About Music Lane Festival Okinawa 2025
Music Lane Festival Okinawa (MLFO) is a showcase festival designed to connect artists—selected via public applications and some bookings—from Japan and abroad with music professionals (delegates) from various Asian cities. The festival takes a city-circuit format, with multiple live venues hosting performances simultaneously. It is open to the general public and business pass holders.
Trans Asia Music Meeting (TAMM), which began in 2016 in Okinawa, aims to build a music network across Asia. It serves as the conference and networking component of MLFO and is open to performing artists and business pass holders. The program director is Norikazu Yamaguchi, CEO of Studio ENTRE, who continues in this role since 2024. The planning and operations are supported by students and faculty from EnterTech University, where practical and comprehensive music business education is provided.
