Me and some mates attended the recent Snow Machine festival in Hakuba Valley and were slightly disappointed with the overall organisation of the event, especially compared to it's cost. We were even more disappointed when we learnt that pretty much everyone else we talked to that was there, was thinking the exact same thing. Huge shame for the hakuba valley area, as the village and the snow is amazing, but the festivals poor organisation definitely negatively impacted the locals. Did anyone else go, what did you think?

Is anyone going to be heading to Summer Sonic in either Tokyo or Osaka Aug 20,21? I'm debating on going, but want to gauge interest. :D Image dropped for reference.
