Discovering Daily Vibes Through Music: The Unique Mood Event Series Launches

Introducing the 'Mood' Music Event Series

Daikanyama Tsutaya Bookstore, located in Shibuya, Tokyo, is set to launch a groundbreaking monthly music event series called 'mood' starting August 2025. In collaboration with the Berlin-based speaker brand ADAM Audio, this series aims to explore a new relationship between music and our daily lives by focusing on the ambient influences of music on our moods.

The concept revolves around the idea of connecting with music not just through knowledge and theory but through sensory experiences and shared atmospheres. 'mood' invites participants to discover new ways of enjoying music while engaging with fellow attendees in an interactive environment.

The first installment of the 'mood' series will take place with TSUBAKI FM as the curator, focusing on the theme of film music. The events are scheduled as follows:
