Shokz Japan will sponsor and exhibit at the outdoor music festival JOIN ALIVE 2026 in Hokkaido on July 18-19. The booth will offer trial listening of the OpenDots 2 and OpenDots Air earphones, a message board for brand ambassador Ichiro Yamaguchi of Sakanaction, and an SNS campaign for prizes.
Sakanaction, the band of Shokz brand ambassador Ichiro Yamaguchi, performs on the 19th at JOIN ALIVE 2026, an outdoor music festival held July 18-19 at Iwamizawa Park in Hokkaido. Shokz Japan is an official sponsor of the event and will operate a booth on both days.
At the booth, attendees can try the latest ear cuff earphones OpenDots 2 and OpenDots Air. Both models are open-ear designs that do not block ambient sound, making them suited for festival use. The booth also features a message board called MESSAGE SYMPHONY where fans can write support messages to Yamaguchi on the 19th. An SNS photo campaign offers original Shokz prizes while supplies last.
