Peaceful Love Rock in Okinawa City
July 15, 2013 Ryukyu Shimpo
About 1,600 rock fans crowded into the Okinawa City Open Air Stage on July 14, in the final day of the 31st Peaceful Love Rock Festival 2013. Ten bands from Okinawa and other prefectures took part and this year Rock N’ Roll Band Murasaki was the last performer. The crowd was whipped into a frenzy when the group performed one of its heavy, original pieces.
Veteran rock groups, including Pryzm, Jet and Kachan & Rainbow, which perform in Okinawa City (formerly Koza City), took part in the festival. People enjoyed the big rock festival, now an annual summer event, raising their hands and moving their bodies in front of the stage. The festival held in Okinawa City on July 13 and 14 was sponsored by the Executive Committee, Okinawa City and the Okinawa City Tourism Association.
