Japan - High in Tokyo sky, on the 52nd (top) floor of the Mori Tower building in Roppongi Hills an all night event Roppongi Hills Cultural Festival 'till Sunrise was held for the release of the new Japanese movie Innocence.

Tokyo based rental company Sound Service MMU, in co-operation with Sound Projects representative STK, provided the sound equipment for this special event, with main FOH systems based around the Sound Projects 4 (SP-4).

Sound engineer Asada split the area into two zones (two stages). For the main stage he specified double SP4 Diamond stacks for FOH, two SP2-FM floor monitors on stage and two personal monitors as side fills. The second (smaller) stage was reinforced by a SP-3 systems and again personal monitors as side fills. All around the top floor several X-act full range monitors and XM studio monitors were used.

The event took place on Valentine's Day 2004. Many popular Japanese DJs and artists, such as jazz singer Kimiko Ito who sings the theme song of Innocence, performed in this exceptional setting. Positioned 250m above sea level, all enjoyed the 360° view and the rising sun over Tokyo city.
