It's the only major summer music festival that actually happens within Tokyo, at a park right next to Shin-Kiba Station. Co-organised by YMO's Yukihiro Takahashi, World Happiness is a family-friendly affair, with a decent kids area and special tickets for parents accompanying elementary school age children.
The Beatniks, Fennesz + Sakamoto, Gen Hoshino, Kimonos, Kotringo, Little Creatures, Kazufumi Miyazawa as Ganga Zumba, Okamoto's, Sakanaction, Salyu x Salyu, Scha Dara Parr, Shinsei Kamattechan, Hiroshi Takano, Towa Tei, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Yuki…
An eminently tasteful selection of domestic acts, although it's probably not worth applying unless you're a YMO fan.
