"Sound Messe in Osaka" is a festival of string instruments that brings together around 10,000 guitars, basses and ukuleles from around the world, with a focus on acoustic guitars and ukuleles.

It started in 2010 and gradually expanded in scale, becoming one of the largest festivals in Japan, but after its 2019 event it was hit by the coronavirus pandemic.
It has been held in the form of streaming such as Virtual Sound Messe, but it has finally been decided that it will be held as a real event in May this year for the first time in four years!!
