Following on from last year, "NEXT MIXTURE - Furumachi Creative Festival - Vol. 2," an event focusing on young creators who will lead the next generation, will be held again this year. Over 35 teams from across genres and regions will gather in the atrium on the first floor of Laforet Harajuku's Niigata NEXT21. The event will run for two days, on November 16th and 17th. In addition to a variety of creators showcasing their work, the event will also feature a live painting session by Ai☆Madonna, a female artist known for her illustrations of beautiful girls and who has collaborated with artists such as Dempagumi.inc. Other planned events include performances by Band Ja Nai Mon!, the group that made waves with their collaboration with Mikio Sakabe, performances by Niigata local idol group RYUTist, and a talk show featuring Niigata-born contemporary artist Aida Makoto.

Other participating creators and brands include Niigata-based brands Utopia, Smade, H.mildblud, NITF (International Total Fashion College), PLUG, tickle*tickle, and VeLo, as well as Schneek, One Piece and Tights, Aquvii, MocA, and MELANTRICK HEMLIGHET.
