The method of performance is entirely up to the artist and can vary from theatre, to musical arrangement to talk show style pieces. The event, which commenced in 2007, is designed to nurture talent and communicate success stories within the younger generation of aspiring creators in a “passionate” and “dramatic” fashion that will eventually bear fruit for future generations of content creators in Japan and abroad.
The program features a vast array of creators from all aspects of the Japanese arts and culture content industry. “Geki 3” will feature daily shows by a professional from the music, theatre, robotics, animation, broadcast, film or game industries who will present a live three-hour interactive show. The presenters will provide the audience with details of their own success and dispense advice to their young audience on trends and predictions for the content industry. This is a unique opportunity for all upcoming creators to learn from their role models and discover how they can achieve their own personal success in the future.
