As lifestyles and values diversify, there is a growing trend among the middle-aged and senior generations to seek partners for their 'second life.' In response, IBJ hosts over 8,000 matchmaking parties annually for those aged 40 and over. Furthermore, 'experiential matchmaking' that allows people to connect naturally through music and activities is gaining attention, with events themed around Showa and Heisei disco culture becoming increasingly popular.
In Nagoya, the closure of 'Maharaja,' a symbol of the city's once-thriving disco culture, has left few places to enjoy such an atmosphere. Many who feel nostalgic for the music and culture of their youth have expressed a desire to relive that excitement, which led to the planning of this event.
The event includes a toast, block-based networking, a dance time led by a DJ, and a free networking session. There will be no formal matching announcements; instead, the event encourages participants to exchange contact information and build relationships at their own discretion.
