The live event "Interlude Vol.02" will be held on August 20th at Inaribashi Square in front of SHIBUYA STREAM. The event is organized by Tokyu and Magnet Studio.

Based on the concept of "Encountering music in the city and taking a breather," this event utilizes public spaces along the Shibuya River and aims to create a moment to pause amidst the hustle and bustle of city life. It is a free live music event that was first held in June of this year, and this will be its second installment.

The event name, "Interlude," means "interlude" or "interlude." The aim is to create a space where passersby can naturally encounter music amidst the sounds of the river flowing beside SHIBUYA STREAM and the nighttime atmosphere, allowing them to experience a small respite in their daily lives.

This time, the unit "Etoile Duo," consisting of singer-songwriter Mizuki Ohira, pianist Kazuhiro Bessho, and vocalist Monet, will be performing.
