The social distance live "RE: START" was held on September 20th at "Niji no Ko Park" in Kuroishi, Aomori.

The live event hosted by Aomori's dance and vocal unit "RINGOMUSUME" and local idols "Alps Otome" and "Riceball". It was an outdoor event with thorough measures against the new coronavirus infection.

The venue is a dam park constructed by the construction of the Aseishigawa Dam, where there is a stage tent in the 59,000 square meter park and a music festival is held locally. The live was held based on the "Guidelines for Preventing New Coronavirus Infection in Music Concerts" announced by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.

Visitors were informed of physical condition management and temperature measurement from two weeks ago, and were asked to measure temperature, wear masks, and disinfect at the time of admission. In addition, a maximum number of people was set and seating was required at intervals of 2 meters. We asked them to refrain from giving gifts to performers and staff, and prohibited acts such as cheering during live performances and swinging towels.

Ringomusume is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and was planning a commemorative tour to visit 20 locations nationwide, but all were canceled due to the influence of the new coronavirus. It was the first time in seven months for the live performance with the audience, and after the live performance, Ringo Musume leader Orin said, "I was so happy to meet the fans and I was full of tears. Everyone's feelings at the live were united. I once again felt that I loved that space. "

Shinichi Higawa of Apple Music said, "I was convinced that Aomori, which is rich in nature, can perform live while maintaining social distance in various ways. The live style of the Wiz Corona era has permeated, and events and live activities of artists in the prefecture have become popular. I'd be happy if you could come back little by little. "
