Czecho No Republic Celebrates 15 Years with "DREAM SHOWER 2025" Featuring SUPER BEAVER, sumika, and go!go!vanillas
Japanese rock band Czecho No Republic is celebrating its 15th anniversary with a series of special projects throughout the year, aptly titled "15 no Otanoshimi" (15 Pleasures). The third of these announcements is the revival of their self-curated event, "DREAM SHOWER 2025," scheduled to take place on October 5th at Toyosu PIT.
"DREAM SHOWER" holds significant history for the band, having originated as an independent project first held at Shibuya eggman in 2010. Over the years, it has grown into a signature event for Czecho No Republic, evolving to include solo performances at larger venues like Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall and Osaka Castle Music Hall, as well as omnibus events at Shinkiba STUDIO COAST.
For this special 15th-anniversary edition, "DREAM SHOWER 2025" will be held at the spacious Toyosu PIT and will feature the return of three bands who have previously graced the "DREAM SHOWER" stage: go!go!vanillas, sumika, and SUPER BEAVER. The band members have expressed their deep respect and admiration for these fellow artists, emphasizing the unique and special nature of this one-day event.
Yuko Takei, a member of Czecho No Republic, expressed his excitement for the return of "DREAM SHOWER," an event he states the band has cherished since their formation. He conveyed his admiration for the invited bands: go!go!vanillas, whom they have consistently loved and felt a connection with since their early days; sumika, whose music creates an unparalleled sense of euphoria; and SUPER BEAVER, who immediately agreed to participate without hesitation. Takei remarked on their happiness at being able to share the stage with such esteemed artists and promised that Czecho No Republic would take both newcomers and long-time fans "beyond happiness" to an incredibly colorful night.
Shotaro Yamazaki echoed this sentiment, expressing his initial surprise at the growth of the "DREAM SHOWER" event since its inception. He conveyed his gratitude to go!go!vanillas, sumika, SUPER BEAVER, and everyone involved in making the event possible, promising to pour all their appreciation into creating the best festival possible.
Mai Takahashi reminisced about the six-year hiatus since the last "DREAM SHOWER," noting that the 15th anniversary felt like the perfect occasion to revive it, not as a solo show but as a celebratory festival. She shared that the band reached out to three respected bands who had made a significant impact on Czecho No Republic's history, and they were thrilled when all three accepted the invitation. Takahashi vividly recalled the intense energy and friendly rivalry experienced when performing alongside go!go!vanillas, sumika, and SUPER BEAVER, stating that having all three bands together would make it the happiest day of the century. She emphasized their commitment to making it the best day possible as a thank you for 15 years of support.
Kazuki Sunagawa expressed his disbelief and excitement at being able to host such a dreamlike night for "DREAM SHOWER 2025," especially with the participation of three bands that Czecho No Republic deeply admires. He conveyed profound gratitude to the guest artists, whose acceptance of their invitation moved them immensely. Sunagawa also acknowledged that many attendees might be unfamiliar with Czecho No Republic and expressed the band's intention to deliver their best performance to leave a lasting impression. Ultimately, he emphasized the festive spirit of the event, encouraging everyone to put aside any worries and fully immerse themselves in the music, dancing, and overall celebratory atmosphere.
Tickets for "DREAM SHOWER 2025" are currently available for pre-sale through the fan clubs of each participating artist until March 31st. Various ticket options are offered, including all-standing, barrier-free area access, and a family area. The event promises to be a memorable celebration of Czecho No Republic's 15-year journey, bringing together a lineup of cherished musical peers for a night of vibrant performances.
