A Curated Day-Fest Blending City Pop, Guest Artists, And Food
An abbreviation of Contemporary Exotica Rock Orchestra, cero have spent two decades quietly reshaping Japanese pop music, folding jazz, funk and city pop into songwriting sharp enough to land them Best Alternative Artist at the Space Shower Music Awards.
Since 2016, the band has used the Mountain Day holiday to throw “Traffic,” a self-curated, festival-style event built around artists they’re excited about rather than a straightforward headline set. This year’s seventh edition brings rapper Daichi Yamamoto, Jin Ono performing live for the first time, plus Chimney and Aya Noguchi, with DJ sets, food stalls and a live screen-printing pop-up rounding out the day.
