Students from Koriyama Support Fukushima TV's Public Recording Event as Audio and Lighting Crew for Music Live

International Art & Design University College, a school corporation of the NSG Group, conducted a practical on-site training program on June 20, 2026 (Saturday) from 13:00 to 19:00 at the special stage in front of Koriyama Station West Exit. The event, titled 'MUSIC TIME LIVE,' was a public recording event hosted by Fukushima Television Co., Ltd. to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the renovation of the west exit area.

In the entertainment industry, there is strong demand for personnel equipped with 'on-site capability'—the ability to respond immediately to diverse situations. Our institution has long promoted practical education through real-world events. This time, we fully supported the goals of Fukushima Television (Fukutele), which organized 'MUSIC TIME LIVE' to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Koriyama Station West Exit renovation, aiming to revitalize the local community and promote Fukushima Prefecture's music culture.

On June 20, 2026 (Saturday) from 13:00 to 19:00, all students from the Sound & Music Department conducted on-site training at the special stage in front of Koriyama Station West Exit. The primary goal was to cultivate 'on-site capability' and contribute to regional revitalization. As part of the training, students worked alongside professional engineers, handling sound (PA) and lighting equipment operations, stage management, and other operational support tasks (crew duties), experiencing firsthand the front lines of professional event production.

Additionally, to further energize the event atmosphere, students performed on stage as an opening band, gaining comprehensive knowledge of live production from both technical and performer perspectives.

Students shared vivid feedback: 'Interacting with professional equipment and experiencing the tension of a live event allowed us to develop responsiveness that can only be learned on-site. Seeing the audience smile because of our support and performances deepened our sense of fulfillment in energizing the local community through music.'

A&D will continue to actively collaborate with various local events in Koriyama, contributing to regional revitalization. Through practical environments that treat the local community as a learning space, we will continue to promote the development of professional talent capable of excelling as immediately effective personnel in the entertainment industry.
