Listen to the song, 'Anthem'. Does anything strike your heart? This is the world of Fujifabric!!

The exhibition is organized by United Shinmachi Town Neighbourhood Council - nothing to do with big organizations for commercial purposes.  In other words, Shimura kun's old neighbours are planning, organizing and putting up display in order to introduce the great musician form their town to the others.

Last year, a similar type of exhibition was held in his hometown, Fujiyoshida City, but because the target was local people who live around the town, it was not advertised widely in Japan. (It was reported on Yamanashi Daily Newspaper on 24th December 2010).
This year, it is opened up for everyone!

There will be many exhibits on display - Fujifabric's CD's since their debut, photos, newspaper articles on major and local newspapers which Shimura kun kept for himself, and more!
Thanks to Shimura kun's parents, and neighbourhood council, the exhibition has been made possible this year again.
As his neighbours, who have knows and loved him since little, are organizing it, it will be full of hand-made warmness, and his decency and genius show through exhibits for sure.

No matter if you are a Fujifabric fan or not, why don't you visit Masahiko Shimura Exhibition if on the tour in Fujiyoshida City?
Their music is as great as Mt. Fuji!!

Today's song is 'Teenager' in their 3rd album, 'Teenager'.
There are many other great songs of Fujifabric!
