amount of energy that shakes the hearts of the audience. Into a festive space of explosive excitement, encounters, and discoveries―― Welcome to EXPOSION.
