Announcement 2: As announced in July 2025 , lanterns sponsored by GIGAZINE were displayed at the Ibaraki District Hometown Festival.



The editor-in-chief of GIGAZINE also participated in the preparations the day before from the morning, creating the red and white pole behind the stage on which the GIGAZINE lanterns would be hung. In addition, he also set up the tents for each night stall, arranged the tables, carried plywood, etc.



On the day of the Hometown Festival at Ibaraki Elementary School, the editor-in-chief of GIGAZINE also participated in the morning set-up. The event then began at 4 p.m. Unlike previous years, the event was delayed by a month, resulting in a flood of elementary, junior high, and high school students from the surrounding area. The bicycle parking area was temporarily expanded, and an incredible number of people came out. After interviewing people involved in the previous year's night market, it seemed that the number of visitors was 1.5 to 2 times that of last year. The editor-in-chief of GIGAZINE worked tirelessly from the evening until the night at the 'After School Children's Classroom' night market, selling all the remaining items from the previous year by 7 p.m.



The editor-in-chief of GIGAZINE also participated in the cleanup work from the morning of the day after the Furusato Festival. Thank you for your hard work.
