WHAT IS KMC?
Starting in 2009 as a unique type of music festival in a culture where one has never existed, KMC has established itself as an annual event and a destination for international musicians looking to perform in Japan, as well as a model for other internationally minded music festivals in Japan.
KMC 2020

By way of live streaming, KMC 2020 (Sept. 18-20) aims to provide a truly borderless experience for musicians to learn about music markets in various countries.
