[Event Report] “We are THE LIVELY Christmas” Celebration
At THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI, we provide extraordinary experiences for our guests, focusing on the four key themes of DESIGN, MUSIC, ART, and TECH. By incorporating innovative ideas, fresh concepts, and the latest trends, we create moments that feel far removed from the everyday.
For Christmas 2024, we added the theme colors Navy & Red to these four keywords to present our exclusive holiday event, “We are THE LIVELY Christmas,” a celebration uniquely crafted by THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI.
Today, we are excited to share the highlights of two events from this program: the children’s workshop event “THE LITTLE CHRISTMAS,” held on Saturday, December 21, 2024, and the music live performance “Christmas Live,” held on Tuesday, December 24, 2024.
◆ THE LITTLE CHRISTMAS
A Special Gift from THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI for All the Good Kids
We hosted a children’s workshop event as part of our Christmas gift project, focusing on one of our key themes, ART. This event encouraged young participants to express themselves to the fullest by creating their own “artistic Christmas cake.”
The workshop featured pure white sponge cakes made with rice flour, crafted by the French chef from our in-house restaurant, THE LIVELY KITCHEN OSAKA HONMACHI. Using colorful buttercream, the children painted, spread, and designed their cakes however they liked, creating one-of-a-kind masterpieces.
Using colorful buttercream, toppings like konpeito (traditional Japanese sugar candies), and cornflakes, each child created a vibrant and unique cake that showcased their individuality. Through the theme of ART, the workshop offered an opportunity to experience the joy of bringing original ideas to life from a blank canvas.
The cakes they created became wonderful gifts, either for themselves or for their families. By the end of the event, the children had bonded with one another, making it a truly enjoyable and heartwarming Christmas celebration.
◆ Live Performance by ELINA STARZ “Christmas Live”
On Christmas Eve, December 24, 2024, we hosted a live performance by ELINA STARZ, an artist known for spreading messages of self-love through her music. The event featured a rich lineup, including classic Christmas songs and her original track, “WHO AM I,” delivering a powerful and unforgettable live experience.
ELINA STARZ is an artist with roots in both Japan and Jamaica, known for creating music centered on themes of self-love and resilience. Through her unique perspective, she conveys powerful messages of self-acceptance and empowerment to the world.
Her music, primarily based on R&B and reggae, transcends genres, blending diverse styles into a seamless fusion. ELINA STARZ’s songs aim to inspire people to embrace themselves and live more freely, offering strength and liberation through her artistry.
Through her musical activities in Toronto and her collaborations with artists from diverse backgrounds, ELINA STARZ has expanded her reach beyond Japan, establishing herself on the global stage.
In 2024, she released her second single, “WHO AM I,” which shares a powerful message of love and strength inspired by her journey of self-discovery. The song has deeply resonated with listeners, touching hearts worldwide.
Behind ELINA STARZ, there stood a unique and striking Christmas tree, measuring 2 meters in height. This live tree was decorated by the floral artist Figaraw, who is active in Osaka’s Kita district. The tree was adorned with flowers in the Christmas theme colors of Navy & Red, exclusive to THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI. This spectacular display captured the essence of a one-of-a-kind Christmas experience, available only at our hotel.
