Senko Riot 2009

[Machine Translation] SCHOOL OF LOCK!", a radio station that holds the key to the future, "Sony Music", a record company that searches for the key to the future, and "au by KDDI", a cell phone company that connects the key to the future, collaborated to hold the TEENAGE LOCK FES "Senko Riot" for teens only. This miraculous summer festival was held on August 8, 2009, on a special stage on the rooftop of the West Wing of Tokyo Big Sight. 14 finalist groups from all over Japan participated in this event after winning 5500 entries from all over Japan. This year's event, the second of its kind, featured an even greater variety of artists than last year's, and their high-level music and performances attracted a great deal of attention. The event was a great success, with more than 10,000 listeners (twice as many as last year) from all over the country gathering at the venue on the day of the event. The 14 finalists, all of whom are teenage flashes of brilliance, have re-recorded their songs that have been well-received on Chaku-Uta, and have brought them all together on one disc. This album is filled with "future talents" who will surely shake the history of Japanese music.
