The music festival "Freedom LA" produced by singer-songwriter MINMI (age undisclosed) was held in California from the 4th to the 6th. Over the three days, more than 50,000 people attended, and the queue to get in was as long as 2 kilometers.

MINMI, who was the main act, performed a total of 17 songs on stage, including "Makana" and "Hibiscus." She expressed her satisfaction at the festival, which combined Japanese and American culture, saying, "I think it was a great success. I want to continue taking on new challenges in the future."

Genki Iwahashi (28), a former member of King & Prince and singer, made his first appearance at an overseas festival. He created a sense of unity in the venue with his magnificent performance, and was thrilled, saying, "Performing in America has been my dream since I was in middle school, so today I was able to make it come true. I'm very happy to be able to show my fans the moment their dreams come true."
