**BMSG FES '23** is a large-scale festival by BMSG artists led by SKY-HI in celebration of the company's third anniversary. It took place on September 23-24, 2022 at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium and September 30 and October 1 at Osaka-jō Hall.

On October 7, the event will be shown in 145 theaters across Japan as well as select theaters in Taiwan and South Korea.

The Tokyo concert will be available for streaming in Japan from October 8-31 on the Hulu Japan Store.

## Background

From May 23-27, 2023 BMSG released a series of videos on each artist, group, and trainee's Instagram accounts containing images of what appeared to be pieces of a puzzle of the BMSG logo and two flashing numbers. Fans quickly ascertained the puzzle was related to this year's BMSG FES, which had yet to be announced. As more numbers were revealed each day, speculation that they were coordinates of the event's two locations circulated around the fandom. An additional video of a map of Japan shooting off lines in two directions added to theory. When the final numbers were revealed the locations became clear.

The end of the puzzle coincided with the first day of SKY-HI ARENA TOUR 2023 -BOSSDOM- where SKY-HI officially announced **BMSG FES '23**, which would take place over two weekends: September 23-34 in Tokyo and September 30 - October 1 in Osaka.

A video of the puzzle's answer was released. The selected venues were Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium and Osaka-jō Hall.

With the number of BMSG members now at 23 (up from 2022's 15), they were divided into two all-star groups based on their home towns: BMSG EAST and BMSG WEST.

A week before the first show both groups released their own songs, The Sun from the EAST and The Moon in the WEST, a change up from last year's BMSG ALLSTARS song New Chapter, which premiered at BMSG FES '22.

The fest featured collaborations as well as individual artist sets. Prior to the show, to promote the collaborative spirit, several videos and TiktToks were released of the members in various combinations.
