As the state of emergency continued, the music festival "Super Sonic", which Chiba City had requested to postpone, started on the 18th, and city officials confirmed that appropriate infection control measures were taken.
"Super Sonic" was held for two days at "ZOZO Marine Stadium" in Chiba City, and on the 18th of the first day, there was a long line of visitors waiting for the opening while it was raining due to the approaching typhoon.
Chiba City, which had requested postponement based on the infection situation, has several staff members entering the venue with the cooperation of the organizer, and whether alcoholic beverages are being sold or the audience is yelling. It means that we confirmed the infection control measures.
In the video taken by the visitors, it can be seen that the guests are standing at intervals and enjoying the performance while shaking their bodies.
A woman in her twenties from Tokyo said, "The number of people is quite small compared to past festivals. I feel that there are more people in stations such as Shibuya."
A 19-year-old male university student in the prefecture said, "I definitely wanted to come because it was a ticket I had a hard time getting. I am worried about infection, so I want to wash my hands thoroughly."
A woman leaving the venue said, "The measures were taken well. I think it's strange that all the festivals are criticized."
Toru Ishibashi, director of the Chiba City Park Green Space Department, said, "I have confirmed that the rules are generally followed. I would like to ask each person to follow the rules and not to go back and forth."
