Go check out the event report for all the goods, and be sure to check this edition’s freestyle contest! The 2017 Japanese League is currently being held all around the country, and several contestants are using every opportunity they can to hone their freestyles!

The next edition of 44FESTA will be held on March 26th, but be sure to go meet the crew at the JYYL events!

The report for 44FESTA vol. 19 is up!

The 19th installment of 44FESTA was held on September 24th, and despite the unpleasant weather, attendees were unfazed.

Get all the details on the official report, and don’ t forget to check this sweet clip video featuring music from the one and only Ky Zizan!

Having legends like Master Nakamura having a great time with the new school kids is one the things that make us want to attend 44FESTA!

Also, if you’ re in Japan in the coming weeks, 44FESTA will be busy with booths in two separate events: CHIMERA GAMES vol. 2, in Odaiba, and Yamato Industrial Fair in Yamato. Be sure to get all the details from 44FESTA!
