Five minutes into her set at this yr’s Fuji Rock Festival, Japanese rapper Awich captured the emotional heft of acting on the primary Green Stage.
“My daughter and I watched Sia carry out on this stage just a few years in the past,” the artist instructed the gang, referencing the Australian singer’s rain-soaked 2019 headlining slot. In a significant encounter with a Fuji Rock devotee named Rika, who had been coming to the occasion since its inception in 1997, Awich instructed the girl she wished to carry out on the Green Stage sometime, too. “I’ll cheer you on,” Rika had stated, which she did till her passing just a few years later. And now, right here Awich was, gracing that very stage.
It was a stirring second that served as a reminder that the occasion, which celebrated its twenty fifth version in Niigata Prefecture’s Naeba Ski Resort from July 26 to twenty-eight, has been deeply significant to many over time.
