Electronic music event “irori”, focusing on the stillness and depth of electronica, ambient, and IDM, will take place on May 23, 2026 at PLASTIC THEATER in Sapporo, Japan. Launched in 2023, irori marks its 5th edition with a special guest live performance by daisuke tanabe, internationally acclaimed for his intricate and delicate sound design.

The event will also feature Renard, a generative VJ utilizing live coding to create audiovisual interactions in real time. Live performances will include Hokkaido-based callasoiled, known for their cold, textured sonic landscapes, and yumenoizchan, an emerging artist from Tohoku exploring modular synthesis with a uniquely nerdy sensibility. Local DJs cvel, Hanakami Ryuu, and Himajin will also appear on the lineup. Visuals will be handled by chiyo_midnight and Gurimo, shaping an immersive audiovisual experience throughout the night.
