The season is becoming increasingly crisp and clear, and the sky we look up at after work feels significantly higher.
With December 1st, Circles will have completed 12 years of history.
This is all thanks to everyone who always visits the shop, everyone supporting us from afar via the internet, and all the remarkable adventurers who participate in our various events. Thank you so very much!!!
As we announced early on social media, this year's 12th-anniversary party will be held at our own Circles home.
We are currently preparing for the party, moving it forward by one day to Friday, 11/30, to celebrate with you all as a sort of pre-anniversary bash.
★Thanks to you, we are 12!
We've made it through another year, supported by so many people. Thank you truly. We would like to hold our feast of gratitude again this year. Look forward to it! You can follow the details of our anniversary event with #Circles12thAnniv.
DATE: Friday, November 30th, 18:00 - 22:00
LOCATION: Circles
ENTRY: ¥1,000 (2 Drinks)
On the day, you will be able to enjoy light food and drinks made with ingredients carefully selected from the lands we visited during this year's RideAlive. It's a rather wild feat to keep the shop open alongside the party, but we think it would be fantastic for you to chat away about parts, frames, and the latest routes while enjoying a pleasant buzz.
Please note that for this event, admission is by entry. Please enter through the 2F reception and pay the entry fee of ¥1,000 (2 Drinks) to gain access.
We are currently planning various attractions for the party venue.
★Disc Jockey
Music for the evening will be provided by our ace designer, who handles all the design work for RAL, EDIT -design & supply a.k.a. DJ motonorm, with a long-form LIVE SET in the pit area of the 1st floor where the food and drink area will be located!!!
With his enchanting playlist, everyone will be hit with a knockout blow!!!
Just kidding—but we’re looking forward to his excellent track selection once again!
And in our Circles 3F space, usually not open to the public—also known as the factory space—we will be setting up various workshops and an e-sports dojo! Details below!!!
